Purpose: Universally the idea of a good citizen becomes an ideal sought after by every nation through its national education policies. The profile of a good citizen is largely determined by the perspective of each country's government. This article examines the dynamics of developing the profile of a good citizen in Indonesia during President Suharto's administration (New Order regime) up to the reform era. Method: A comparative study was conducted on several civic education policy documents displayed under various school curriculum nomenclatures during both periods. These documents included the regulations, and curricula civic education. Results: The study's findings indicate that in both governmental periods, the profile of a good citizen was based on national values derived from Pancasila (the five principles: belief in God, humanity, unity/nationalism, democracy, and justice). The difference lies in how, during the New Order, the profile of a citizen was portrayed as an Indonesian who supported the development rhetoric to achieve national objectives. The authoritarian political system of the New Order considered harmony as a primary value across various dimensions. In the reform era, the aspiration for democratization, as a solution to the multidimensional crisis of the New Order government, was reflected in various curricular nomenclatures such as Civic Education (2006 Curriculum), Pancasila and Civic Education (2013 Curriculum), and Pancasila Education (Independent Curriculum, 2022). Conclusion: This article concluded two aspects. Firstly, although both aimed to establish efforts to shape the profile of good citizens, they were top-down in nature. This means that the state, through government policies of each period, held the authority and primary right to determine how and what constitutes a good citizen. Secondly, the political atmosphere of each regime era shaped various citizen profiles aligned with their respective national political interests. During the New Order era, the regimentation of Pancasila as the character of a good citizen was institutionalized through the P4 policy. In the reform period, the democratic atmosphere that became the political norm post-authoritarianism has not fully reflected the profile of good citizens with a democratic spirit rooted in Indonesian identity.
