-The politics of Indonesia takes place in a framework of a
presidential representative democratic republic

government, and of a multi-party system.
-Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two
People's Representative Councils. The Judiciary is independent of the
executive and the legislature.
-The President of Indonesia is directly-elected for five-year terms,
and is the head of state, commander-in-chief of Indonesian armed
forces and responsible for domestic governance and policy-making
and foreign affairs. The president appoints a cabinet, who don't have
to be elected members of the legislature.

12. Economy
Indonesia has a market-based economy in which the government
plays a significant role. It owns more than 164 state-owned enterprises
and administers prices on several basic goods, including fuel, rice, and
electricity. In the aftermath of the financial and economic crisis that
began in mid-1997, the government took custody of a significant
portion
of private sector assets through acquisition of nonperforming bank
loans and corporate assets through the debt restructuring process.
the presence of US banks, manufacturers, and service providers
expanded, especially after the industrial and financial sector reforms of
the 1980s.
The economic crisis made continued private financing imperative but
problematic. New foreign investment approvals fell by almost two-thirds
between 1997 and 1999.

13. Foreign relations
During the regime of president Suharto, Indonesia built
strong relations with the United States and had difficult
relations with the People's Republic of China owing to
Indonesia's anti-communist policies and domestic tensions with the
Chinese community.
Indonesia is a founding member of the Association of
South East Asian Nations. Since the 1980s, Indonesia has
worked to develop close political and economic ties
between South East Asian nations, and is also influential in
the Organization of the Islamic Conference.
