Pancasila democracy retained the forms of
representative
democracy mandated by the 1945 constitution, but the
content was
refashioned to fit the requirements of the New Order.
Political
parties existed to channel popular energies into support
for
government goals. Elections were "Festivals of Democracy"
to make
people feel a part of the system. Underlying the formal
"depoliticized" political system in the early 1990s was an
intense political dynamic in which leading institutions
and
groups competed for power and influence in shaping
Indonesia's
future.
Data as of November 1992
