Given the limited space, I apologise that these acknowledgements thus have to remain somewhat incomplete. I trust that those whose names should, but do not, ap- pear here know that I am aware of and grateful for the roles they played for me and for this thesis. However, a few persons cannot remain unstated. Most of all, I owe my deepest thanks to my supervisor Vedi Hadiz. Without him, I would not have begun work on this topic and in- deed, may have even given up along the way. His patience and knowledgeable guidance, as well as his sharp mind and motivation helped me through many crises and phases of despair. I am thankful, as well, for the advice and help of Mary Heidhues, Anthony Reid, Noorman Ab- dullah, and Kelvin Low, who provided invaluable feedback on early drafts. During my fieldwork in Indonesia, I was able to work as a Research Fellow at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Jakarta thanks to the kind support of its direc- tor, Hadi Soesastro.

In view of this sort of criticism, one might reasonably expect a plethora of economie studies of this region by Japanese scholars. So f ar as academie work is concerned, however, one will be surprised at the relative paucity of economie studies, both when one considers the close economie relations between the two countries and when one compares this with other fields of study, such as politics, history in general, and cultural and social studies. The same applies to Indónesia itself. There may be several reasons for this. Among other things, Japanese students of economics proper are not, generally speaking, especially interested in Southeast Asian countries like Indónesia. Differently from, for instance, Australia, where one finds a sizable group of economists specialized on Indónesia, in Japan such economists are scarce. Nevertheless, a large number of studies of the Indonesian economy must have been made by Japanese scholars in connection with Japanese economie aid and investments by Japanese companies. However, such reports and studies have rarely been published or publicized. Since it is almost impossible to tracé these economie studies, we will exclude them from the present survey.

  • F Re E P O Rt and the Suharto Regime, 1 965–1 9
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Fre e p o r t and the Suharto Regime, provided by ScholarSpace at University of Hawai'i at Manoa 19 65–19 9 8 Denise Leith In functioning democratic economies a structural balance must be found between state and capital. In Suharto’s autocratic state, however, a third variable upset this equation: patronage. By using access to resources and business as the major lubricant of his patronage style of leadership Suharto actively encouraged the involvement of all powerful groups within the ec o n o m y . Eventually, the military, politicians, and the bureaucracy became intimately involved in the most lucrative business ventures to the point that to be successful in Indonesian business one required an influential partner in at least one of these institutional groups, preferably with direct access to Suharto. When Freeport began negotiations with the new military regime in Jakarta in 1967 to mine the copper in West Papua, the American transna- tional with the valuable political connections was the more powerful of the negotiating parties, enabling it to dictate the terms of its contract. As Suharto’s political confidence grew and as the American company’s finan- cial investment in the province increased—and by association its vulner- ability—the balance of power shifted in Jakarta’s favor. Eventually Free- port became another lucrative source of patronage for the president. E a r ly Histo ry of Fr e e p o rt in West Pa p ua In 1936, while on an expedition to the center

The problem of this research is that the Indonesian state is equipped with abundant natural resources, including oil and natural gas resources.

