尽管印度尼西亚在二十一世纪初取得了令人瞩目的增长，但在后殖民时代的经济表现仍落后于其邻国马来西亚和新加坡。所选择的不同发展道路，特别是在对待外国（尤其是前殖民地）投资方面，是其中的核心——印度尼西亚在 20 世纪 50 年代和 1960 年代拒绝西方资本，并在 1970 年代继续怀疑外国经济影响力，这与马来西亚和新加坡更为开放的做法形成鲜明对比。如何处理后殖民时期的外国存在很大程度上取决于如何解决非殖民化问题——印度尼西亚和荷兰之间达成的限制性协议，以及荷兰对伊里安查亚的持续占领，都是广泛怨恨的根源，与英国对马来西亚和新加坡独立采取的更为自由的态度有很大不同。因此，非殖民化的短期解决方案在决定后殖民经济格局方面比殖民统治的长期性质具有更重要的意义。
Despite impressive growth in the early twenty-first century, Indonesia’s economic performance in the post-colonial era lagged behind that of its neighbours in Malaysia and Singapore. The different development paths chosen, particularly in the treatment of foreign (and, especially, ex-colonial) investment, were central to this—Indonesia’s rejection of Western capital in the 1950s and 1960s, and continued suspicion of foreign economic influence in the 1970s, contrasted with the more open approach of Malaysia and Singapore. How the post-colonial foreign presence was dealt with was largely conditioned by how decolonization was settled—the restrictive agreements reached between Indonesia and the Netherlands, and ongoing Dutch occupation of Irian Jaya, were sources of widespread resentment, and differed significantly from the more liberal approach of the British towards Malaysian and Singaporean independence. The short-term settlement of decolonization was therefore of greater significance than the longer-term nature of colonial rule in determining post-colonial economic patterns.
