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.

  • Widjojo's "Invisible Hand"
    Economics and Finance in Indonesia Vol. 59 (3), Page 233 - 241 Widjojo's "Invisible Hand" Emil Salim Widjojo Nitisastro revealed for the first time his political economic view, when he unnoticeably reached his 28th birthday in September 23, 1955. He delivered a strong criticism to Wilopo's presentation on "the Interpretation of Article 33 of the Indonesian Constitution" in a debate between former Prime Minister (1952-1953) Wilopo and graduate student Widjojo Nitisastro that took place in a Symposium of University of Indonesia to celebrate the First Lustrum of the Economic Faculty of University of Indonesia, and was focused on the topic of Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution, stipulating that "the economy is arranged as a joint endeavor based on the principles of family-like mutual cooperation." • 1. UNDERSTANDING WIDJOJO Wilopo has been an influential leader in the Indonesian Nationalist Party (PNI), who has won the 1955 general election. As one of the outstanding leaders of his party, he has been Minister of Labor (1949-1950), Minister of Economic Affairs (1950-1952) and Prime Minister (1952-1953). As a graduate from the Faculty of Law and Social Science during the Dutch colonial period, Wilopo was considered an "intellectual politician", who was open for rational criticism. Widjojo on the other hand has joint the Indonesian 1945 revolution as member of the "Indonesian Student Army" in the battle of Surabaya (1946). When the physical revolution was over (1949), Widjojo became one of the first students of the newly established Economic Faculty at the University of Indonesia (1950) in Jakarta. He was already recognized as a brilliant student and as young graduate student was chosen by the Dean of the Economic Faculty, Professor Sumitro Djojohadikusumo, to become not only his teaching assistant but also his trusted "deputy" to assist him in "running" the Economic Faculty when he was occupied by his duty as Minister of Trade and Industry (1950- 1951), Minister of Finance (1952-1953 and 1955-1956).

  • Indonesian Technocracy in Transition: a Preliminary Analysis*
    Indonesian Technocracy in Transition: A Preliminary Analysis* Shiraishi Takashi** Indonesia underwent enormous political and institutional changes in the wake of the 1997–98 economic crisis and the collapse of Soeharto’s authoritarian regime. Yet something curious happened under President Yudhoyono: a politics of economic growth has returned in post-crisis decentralized, democratic Indonesia. The politics of economic growth is politics that transforms political issues of redistribution into problems of output and attempts to neutralize social conflict in favor of a consensus on growth. Under Soeharto, this politics provided ideological legitimation to his authoritarian regime. The new politics of economic growth in post-Soeharto Indo- nesia works differently. Decentralized democracy created a new set of conditions for doing politics: social divisions along ethnic and religious lines are no longer suppressed but are contained locally. A new institutional framework was also cre- ated for the economic policy-making. The 1999 Central Bank Law guarantees the independence of the Bank Indonesia (BI) from the government. The Law on State Finance requires the government to keep the annual budget deficit below 3% of the GDP while also expanding the powers of the Ministry of Finance (MOF) at the expense of National Development Planning Agency. No longer insulated in a state of political demobilization as under Soeharto, Indonesian technocracy depends for its performance on who runs these institutions and the complex political processes that inform their decisions and operations. Keywords: Indonesia, technocrats, technocracy, decentralization, democratization, central bank, Ministry of Finance, National Development Planning Agency At a time when Indonesia is seen as a success story, with its economy growing at 5.9% on average in the post-global financial crisis years of 2009 to 2012 and performing better * I would like to thank Caroline Sy Hau for her insightful comments and suggestions for this article.

  • The State and Illegality in Indonesia in Illegality and State the the STATE and ILLEGALITY in INDONESIA
    Edited by Edward Aspinall and Gerry van Klinken The state and illegality in Indonesia THE STATE AND ILLEGALITY IN INDONESIA The popular 1998 reformasi movement that brought down President Suharto’s regime demanded an end to illegal practices by state offi cials, from human rights abuse to nepotistic investments. Yet today, such practices have proven more resistant to reform than people had hoped. Many have said corruption in Indonesia is “entrenched”. We argue it is precisely this entrenched character that requires attention. What is state illegality entrenched in and how does it become entrenched? This involves studying actual cases. Our observations led us to rethink fundamental ideas about the nature of the state in Indonesia, especially regarding its socially embedded character. We conclude that illegal practices by state offi cials are not just aberrations to the state, they are the state. Almost invariably, illegality occurs as part of collective, patterned, organized and collaborative acts, linked to the competition for political power and access to state resources. While obviously excluding many without connections, corrupt behaviour also plays integrative and stabilizing functions. Especially at the lower end of the social ladder, it gets a lot of things done and is often considered legitimate. This book may be read as a defence of area studies approaches. Without the insights that grew from applying our area studies skills, we would still be constrained by highly stylized notions of the state, which bear little resemblance to the state’s actual workings. The struggle against corruption is a long-term political process. Instead of trying to depoliticize it, we believe the key to progress is greater popular participation.

In Indonesia, for example, the range of activities of government functionaries, the pegawai negeri in local parlance, seems to be un- limited. There are, first of all and certainly most obvious, the large number of people occupying official positions in the various ministries located in the captital city of Djakarta, ranging in each ministry from the authoritative Secretary General to the nearly powerless floor sweepers. There are the territorial administrative authorities, all under the Minister of Interna! Affairs, from provincial Governors down to the village chiefs who are electecl by their fellow villagers but who after their election receive their official appointments from the Govern- ment through their superiors in the administrative hierarchy. These territorial administrative authorities constitute the civil service who are frequently idenitified as memibers of the government bureaucracy par excellence. There are, furthermore, as in many another country, the members of the judiciary, personnel of the medical service, diplomats and consular officials of the foreign service, taxation officials, technicians engaged in the construction and maintenance of public works, employees of state enterprises, research •scientists, and a great number of instruc- tors, ranging from teachers of Kindergarten schools to university professors at the innumerable institutions of education operated by the Government in the service of the youthful sectors of the population.

    F o r t h e S a k e o f D e b t M a n a g e m e n t : How w a s P residential D e c r e e No. 39/1991 D r a f t e d ? The Editors On September 4,1991, President Soeharto issued Presidential Decree No. 39/1991, announcing the formation of the Team for the Coordination of Management of Offshore Commercial Loans (Tim Koordinasi Pengelolaan Pinjaman Komersial Luar Negeri, or Tim PKLN). It consisted of ten ministers and the governor of the Bank of Indonesia and was headed by Coordinating Minister for Economy, Finance, Industry, and Development Super­ vision, Radius Prawiro. The Team was to coordinate the management of all offshore com­ mercial loans outside the framework of the IGGI and other official loans, to determine the total amount of offshore commercial loans to be procured from the international capital market in each fiscal year, and to decide the priority order of offshore commercial loans for financing development projects and other purposes.1 In short, the team was created for debt management to bring expanding offshore commercial loans under control. About a month later, on October 12,1991, after the Team met with Soeharto, Coordi­ nating Minister Radius Prawiro announced that it had set ceilings for offshore commercial borrowing by the Bank of Indonesia, state banks, private banks, state corporations, and private corporations, and that it had decided to approve three out of the seven large projects already in the pipeline for implementation in the 1991/92 fiscal year.
