The Government
Indonesia is a unitary republic state with a presidential system. The President serves as the head of state, commander-in-chief of the Indonesian National Armed Forces as well as director of domestic governance, policy-making and foreign affairs. The President also appoints a council of ministers who are not required to be elected members of the legislature. The elected President may only serve two consecutive five-year terms.
The People’s Consultative Assembly or MPR is the highest representative body at national level and its main purposes are in supporting and amending the constitution, swearing in the president as well as formalizing the outlines of state policy. It retains the power to impeach the president in the post-Suharto regime. Within the MPR are two sects; the People’s Representative Council or DPR and the Regional Representative Council or DPD. The DPR has had an increased role in national governance since the 1998 reform and its duties involve passing legislation and monitoring the executive branch.
The DPD serves as a form of regional management.
