Book Description
Excerpt from The Agricultural Economy of Indonesia The Japanese invasion of Indonesia m 1942 brought to an abrupt end more than 300 years of Dutch hegemony in these East Indian islands. Under Dutch rule the Netherlands East Indies had been one of the most profitably and efficiently run colonies in Asia. They are said to have contributed annually one-sixth of the Dutch national income. Because of their financial dependence on the Indies the Dutch concentrated on economic penetration of the islands and exercised comparatively little cultural influence. A paternalistic administration deliberately sought to preserve the traditional structure of Indonesian society as a barrier against the spread of nationalistic aspirations among the people. Politi cal parties, trade unions, free press, and liberal education were tolerated only to a minor degree. Individuals and organizations that openly espoused the cause of Indonesian nationalism were repressed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Agriculture in Indonesia Indonesia has two distinct agricultural sectors-the estate sector, using advanced capital-intensive techniques, and the smallholder sector, using traditional labor intensive methods. Before World War II, the estate sector was the main producer of agricultural export crops, but by 1965 it was contributing only one-quarter of all foreign exchange earnings. The estate sector was hard hit by the Second World War and the revolution which followed. Since the nationalization of the estate industries, which began in 1957, export earnings from the estate sector have declined still furth er-a result of the loss of technical and managerial personnel as well as of investment capital. Meanwhile the smallholder's share of agricultural exports (mainly rubber) has been steadily rising and has reached well over 60 percent. Java and Madura support more than two-thirds of Indonesia's population on less than one-tenth of its land, and grow mainly subsistence food crops such as rice, corn, and cassava. Farming plots on Java and Madura are very small, and it is estimated that 60 percent of the small farmers are share croppers. Implementation of legislation for land reform has met with many obstacles. The intensive cultivation of Java and Madura (mainly wet-rice) contrasts sharply with that of the Outer Islands, where the soil is not as rich and shifting-field agriculture occupies much of the arable land. Although some estates are on Java, most of the great plantation industries are located on Sumatra. Rice growing occupies more than one-third of Indonesia's total area in crops. In 1965, rice production, estimated at 14 million metric tons, was up almost 7 percent over the previous year, and the outlook for 1966 was even higher. However, the Government has recently had severe difficulties in procuring sufficient rice for the vast rice distribution program to which it is committed, particularly for military and civil service personnel living in the cities. As a result of this as well as the rapidly increasing population (at least percent annually), rice imports rose by about 52 percent between the periods 1955-59 and 1960-64, and by 1964 were exceeding 1 million tons annually. Although rice imports fell sharply in 1965 as a result of President Sukarno's rejection of trade and aid from the West, they were expected to recover somewhat in 1966. Thailand and Burma usually have led as sources of rice, and during the past 10 years, the United States, as a result of p.l. 480 shipments-espe cially of rice but also dried skim milk, wheat flour, and tobacco-has also become a leading supplier.

Book Description
An 'Indonesian economy' first took shape in the latter part of the nineteenth century, consisting of a dominant export industry supported by a rural agrarian sphere. The agricultural sector provided food and labour to the export sector, which was firmly embedded in the world economy. This economic pattern survived several shifts of the leading export industry and persisted even after Indonesia became independent in the mid-20th century. Hiroyoshi Kano uses international trade statistics to analyze three key elements in the Indonesian economy: the balance of international payments and trade, the transformation undergone by leading export industries, and the way in which the agricultural sector supplied land, labour and food. Dividing the 150-year time span covered by the book into four periods based on the prevailing major export industries, he identifies key actors and analyzes long-term changes in agricultural production and rural society, and how they shaped the national economy

Book Description
This book brings together thirteen of the most significant essays on the Indonesian economy. Included are articles by twelve leading authorities on economic policies, agriculture, population and manpower, industry, money, and finance. Many of these widely scattered articles are relatively inaccessible in their original form, and two have not been published previously. While these articles give the historical record of economic performance and policy since Indonesia achieved independence in 1949, they also convey the sectoral and institutional structure of the economic system. An extensive introduction and brief headnotes for each section have been provided by the editor. BRUCE GLASSBURNER, formerly Professor of Economics at the University of California, Davis, received his BS and MS degrees from Iowa State College and his PhD degree from the University of California, Berkeley. He was Chairman, Department of Economics, University of California, Davis for eight years. In 1968-1970, he served as Chairman, Field Staff, University of California Indonesia Project, and was Associate Director, University of California Study Center, Hong Kong, in 1969-1971. He is the author of many published articles in the area of economic development.

Book Description
Drawing upon current theoretical debates in social anthropology, development studies and political ecology, and presenting original research from across the Archipelago, this book addresses the changing histories and identities of upland people as they relate in new ways to the natural resource base, to markets and to the state. It is an engaged study, which fills important analytical gaps and addresses real-world concerns, exploring the uplands as components of national and global systems of meaning, power, and production. It offers a significant re-assessment of concepts, processes, histories, relationships and discourses, many of which are not unique to either the uplands or Indonesia, making the book essential and compelling reading for both scholars and practitioners.
