Abstract

Indonesia's Pres ident Suharto has accented Pancasila, state ideology, as a sustaining and supportive force of harmony and cyclical time. The five principles of Pancasila are elaborated through education and nation-building programs and expanded in the daily lives of the Indonesian people. Westerners, striving for consonance and productive work relationships and results, can utilize Pancasila as a guideline. The effectiveness of Pancasila sterns from its reflection of indigenous values, making it the main contemporary factor in maintaining both the unity and diversity in Indonesia.
