Argues that this can be best understood in terms of the efforts made by the military based "new order" government to sustain political legitimacy. To counter domestic challenges great emphasis was placed on the claim to be the guardian of the state against communist threats.

Normalisation of relations strengthened the President's position and somewhat reduced that of ABRI.
