| Popis: | 104 Indonesia in the past was a region long under the colonial rule of Netherland. It was not until the era of president Sukarno that it became an independent country. He established the 1945 constitution on the basis of the Pancasila principles. Indonesia then undertook three temporary constitutions until the presidency of president Soeharto, when the 1945 constitution was finally established as the fundamental law of the country. Vice president B.J.Habibie then succeeded president Soeharto after he was forced to resign under pressure of the financial crisis. A series of constitutional reforms have been taken since in an attempt to solve the problems created during the authoritarian reign of president Soeharto, and to create a more democratic Indonesia. Through the review of literature, this thesis reviewed the process and outcomes of the four constitutional amendments since president Soeharto’s resignation, which includes the reform of the president’s power and term, limitation of the military’s involvement in social and political issues, judicial reforms, and the structural as well as functional reform of the parliament. This thesis analyzed the impact of the four amendments on the democratization of Indonesia, the governmental system, and state reforms, with further analysis of the needs for future constitutional amendments and democratization. |
