Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
This paper aims to analyze the history of the development of the political interpretation of Pancasila under Suharto's authoritarian rule between 1966 and 1998. The research questions are: 1) how did Pancasila become the ideological basis for authoritarian power? 2) How did Pancasila become the basis for pseudo-democracy during the Suharto government? This research was carried out using historical methods, relying on data from archives and newspapers from 1966 to 1998. Analysis of this research data used Historical Discourses Analysis (HDA). The findings show that Pancasila, at the beginning of the Suharto government, was trying to be cleansed of the influence of Sukarno and communism. In this period, Pancasila was reinterpreted. The success of the Suharto government in reinterpreting Pancasila was due to de-sukarnoization efforts and strict control over elements of society. In subsequent developments, Pancasila became the label and slogan in every government policy, the most famous of which was 'Pancasila Democracy', a system designed to show that the Suharto government was the savior and protector of Pancasila, which can be considered a pseudo-democracy. This democratic system does not prioritize freedom of expression and political autonomy of society. Research regarding the political interpretation of Pancasila will continue to be carried out to analyze the extent to which this idea can continue to be relevant in application in Indonesia. © 2024, Universitas Negeri Semarang.
