Thomas Lindblad and Thee Kian Wie Masyarakat Indonesia, Volume 39, No. 2, Desember 2013 | v 00-MI-39,-No 2-2013.indd 5 02/06/2014 15:42:15 00-MI-39,-No 2-2013.indd 6 02/06/2014 15:42:15 FOREWORD by Deputy Chairman for Social Sciences and Humanities Indonesian Institute of Sciences (IPSK - LIPI) This edition of Jurnal Masyarakat Indonesia pays a tribute to Professor Anne Booth of the Department of Economics, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, who retired by the end of 2013. Professor Anne Booth is an eminent scholar specialized in the economy and history of the Southeast Asian nations, with particular reference to Indonesia. Her book, ‘The Indonesian Economy in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries (1998), published during the period of Asian Financial Crisis, became an invaluable source of reference for other scholars interested in the economic and social history of Indonesia. Professor Anne Booth is also known for her monograph Agricultural Development in Indonesia (1988). She published two influential edited volumes: A. Booth, W.J. O’Malley and A. Weidemann (eds), Indonesian Economic History in the Dutch Colonial Era, (1990), which is widely regarded as the first survey of modern economic history of Indonesia, and A. Booth (ed.) The Oil Boom and After; Indonesian Economic Policy and Performance in the Soeharto Era (1992). In addition, her works span for more than four decades in which she has written a long list of influential contributions in journals and edited volumes. Professor Anne Booth has consistently applied systematic quantitative macroeconomic analysis in combination with a more qualitative evaluation of government policy and economic theory in all her works. She gives careful attention to a balanced analysis of the colonial and the independent eras of Indonesian history, to draw parallels and make comparisons. By doing this, she is able to visualize a long-term view on economic development, an approach Masyarakat Indonesia, Volume 39, No. 2, Desember 2013 | vii 00-MI-39,-No 2-2013.indd 7 02/06/2014 15:42:15 viii | Masyarakat Indonesia, Volume 39, No. 2, Desember 2013 which has often been overlooked by economists and historians of a younger generation. By way of tribute, it seems appropriate to reflect on and update some work of the Indonesian specialists and scholars which links to Anne Booth’s previous works. This tribute has been prepared by two of Professor Anne Booth good friends, Dr. J. Thomas Linblad and Dr. Thee KianWie, who have been diligently contacting paper contributors, and vigorously reviewing the manuscripts. The group of contributors to this volume is distinguished in one way or another by close association with Professor Anne Booth, and this collection of their works is dedicated to her on the occasion of her retirement. It is an honor for the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) to celebrate the contributions of Professor Anne Booth to the advancement of knowledge and understanding about the Asian development, in particular the Indonesian economic and social development. I congratulate Professor Anne Booth for her long time contributions and achievements. And, on behalf of LIPI I would like to wish you all the best for your retirement!

Thomas Lindblad and Siwage Dharma Negara Leiden University and Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) This special issue of Masyarakat Indonesia was jointly prepared by Thee Kian Wie and Thomas Lindblad. It is singularly sad that Thee Kian Wie did not live to see this publication appearing in print. Pak Thee, as he was affectionately called by his many colleagues and friends, passed away after a brief illness on Saturday 8 February 2014, aged 78. Thee Kian Wie was born in Jakarta on 20 April 1935. He was a student of economics at the newly founded Fakultas Ekonomi of the Universitas Indonesia in the 1950s, graduating with a Doctorandus degree in 1959. Right after graduating from the University of Indonesia, he started his professional career as an Administrative Officer, at the Indonesian Council for the Sciences (Majelis Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia or MIPI), which was a predecessor of LIPI. In 1962, he became a researcher at LEKNAS-LIPI. In 1976, Thee Kian Wie was promoted as a Senior Research Associate (Ahli Peneliti Utama). For more than half a century, he remained attached to LIPI, even after his retirement in 2000, coming to his office at Jalan Gatot Subroto 10 in Jakarta daily almost up to the very end of his life. He was remembered as the longest serving researcher at LIPI. He did a Master in economics at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, USA, where he in 1969 obtained his PhD with a dissertation entitled Plantation Agriculture and Export Growth; An Economic History of East Sumatra, 1863-1942 (Jakarta 1977). He served as an assistant director of LEKNAS-LIPI between 1974 and 1978 and as head of the Proyek Penelitian Perspektif Perekonomian Indonesia during the years 1975-1978, a study initiated and supervised by the late Professor Sumitro Djojohadikusumo, Minister of State for Research. When LIPI was re-organized in 1986, Thee Kian Wie became the first Head of Centre for Economic and Development Studies (PEP-LIPI). He served as the head of PEP LIPI from June 1986 until Masyarakat Indonesia, Volume 39, No. 2, Desember 2013 | ix 00-MI-39,-No 2-2013.indd 9 02/06/2014 15:42:15 x | Masyarakat Indonesia, Volume 39, No. 2, Desember 2013 July 1990, during which period he was able to send several young researchers to continue their postgraduate degree in the UK and Australia. Pak Thee resigned as the head of PEP LIPI in late June 1990 to accept a position as Visiting Fellow at the ANU’s Indonesia Project. He was, amongst others, a guest professor at the Universitas Sriwijaya in Palembang, a frequent visiting scholar at the Australian National University in Canberra (1982/83, 1990/91, 1997, and 2007), a visiting fellow at the Netherlands Institute of Advanced Study in Wassenaar (1994/95) as well as a short-term visiting scholar with the International Centre for the Study of East Asian Development (ICSEAD) in Kitakyushu (2001).

  • 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.

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

Introduction 2. Indonesian Universities: The Context An Overview International Lessons and Regional Experiences The Current Situation Performance Indicators Inside Universities: governance and incentives 3. Major Contemporary Policy Issues University Autonomy and the BHP Case Incentives for Academic Quality Accreditation and Quality Control The Challenge of Equity 1. Introduction A very large system undergoing rapid change and transformation. HEI’s: from 2,000 students (1945) to 5.2 million at present. Essentially a creation of the second half of the 20th century; much of the growth since the 1970s. Historical legacy: a laggard compared to much of Asia. Very rapid growth, driven by: • Supply-side: large cohorts, graduating from primary and secondary schools. • Demand-side: rapidly rising incomes, crossing a threshold. • A more ‘credentialed’ labour market, eg, for teachers, pegawai negeri. • Some deregulation of the private sector. 1. Introduction (cont) Very large quality variations: from 5-7 ‘elite’ universities, to rudimentary ‘colleges’. Private sector and funding the main source of growth. Contested philosophies: • Markets v/s regulation • Egalitarian ideals v/s unequal outcomes • A hesitant embrace of globalization. Main focus of this presentation: the university sector.

Many will be impressed by the grandeur of this large neo-renaissance building that was completed in 1889. Few, however, will pay much attention to the peculiar sculptural works embellished in the façades. Upon closer inspection, one can see a muscular, barely dressed, humble-looking Javanese man (recognizable by his typical Javanese headscarf) greeting a bearded European-looking man.
