Suryadinata, Leo. Islam and Suharto's foreign policy: Indonesia, the Middle East, and Bosnia. Asian Survey v35, n3 (March, 1995):291 (13 pages). Type D 2 TEXT to see article text. Abstract: Suharto's foreign policy is not influenced by Islam, although Indonesia is a predominantly Islamic country. Indonesia's relations with Middle Eastern countries depend more on its national interests, as determined by Suharto and his officials, rather than its being an Islamic country. Islamic fundamentalism is discouraged through the imposition of a non-Islamic foreign policy. Essentially, Indonesians are more nationalistic than Islamic and they do not subscribe to political Islam.
