Out of Business and on Budget:
The Challenge of Military
Financing in Indonesia (pdf)
Lex Rieffel and Jaleswari
Pramodhawardani have prodcuced
the latest comprehensive and
systematic study of this
daunting challenge facing
Indonesia. They describe the
evolution of the military's
business empire under President Suharto and its decline after
Suharto's resignation in 1998.
The authors challenge the
conventional wisdom that most of
the military's financing comes
from it's business activities,
and they cut through the
misinformed, muddled thinking
that clouds the current debate
on military funding
requirements. The book
identifies thirty policy issues
that the government will need to
address in building a
professional military that has
the force structure and
operational capacity required to
defend the country effectively.
The study, co-published by
USINDO and The Brookings
Institution Press, is available
from the Press using the order
form found via the title link
