Funded in part by the governments of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden via the Nordic Council of Ministers and in part directly by the Nordic scholarly community, NIAS works to encourage and support Asian Studies in the Nordic countries as well as actively partici- pating in the international scholarly community in its own right. In so doing, NIAS has published books since 1969 and in 2002 launched NIAS Press as an independent, not-for-profit publisher aiming at a premium reputation among authors and readers for relevant and focused, quality publishing in the field of Asian Studies. The Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS) was established as an autonomous organization in 1968. It is a regional centre dedicated to the study of socio-political, security and economic trends and developments in Southeast Asia and its wider geostrategic and economic environment. The Institute’s research programmes are Regional Economic Studies (RES, including ASEAN and APEC), Regional Strategic and Political Studies (RSPS), and Regional Social and Cultural Studies (RSCS). ISEAS Publications, an established academic press, has issued more than 1,000 books and journals. It is the largest scholarly publisher of re- search about Southeast Asia from within the region. ISEAS Publications works with many other academic and trade publishers and distributors to disseminate important research and analyses from and about Southeast Asia to the rest of the world.

Martinus Dwi Marianto July 1995 ABSTRACT Surrealist painting flourished in Yogyakarta around the middle of the 1980s to early 1990s. It became popular amongst art students in Yogyakarta, and formed a significant style of painting which generally is characterised by the use of casual juxtapositions of disparate ideas and subjects resulting in absurd, startling, and sometimes disturbing images. In this thesis, Yogyakartan Surrealism is seen as the expression in painting of various social, cultural, and economic developments taking place rapidly and simultaneously in Yogyakarta's urban landscape.

  • A Review of Thee Kian Wie's Major
    Economics and Finance in Indonesia Vol. 61 No. 1, 2015 : 41-52 p-ISSN 0126-155X; e-ISSN 2442-9260 41 The Indonesian Economy from the Colonial Extraction Period until the Post-New Order Period: A Review of Thee Kian Wie’s Major Works Maria Monica Wihardjaa,∗, Siwage Dharma Negarab,∗∗ aWorld Bank Office Jakarta bIndonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) Abstract This paper reviews some major works of Thee Kian Wie, one of Indonesia’s most distinguished economic historians, that spans from the Colonial period until the post-New Order period. His works emphasize that economic history can guide future economic policy. Current problems in Indonesia were resulted from past policy failures. Indonesia needs to consistently embark on open economic policies, free itself from "colonial period mentality". Investment should be made in rebuilding crumbling infrastructure, improving the quality of health and education services, and addressing poor law enforcement. If current corruption persists, Indone- sia could not hope to become a dynamic and prosperous country. Keywords: Economic History; Colonial Period; Industrialization; Thee Kian Wie Abstrak Tulisan ini menelaah beberapakarya besar Thee Kian Wie, salah satu sejarawan ekonomi paling terhormat di Indonesia, mulai dari periode penjajahan hingga periode pasca-Orde Baru. Karya Beliau menekankan bahwa sejarah ekonomi dapat memberikan arahan dalam perumusan kebijakan ekonomi mendatang. Permasalahan yang dihadapi Indonesia dewasa ini merupakan akibat kegagalan kebijakan masa lalu. In- donesia perlu secara konsisten menerapkan kebijakan ekonomi terbuka, membebaskan diri dari "mentalitas periode penjajahan". Investasi perlu ditingkatkan untuk pembangunan kembali infrastruktur, peningkatan kualitas layanan kesehatan dan pendidikan, serta pembenahan penegakan hukum. Jika korupsi saat ini berlanjut, Indonesia tidak dapat berharap untuk menjadi negara yang dinamis dan sejahtera.

    John Roosa. Pretext for Mass Murder: The September 30th Movement and Suharto's Coup d'Etat in Indonesia. Madison, WI: University of Wisconsin Press, 2006. 303 pages. Vannessa Hearman The fall of President Suharto in May 1998 renewed interest in the events surrounding the coup attempt of 1965 and the transfer of power from Sukarno. Debates have arisen around Indonesian history and, particularly, the mystery surrounding the coup attempt and its aftermath, in which half a million people were killed. The level of involvement of members of the Indonesian Communist Party (Partai Komunis Indonesia, PKI) in the coup attempt has been widely debated. John Roosa's book situates itself within the body of scholarly work that has examined this coup attempt and the extent of the PKI's role. This literature includes Anderson and McVey's "Cornell Paper" and the works of Harold Crouch and W. F. Wertheim, all of which are discussed in Roosa's book in terms of outlining some of the most influential and enduring theories.1 Some of the facts surrounding the coup have been established. On the night of September 30, 1965, one lieutenant and six army generals, including the army commander General Ahmad Yani, were seized from their homes in various parts of Jakarta and executed either there or in Lubang Buaya, on the outskirts of the city. The kidnappers dubbed themselves the "September 30th Movement," and their stated aim was to safeguard Sukarno from right-wing army officers rumored to have been planning a coup against him. In a broadcast on October 1, from the state radio station that they had seized, Movement activists named their leader as Lieutenant Colonel Untung, commander of the Cakrabirawa, the presidential palace guards.

  • Fifty Years of Indonesian Development: "One Nation," Under Capitalism
    Fifty Years of Indonesian Development: "One Nation," Under Capitalism ... by Brian McCormack Department of Political Science Arizona State University Tempe, Arizona 85287-2001 USA e-mail: [email protected] Cite: McCormack, Brian. (1999). "Fifty Years oflndoncsian Development: 'One Nation,' Under Capitalism ... " Journal of World-Systems Research http://jwsr.ucr.edu/ 5: 48-73. (cJ 1999 Brian McCormack. [Page 48] Journal o.lWorld-Systems Research In Indonesia much uncertainty remains in the wake of the dramatic changes that unfolded in the latter half of the l990's. By the end of the 20th century, the Indonesian economy was in ruins. The concept of democracy remained contested. The transportation and communication system that once at lea'lt minimall y linked the diverse and at times disparate area'l and peoples of the Indonesian archipelago into an Andcrsonian imagined national community collapsed, making more likely movcmcnt'l for regional autonomy, in turn, making the status of an Indonesian nation itself uncertain. One thing that is certain, however, is that Socharto, the "Father of Development," is history. As political and economic policy makers in Indonesia, the United States, and around the world, and more importantly, Indonesia's men, women, and children pick up the pieces, it is our responsibility to look back and consider the past fifty years. Indonesian development ha'l been marked by a struggle between two opposing forces: one that is commensurate with self-reliance predicated upon an ideology of nationalism, and another that positions Indonesia within global capitalism. The issue that I shall address here is the degree to which the strategies of development were determined by a culture of capitalism or, alternatively, by a culture of nationalism.