  • Bab Iv Penyajian Dan Analisis Data
    BAB IV PENYAJIAN DAN ANALISIS DATA 4.1 Penyajian Data 4.1.1 Sejarah Perminyakan di Indonesia Perminyakan di Indonesia terbagi dalam tiga jaman yaitu masa penjajahan Hindia Belanda, masa pendudukan Jepang dan masa Indonesiamerdeka. Dari ketiga jaman tersebut untuk penjelasanya adalah sebagai berikut: 1. Jaman Penjajahan Hindia Belanda Sejarah perminyakan di Indonesia dimulai pada abad VIII dimana pada saat itu penduduk yang tinggal di sekitar Selat Sumatera telah menggunakan minyak bumi yang digunakan sebagai bahan bakar untuk pertempuran laut. Pada tahun 1871 pengeboran minyak bumi pertama kali di Indonesia dilakukan oleh Jan Roerink dan Yan Hoeyel di Gunung Cermai, Cirebon tapi mereka tidak mendapatkan hasil yang diharapkan. Kemudian pada tahun 1833, Aj Zijlker, seorang pengusaha perkebunan berkebangsaan Belanda, melakukan pengeboran minyak bumi di Telaga Tiga, Pangkalan Brandan dan hasil pengeboran minyak bumi ini tidak mempunyai nilai ekonomis. Dalam usahanya menemukan lahan minyak di Indonesia akhirnya pada tanggal 15 Juni 1885 Zijlker menemukan ladang minyak yang mempunyai nilai produksi komersial yaitu pada Sumur Telaga SaidSumatera Utara, oleh karena itu tanggal 15 Juni di tetapkan sebagai hari industri perminyakan Indonesia. 33 34 Pada tahun 1912 perusahaan Amerika “TANDARD” memasuki Hindia Belanda yang mempunyai daerah operasi (kekuasaan) didaerah lapangan Talang Akar Pendopo, Sumatera Selatan. BPM sebagai grup minyak Belanda dan Inggris melakukan kerjasama dengan pemerintah Hindia Belanda dengan pembagian saham 50:50 dalam perusahaan NIAM (Nederlandsche Aarbolie Maatcappij) yang mengusahakan minyak di Jambi, Pulau Bunyu, Kalimantan Timur pada tahun 1930 perusahaan Standard California membuka cabang di Hindia Belanda dengan nama NPPM (Nederlandsche Pasific Petroleum Mij) dan setelah Standard California bekerja sama dengan Texas Company maka NPPM dilebur menjadi milik kedua perusahaan dengan nama CALTEX (California Texas Company) yang mendapat konsensi didaerah sepanjang pantai Sumatera Tengah.

    Imagining an Islamic State in Indonesia: From Darul Islam TO JEMAAH ISLAMIYAH Sometime in September 1962, S. M. Kartosoewirjo,* 1 the leader of a once formidable insurgency that had proclaimed an Islamic State of Indonesia (Negara Islam Indonesia, Nil), was executed by a firing squad of the Indonesian Republic. This act has been recorded as the beginning of the end of the Islamic State and its so-called Darul Islam (Abode of Islam) rebellion.2 Forty years later, however, a young man called Iqbal wrote the following before he blew himself up along with hundreds of others at the Sari Club in Bali on October 12, 2002: Today I say: that I am a child of DI/NII [Darul Islam/Negara Islam Indonesia] who is ready to sacrifice myself for Islam. Remember, o mujahideen of Malingping,3 how our imam, S. M. Kartosuwirjo, built and upheld and proclaimed the independence of the Islamic State of Indonesia with the blood and lives of martyrs, not by relaxing and fooling around the way we do today. If you are serious about seeing the glory of the buried Islamic State of Indonesia rise My thanks to Greg Fealy, Sidney Jones, Kit Collier, Ken Ward, Solahudin, Ed Aspinall, Robert Cribb, Ahmad Muhajir, Martin van Bruinessen, David Jenkins, Marcus Mietzner, Jajat Burhanudin, and Sita Dewi 11 have spelled Indonesian names in accordance with the preference of the individual concerned except for direct quotations from published sources, in which the original has been preserved. 2 See, for example, B.

