On the Ferns of Sumba (Lesser Sunda Islands)
Botany. - On the Ferns of Sumba (Lesser Sunda Islands) . By O . POSTH UMUS . (Communicated by Prof. J. C. SCHO UTE . ) (Communlcated at the meeting of October 25. 1930). In the following list the Ferns gathered by the native collector IBOET ot the Herbarium Buitenzorg. during the voyage of Dr. K. W . DAMMERMAN to th is island (14 March 1925 to 26 May 1925) are enumerated; the material belongs to the Buitenzorg Herbarium. The details about the localities are taken from the labels ; the altitude is added, wherever it could be derived from the maps of the island ; its correctness is of course approximative because the collecting work was done in the rather hilly surroundings of the indicated villages. Remarks about the general aspect of the vegetation can be found in the report of Dr. DAMM ERMAN on his voyage 1) and in the report, made by H . WITKAMP 2) on his geological investigations of the island. Botanical collections were made here formerly only by J. E. TEYSMANN 3 ). The Ferns, collectedon this occasion we re mentioned by BAKER in the book of BECCARI on "Malesia" ; an additional specimen, not recorded by BAKER , was mentioned by VAN ALDERWEREL T VAN ROSENB URGH in his Handbook. Moreover I could study in the Buitenzorg Herbarium some other Ferns collected in the is land by TEYSMANN and not mentioned in "Malesia". The nomenclature and arrangement used is after C.

East Asia and the Pacific Also Assist in finalising Comprehensive Procedures for the Man- Arate Chapters
Recent Developments In Indonesia, the brutal killing of three UNHCR staff members in Atambua, West Timor, on 6 September 2000 was a shock to UNHCR and the international com- munity and a tragic illustration of the difficult security environment in which staff were working to protect and assist East Timorese refugees. After the murders, all UN staff were evacuated from West Timor and activities suspended. On 8 September, the UN Security Council adopted resolution 1319, condemning the murders and insist- ing that the Government of Indonesia take a number of concrete steps to improve the security situation in the refugee camps. UNHCR’s return to West Timor and the resumption of operations will be contingent upon the achievement of non-negotiable benchmarks communicated formally to the Government. These include the arrest and prosecution of those responsible for the murders, disarmament, disbanding and removal of the militias from the refugee camps; and the restoration of law and order in West Timor. UNHCR maintains a dialogue with the Government, notably on its Comprehensive Plan of Action for East Timorese Refugees, which was developed in July. This dialogue continues on the clear understanding that UNHCR will not resume its activities in West Timor until the above-mentioned benchmarks have been East Asia fully met. From 11 to 16 November, the Office participated in a Security Council mission to Indonesia (including visits to camps in West Timor) and East Timor, intended to assess the Government’s follow-up to resolution 1319. At the time of writing, UNHCR had not yet taken a decision to resume operations in West Timor. -

Austronesian Diaspora a New Perspective
AUSTRONESIAN DIASPORA A NEW PERSPECTIVE Proceedings the International Symposium on Austronesian Diaspora AUSTRONESIAN DIASPORA A NEW PERSPECTIVE Proceedings the International Symposium on Austronesian Diaspora PERSPECTIVE 978-602-386-202-3 Gadjah Mada University Press Jl. Grafika No. 1 Bulaksumur Yogyakarta 55281 Telp./Fax.: (0274) 561037 [email protected] | ugmpress.ugm.ac.id Austronesian Diaspora PREFACE OF PUBLISHER This book is a proceeding from a number of papers presented in The International Symposium on Austronesian Diaspora on 18th to 23rd July 2016 at Nusa Dua, Bali, which was held by The National Research Centre of Archaeology in cooperation with The Directorate of Cultural Heritage and Museums. The symposium is the second event with regard to the Austronesian studies since the first symposium held eleven years ago by the Indonesian Institute of Sciences in cooperation with the International Centre for Prehistoric and Austronesia Study (ICPAS) in Solo on 28th June to 1st July 2005 with a theme of “the Dispersal of the Austronesian and the Ethno-geneses of People in the Indonesia Archipelago’’ that was attended by experts from eleven countries. The studies on Austronesia are very interesting to discuss because Austronesia is a language family, which covers about 1200 languages spoken by populations that inhabit more than half the globe, from Madagascar in the west to Easter Island (Pacific Area) in the east and from Taiwan-Micronesia in the north to New Zealand in the south. Austronesia is a language family, which dispersed before the Western colonization in many places in the world. The Austronesian dispersal in very vast islands area is a huge phenomenon in the history of humankind. -
Don't Make Us Choose: Southeast Asia in the Throes of US-China Rivalry
THE NEW GEOPOLITICS OCTOBER 2019 ASIA DON’T MAKE US CHOOSE Southeast Asia in the throes of US-China rivalry JONATHAN STROMSETH DON’T MAKE US CHOOSE Southeast Asia in the throes of US-China rivalry JONATHAN STROMSETH EXECUTIVE SUMMARY U.S.-China rivalry has intensified significantly in Southeast Asia over the past year. This report chronicles the unfolding drama as it stretched across the major Asian summits in late 2018, the Second Belt and Road Forum in April 2019, the Shangri-La Dialogue in May-June, and the 34th summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in August. Focusing especially on geoeconomic aspects of U.S.-China competition, the report investigates the contending strategic visions of Washington and Beijing and closely examines the region’s response. In particular, it examines regional reactions to the Trump administration’s Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP) strategy. FOIP singles out China for pursuing regional hegemony, says Beijing is leveraging “predatory economics” to coerce other nations, and poses a clear choice between “free” and “repressive” visions of world order in the Indo-Pacific region. China also presents a binary choice to Southeast Asia and almost certainly aims to create a sphere of influence through economic statecraft and military modernization. Many Southeast Asians are deeply worried about this possibility. Yet, what they are currently talking about isn’t China’s rising influence in the region, which they see as an inexorable trend that needs to be managed carefully, but the hard-edged rhetoric of the Trump administration that is casting the perception of a choice, even if that may not be the intent. -
Fungtionalism Perspective of Likurai Dance in Belu, East Nusa Tenggara

