Abstract

The article "Southeast Asia's Other Cold Warrior" explores Indonesia's active role in the Cold War under General Suharto's New Order regime from 1966 to 1998. It highlights Indonesia's regional Cold War efforts, including mass violence against communists and the establishment of an authoritarian regime. The article emphasizes Indonesia's agency as a key player in shaping the Cold War narrative in Southeast Asia, challenging traditional views of the country as a passive participant. The author, Mattias Fibiger, draws on previously inaccessible Indonesian National Archives to provide a fresh perspective on Indonesia's Cold War history. [Extracted from the article]
