Abstract
A democratic national system involves a process by which national leadership is recruited. National leadership has significant authority over the formulation of governmental policies, including those concerned with sports development. Current and historical Indonesian sports policy development illustrates and enables the evaluation of how the democratic process generates national leadership. Indonesian leadership history is divided into the three following orders: (1) The Old Order (1945–1967) (led by President Soekarno), (2) the New Order (1967–1998) (led by President Soeharto), and (3) the Reform Order (1998–present) (led by five presidents, as follows: Habibie, Gus Dur, Megawati, SBY, and Joko Widodo). An assessment of relevant historical facts indicates that the government plays a perennial and strategic role in sports policy development. This study performed an analysis of Indonesian sports legislation and determined that the government supports increased control over local decision-making.
