Using a historical sociology approach, this book illustrates the
formation of the technological state in Indonesia during the New
Order period (1966-1998). It explores the nexus between power, high
technology, development, and authoritarianism situated in the
Southeast Asian context. The book discusses how the New Order
regime shifted from the developmental state to the technological
state, which was characterized by desire for technological
supremacy. The process resulted in the establishment of a host of
technological institutions and the undertaking of large-scale
high-tech programs. Shedding light on the political dimension of
socio-technological transformation, this book looks at the
relationship between authoritarian politics and high technology
development, and examines how effectively technology serves to
sustain legitimacy of an authoritarian power. It explores into
multiple features of the Indonesian technological state, covering
the ideology of development, the politics of technocracy, the
institutional structure, and the material and symbolic embodiments
of high technology, and goes on to discuss the impact of
globalization on the technological state. The book is an important
contribution to studies on Southeast Asian Politics, Development,
and Science, Technology, and Society (STS).
