Suharto's Cold War
This book argues that the Indonesian dictator Suharto used the global Cold War to wage his own domestic and regional Cold Wars, mobilizing international capital to construct a counterrevolutionary dictatorship in Indonesia and promote authoritarian reaction in Southeast Asia. In the wake of the murder of the leaders of the Indonesian army by elements of the Communist Party of Indonesia on October 1, 1965, Suharto orchestrated a politicide in whic…
Indonesia and the Third Indochina War
The Third Indochina War called forth dramatic changes in the international relations of Southeast Asia. Foremost among these changes was a shift in the geopolitical orientation of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations ( asean ). The organization’s founders established asean in 1967 to contain Chinese influence in Southeast Asia. But in the wake of the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia in late 1978, asean forged a tacit alliance with the People…
On the Vitality of Area Studies
The study of Southeast Asia has generated profound theoretical insights whose reach has stretched far beyond the region itself. One need think only of Clifford Geertz’s writings on culture, Benedict Anderson’s on nationalism, and James Scott’s on the state. Indeed, it is now a truism among scholars of Southeast Asia that the region’s immense diversity makes it fertile terrain for the cultivation of larger, comparative ideas.1 “I owe a strange deb…
The Nixon Doctrine and the Making of Authoritarianism in Island Southeast Asia
President Richard Nixon arrived on the Pacific island of Guam in the late afternoon of July 25, 1969. Only hours after witnessing the splashdown of the Apollo XI spacecraft, Nixon spoke to reporters and articulated what came to be known as the Nixon Doctrine. The president focused his remarks on the need for a post-Vietnam War framework for American involvement in Asia. He argued that geography and history had fashioned of the United States a Pac…
A Diplomatic Counter-revolution
This article reinterprets the Indonesian invasion of East Timor as a 'diplomatic counter-revolution'. Using the central archival records of the Suharto regime for the first time in English-language scholarship, it unearths a diplomatic campaign undertaken by agents of the New Order to secure international support for an Indonesian invasion of East Timor. This diplomatic offensive spanned Southeast Asia, non-aligned and Afro-Asian networks, Wester…
Remaking the Imperial Presidency
The 1975 Mayaguez incident was a missed opportunity to establish a more democratic American foreign policy. President Gerald Ford managed the crisis seeking domestic and international credibility. But his conception of credibility was more fractured than that of his predecessors, who regarded it as synonymous with militarism, presidential primacy, and secrecy. Ford believed the preservation of American power depended upon a renewal of American de…
