  • The Political Economy of Food Insecurity in East Asia
    Rice, politics and power: the political economy of food insecurity in East Asia Paul Belesky Master of International Studies (International Relations) The University of Queensland A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Queensland, 2016 School of Political Science and International Studies School of Social Science Abstract This thesis has three main objectives: (1) to provide a critical political economy study of the complex interplay between rice, politics and power in East Asia; (2) to make a contribution to understanding the evolution of the regional and global food system through an historically-contextualised exploration of the political economy of rice in the East Asian region; and (3) to make a contribution towards an alternative analytical framework for the political economy of food insecurity in the region. This study focuses on the agricultural commodity of rice as a prism through which to examine and explore the complex and multidimensional nature of food insecurity in the region, with rice providing a lens through which to explore social relations and relations of power that underpin the political economy of food and agriculture. This study has identified a gap in literature in relation to a contemporary analysis of the political economy of rice, with a second gap appearing in relation to the evolution of the global food system from an East Asian perspective. This thesis aims to make a contribution towards addressing these gaps in literature. With these objectives in mind, this thesis responds

    © Lonely Planet 30 History As the countries we know today, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei have been around since 1963, 1965 and 1984 respectively. The region’s history, of course, stretches back much further, although pinning down exactly how far back is a moot point due to a lack of archaeological evidence and early written records. What is known for sure is that early civilisation here was shaped by the ebb and Key Malay words like flow of the convergent sea trade from China and India.

  • The Seafarers and Maritime Entrepreneurs of Madura
    THE SEAFARERS AND MARITIME ENTREPRENEURS OF MADURA History, culture, and their role in the Java Sea timber trade Kurt Stenross This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, at Murdoch University February 2007 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary educational institution. Kurt Stenross Copyright © 2007 by Kurt Stenross; all rights reserved i THE SEAFARERS AND MARITIME ENTREPRENEURS OF MADURA History, culture, and their role in the Java Sea timber trade Kurt Stenross With photographs and line illustrations by the author ii Abstract The seafaring people of Madura, situated off the northeastern coast of Java, are one of the leading maritime groups in the Indonesian archipelago. They have played a major role in indigenous shipping, and since the second half of the nineteenth century their importance in this field has been second only to that of the Bugis and Makassarese. With their strong maritime orientation and outward economy, the coastal Madurese contrast strongly with the agricultural orientation of their near neighbours, the Javanese and the Balinese. The first part of this thesis presents the Madurese in historical context vis-à-vis the Javanese and the maritime groups of Sulawesi. It then considers the various historical and cultural-ecological factors which predisposed the coastal Madurese toward seafaring as a livelihood, and which enabled them to eclipse their former rivals along the north coast of Java. The main seafaring centres of Madura during the twentieth century are identified, with these being in three distinct locations: the northwest coast, the southwest coast, and the eastern islands of Madura.
