Abstract
This chapter outlines the political and historical background of post-secondary education in Indonesia thus providing the setting for understanding and gauging the level of sovereignty in education. Indonesia has had a long history of colonialism. Thus, it is understandable that foreign involvement in Indonesia is perceived to have the potential to violate Indonesia’s sovereignty. This chapter discusses the development of Indonesian post-secondary education since the colonial era, a period during which the US has played a significantly evolutionary role.
