Indonesia 1979: The Record of Three Decades,

Abstract

Looking beyond the major international issue of the moment, namely whether Vietnam can be integrated into the peaceful regional development of Southeast Asia, Indonesia and the other members of ASEAN face a number of international problems at the beginning of the 1980s: they must avoid involvement in the second cold war, that between China and the Soviet Union; and in the resurgence of the old Soviet-American confrontation; they must secure from the advanced countries of the OECD group economic concessions that would allow them to achieve sustained economic growth; they must protect their share of foreign economic aid and investments as China becomes a major claimant to the same pool of available capital; they must provide for their internal and external security without diverting an excessive amount of their scarce resources to defense expenditures. Judging from the record of the past year, these difficult challenges are being handled skillfully.
