Abstract
In the Indonesian case, involving contention before the Security Council between Asian nationalism and a western democracy, the UN was a significant influence in a process of political change. The Netherlands, having resorted with apparent success to the use of force, finally agreed to withdraw from Indonesia. Despite the fighting, this case illustrates the perennial problem of peaceful change—how is legitimacy transferred? What non-military pressures and inducements are required to bring about the renunciation of a position which is legally and militarily defensible?Keywords
