Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between civil servants and community in the New Order in Indonesia. Civil servants in Indonesia increased rapidly in numbers and political power after the 1970s to support the ruling political party Golkar.
On the other hand, civil servants pushed Pacasila as a national ideology. Consequently, Indonesia's civil servant came to manifest a particular habitus that mediated the observance of rules and regulations. Civil servants manifesting this particular habitus demonstrated their particular “administrative skills” through the neighborhood associations, RT/RW.
