“Dimensi Internasional Pembunuhan Massa di Indonesia, 1965-1966,” (The International Dimensions of the Mass Killings in Indonesia, 1965-1966) in Bernd Schafer, Ed., Indonesia and the World in 1965/1966 (Goethe Institut and Gramedia: Jakarta, 2012). (original) (raw)

This paper explores the international dimensions of the mass killings in Indonesia between 1965 and 1966, emphasizing the role of external political dynamics and covert support from Western nations, particularly the United States and the United Kingdom. It argues that these killings were not mere internal conflicts but were influenced by global Cold War strategies, with the intent of overthrowing President Sukarno and establishing a military-led regime in alignment with Western economic and political interests.