Likurai dance is one of the traditional dances originating from the Faturika Village area, Raimanuk District, Belu Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, which was born around 1800 and continues to spread widely throughout the East Nusa Tenggara region. Likurai dance is a type of traditional dance that has some unique and interesting things, especially when viewed from the perspective of functionalism. Along with the development of the times and the changing culture of the local community, this Likurai dance has developed and changed especially in terms of function. This dance experiences shifts and shifts of functions, which were originally dances which are often performed to welcome the heroes who returned from the battlefield to dance that shows the regional identity that is usually displayed at several events and cultural activities of the Belu community. Keywords: Belu, Dance, Fungtionalism, Likurai, I. INTRODUCTION Humans are tangible figures, while culture besides having material forms are also things that cannot be touched (intangible culture) such as ideology of norms, values and others (Sumaryono, 2011: 20). -
Migration in the Malay Archipelago, C. 1750–1850
Toward Cities, Seas, and Jungles: Migration in the Malay Archipelago, c. 1750–1850 Atsushi Ota The period discussed in this chapter falls in the one hundred years before mass long-distance migration rapidly expanded throughout the world. It seems a consensus that industrialization, which entailed large-scale production of raw materials and food, caused mass migrations in the modern world. For exam- ple, Adam McKeown, who has discussed the global migration from 1846 to 1940 with a special focus on Chinese migration in North and Southeast Asia, has argued that “[t]he rise of a global economy centred on European, North American, and Japanese industrialization was the context for increased long- distance migration of settlers and workers” in cash-crop plantations and rice fields in Asia in the period in his discussion.1 His argument, however, may give an impression that modern migration was propelled mostly by the industriali- zation in the above-mentioned countries, and that migration prior to his period was much smaller in scale and shorter-distance. This chapter discusses the migration in the larger Malay Archipelago (taken here as the Malay Peninsula, Singapore, and present-day Indonesia; hereafter the Malay Archipelago or the Archipelago) before Western private enterprises promoted cash-crop and food production, in order to understand the modern expansion of migration in a longer timeframe. No scholars of global migration have paid serious attention to the migra- tion in the Malay Archipelago in the period in question, probably because they have assumed industrialization in the later period to be the most (or even only) important factor prompting mass long-distance migration. -

Coretention of Words and Genes on the Island of Sumba, Eastern Indonesia
Coretention of Words and Genes on the Island of Sumba, Eastern Indonesia Abstract Numerous studies have shown strong associations between languages and genes among human populations. These continental scale genetic and linguistic patterns must arise from processes originating in the communities where people live. We examine the patterns of linguistic and genetic variaion on the eastern Indonesian island of Sumba. Approximately 3500 years ago, this island was the cite of contact between aboriginal foraging societies and seafaring Austronesian farmers. We find the the proportion of words and of genes that can be traced to Austronesian origins varies across the island with a positive correlation between the percentage of Y chromosome lineages derived from Austronesian ancestors and retained cognates of the Proto-Austronesian language. 1 Introduction Human populations and the languages that they speak change over time. The movement of people and the innovations they make in their language are difficult to observe and quantify over short periods and impossible to witness over long periods. Consequently, researchers have been forced to undertake indirect approaches to infer associations between human languages and human genes. Most of the well-known studies focus their questions on the movement of people on continental scales. These studies led Diamond and Bellwood to suggest that many of the correlations that we presently see in languages and genes result from the movement of prehistoric farmers from the places in which these agricultural techniques first arose. The simplest form of their hypothesis is that genes and languages evolve in parallel after migrating farmers encounter and replace indigenous hunter-gatherer populations.