  • The Indonesian Economy During the Soeharto Era: a Review
    THE INDONESIAN ECONOMY DURING THE SOEHARTO ERA: A REVIEW Peter McCawley Arndt-Corden Department of Economics, College of Asia and the Pacific. Australian National University ABSTRACT At the beginning of the 1970s it was easy to believe that the road ahead for Indonesia was difficult. But as the decade unfolded, the changes across the Indonesian economy, and the sustained growth, surpassed all expectations. Numerous dramatic events seized Indonesian and international attention during the 1970s including corruption issues, the 1972 rice crisis, the Malari riots of early 1974, and the impact of the first oil boom including the Pertamina crisis. Anne Booth and I reviewed these developments in our edited collection of articles on The Indonesian economy during the Soeharto era. Looking back, our edited volume captured the excitement of the 1970s and, perhaps, was rather too cautious in looking towards the further gains that changes in the next few decades would bring to Indonesia. Keywords: Indonesian economy, Soeharto era, Crisis INTRODUCTION Over three decades ago Anne Booth and I cooperated to edit The Indonesian Economy during the Soeharto Era. The collection (Booth and McCawley 1981) was one of the first major surveys of economic developments in Indonesia during the early part of the Orde Baru period. We prepared our edited collection at the end of the 1970s, a decade during which Indonesia experienced both turbulent economic times and much economic progress. As a contribution to recognizing the remarkable contribution that colleague Anne Booth has made towards the study of both the Indonesian economy and global Masyarakat Indonesia, Volume 39, No.

  • Chineseness Is in the Eye of the Beholder
    CHINESENESS IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: THE TRANSFORMATION OF CHINESE INDONESIAN AFTER REFORMASI A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Setefanus Suprajitno August 2013 © 2013 Setefanus Suprajitno CHINESENESS IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: THE TRANSFORMATION OF CHINESE INDONESIAN AFTER REFORMASI Setefanus Suprajitno, Ph.D. Cornell University 2013 My dissertation is an ethnographic project documenting the transformation of Chinese Indonesians post-Suharto Indonesia. When Suharto was in power (1966–1998), the Chinese in his country were not considered an ethnicity with the freedom to maintain their ethnic and cultural heritage. They were marked as “the Other” by various policies and measures that suppressed their cultural markers of ethnicity. The regime banned Chinese language education, prohibited Chinese media, and dissolved Chinese organizations, an effort that many Chinese thought of as destroying the Chinese community in Indonesia as they were seen as the three pillars that sustained the Chinese community. Those efforts were intended to make the Chinese more Indonesian; ironically, they highlighted the otherness of Chinese Indonesians and made them perpetual foreigners who remained the object of discrimination despite their total assimilation into Indonesian society. However, the May 1998 anti-Chinese riot that led to the fall of the New Order regime brought about political and social reform. The three pillars of the Chinese community were restored. This restoration produces new possibilities for Chinese cultural expression. Situated in this area of anthropological inquiry, my dissertation examines how the Chinese negotiate and formulate these identities, and how they ascribe meaning to Chinese identities.

  • Backlash Against Foreign Investment Regime: Indonesia’S Experience
    Backlash against Foreign Investment Regime: Indonesia’s Experience Herliana A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Dongsheng Zang, Chair John O. Haley Melissa Durkee Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Law ©Copyright 2017 Herliana ii University of Washington Abstract Backlash against Foreign Investment Regime: Indonesia’s Experience Herliana Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Dongsheng Zang School of Law This study investigates Indonesia’s changing attitude from embracing to repudiating foreign direct investments. Opened its door for foreign investment in the late of 1960s and enjoyed significant economic growth as the result, the country suddenly changed its foreign investment policy in 2012 to be more protectionist towards domestic investors and skeptical towards foreign investors. The essential issues to be discussed in this research are: what motivates Indonesia to move away from global investment regime; what actions the country has taken as manifestation of resentment against the regime; and who are the actors behind such a backlash. This is a qualitative study which aims at gaining a deep understanding of a legal development of Indonesia’s foreign investment. It aims to provide explanation of the current phenomenon taking place in the country. Data were collected through interviews and documents. This research reveals that liberalization of foreign investment law has become the major cause of resentment towards the foreign investment. Liberalization which requires privatization and openness toward foreign capital has failed to deliver welfare to the Indonesian people. Instead, foreign investors have pushed local business players, especially small and medium enterprises, out of the market.
