Economists with Guns -- Conclusion -- Abbreviations -- Notes -- Works Cited -- Index Offering the first comprehensive history of U.S relations with Indonesia during the 1960s, Economists with Guns explores one of the central dynamics of international politics during the Cold War: the emergence and U.S. embrace of authoritarian regimes pledged to programs of military-led development. Drawing on newly declassified archival material, Simpson examines how Americans and Indonesians imagined the country's development in the 1950s and why they abandoned their democratic hopes in the 1960s in favor of Suharto's military regime. Far from viewing development as a path to democracy, this book highlights the evolving commitment of Americans and Indonesians to authoritarianism in the 1960s on.AuthoritarianismIndonesiaHistory20th centuryUnited StatesForeign relationsIndonesiaIndonesiaForeign relationsUnited StatesIndonesiaPolitics and government1966-1998IndonesiaPolitics and government1950-1966United StatesForeign relations1945-1989AuthoritarianismHistory327.73059809/046Simpson Bradley R., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1236266DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910154724603321Economists with Guns2870750UNINA
