Agrarian Regime and State Formation in Late-Colonial Netherlands East Indies SUBJECTS, LAWMAKING AND LAND RIGHTS: AGRARIAN REGIME AND STATE FORMATION IN LATE-COLONIAL NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Upik Wira Marlin Djalins August 2012 © 2012 Upik Wira Marlin Djalins SUBJECTS, LAWMAKING AND LAND RIGHTS: AGRARIAN REGIME AND STATE FORMATION IN LATE-COLONIAL NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES Upik Wira Marlin Djalins, Ph.D. Cornell University 2012 In this dissertation I interrogate colonial state formation in the Netherlands East Indies between 1870 and 1939, using the lens of land appropriation sanctioned by colonial laws. Drawing on archival sources from the Netherlands and Indonesia, I dissect the constitution of the colonial agrarian regime as a distinctive project of state- making in which the colonizer and the colonized actively participated. My key objective is to foreground the role of the colonized subjects and the autonomy of their enunciations and strategies in the everyday making of “the state,” a contrast with many accounts of state-making in the Netherlands East Indies. I argue that the constitution of the colonial agrarian regime involved not only lawmaking, but also, and perhaps more importantly, the making of subjects. I also argue that it was human agents having myriad forms of association with state institutions who carried out these practices, such that they blur the boundary between “the state” and “subjects.” Drawing on Abrams and Foucault, I focus on a number of critical subject—Native intellectuals, Dutch planters, and Native and Indo-European politicians among others—and their discursive battles to showcase how the complex relations of state formation and practices unfold. This focus, away from the state as a reified object of study and into the various processes of state-making, offers an understanding of the tensions and convergences between the colonizers and the colonial subjects. Training the gaze upon colonial subjects renders visible a process of colonial state formation that was not consisted of a continuous stream of one-way domination. Rather, colonial state formation emerges as pulsations of power—one moment contracting, the next expanding—and as interplays of power rife with ambivalence and contestations in which a wide spectrum of the colonized subjects played indispensable roles.

  • The Revival of Tradition in Indonesian Politics
    The Revival of Tradition in Indonesian Politics The Indonesian term adat means ‘custom’ or ‘tradition’, and carries connotations of sedate order and harmony. Yet in recent years it has suddenly become associated with activism, protest and violence. Since the resignation of President Suharto in 1998, diverse indigenous communities and ethnic groups across Indonesia have publicly, vocally, and sometimes violently, demanded the right to implement elements of adat in their home territories. This book investigates the revival of adat in Indonesian politics, identifying its origins, the historical factors that have conditioned it and the reasons for its recent blossoming. The book considers whether the adat revival is a constructive contribution to Indonesia’s new political pluralism or a divisive, dangerous and reactionary force, and examines the implications for the development of democracy, human rights, civility and political stability. It is argued that the current interest in adat is not simply a national offshoot of international discourses on indigenous rights, but also reflects a specifically Indonesian ideological tradition in which land, community and custom provide the normative reference points for political struggles. Whilst campaigns in the name of adat may succeed in redressing injustices with regard to land tenure and helping to preserve local order in troubled times, attempts to create enduring forms of political order based on adat are fraught with dangers. These dangers include the exacerbation of ethnic conflict, the legitimation of social inequality, the denial of individual rights and the diversion of attention away from issues of citizenship, democracy and the rule of law at national level. Overall, this book is a full appraisal of the growing significance of adat in Indonesian politics, and is an important resource for anyone seeking to understand the contemporary Indonesian political landscape.

Absorption of labor in the agricultural sector in Riau Province in 2019 was around 31.9 %, down from the previous year which reached 55.3 %. The agricultural sector has a high contribution to GDP (in economic terms) in Riau Province. The results of rice production from agricultural activities can affect vulnerability to food security in a province. The research objective is to examine the employment of agricultural sector workers and rice production in Riau Province in 2010-2018. The data used are institutional data. The method used in this research is descriptive with quantitative data support. Generally, in Riau Province, regencies classified as high in human resources (labor) sector A are Indragiri Hilir Regency and Rokan Hilir Regency which produce large amounts of rice production. Regencies that are classified as high in the number of workers are Kampar and Rokan Hulu, but rice production is still relatively low, due to not optimal productivity. Keywords: Agriculture, labor, production, spatial, distribution 1. Introduction Decrease in rice yields from agricultural activities can affect vulnerability to food security, this occurs in The agricultural sector has a role in national Riau Province.

Léon Buskens & Baudouin Dupret - The Invention of Islamic Law: A History of Western Studies of Islamic Normativity and Their Spread in the Orient1 In memory of Albert Dekker (1952-2011) Normativity in Muslim societies existed before, and independent of the introduction of the concept of Islamic law at the end of the eighteenth century. However, nowadays the concept of Islamic law has become so self-evident and politicised, for Muslims as well as for outsiders, that some Muslims consider the analysis of its coming into being as a provocation.

Berlin ne of the key milestones in world history has been the rise to prominence Oof new and influential states in world affairs. The recent trajectories of China and India suggest strongly that these states will play a more powerful role in the world in the coming decades.1 One recent analysis, for example, judges that “the likely emergence of China and India ...asnewglobal players—similar to the advent of a united Germany in the 19th century and a powerful United States in the early 20th century—will transform the geopolitical landscape, with impacts potentially as dramatic as those in the two previous centuries.”2 India’s rise, of course, has been heralded before—perhaps prematurely. How- ever, its ascent now seems assured in light of changes in India’s economic and political mind-set, especially the advent of better economic policies and a diplo- macy emphasizing realism.

  • Reconnaissance Study Of
    (a) Large Reservoir and Small Pump Capacity In most drainage areas, a pumping station is characterized by storage of flood in a large reservoir placed at the pumping station so as to minimize pump capacity, thus initial cost and operation cost. Table 3.18 includes data of pump capacity and area of reservoir attached. However, as explained in the 1973 Master Plan Study Report, if pumps are small, the reservoir may not yet empty before the next rainstorm. (b) Complicated Network of Drainage System The pump drainage areas in the DKI Jakarta have complicated network of drains with a lot of gates. Flood water is so controlled by gates to distribute optimum discharge to downstream in consideration of flow capacity of main drain, pump capacity as well as down stream water level including Sea Level. (c) Planning without Consideration of Secondary and Tertiary Drains The other characteristics of drainage system in the DKI Jakarta is that existing pump capacity and starting water level of a reservoir of a pump drainage area are so determined that highest water level or the Design Flood Level along the main drain is lower than the existing bank elevation for one day flood with 25-year return period, assuming that most of rainfall can be drained to the main drain. However, there are a lot of flood prone areas in pump drainage areas. One cause of inundation in flood prone areas may be improper installation/maintenance of secondary/tertiary drains, though gravity drain can be attained. Also high Design Flood Level of main drain may be other causes why rainwater is difficult to be drained.

Kendati gagasan mereka sangat relevan dengan pengentasan problem umat. Beberapa di antaranya seperti Syafruddin Prawiranegara, merespons sikap politik penguasa dengan komunikasi politik yang santun nan progresif. Proses komunikasi politik intelektual Masyumi tersebut diurai melalui beberapa aspek seperti: creative understanding, identity values, aesthetic appeal, community agreement serta reform of society. Menghadapi strategi politik propaganda Soekarno dan Soeharto terhadap sikap politik yang berbeda, Syafrudin Prawiranegara merespons dinamika politik baik Orde Lama maupun Orde Baru lebih bersifat retorik di mana ia bertumpu pada argumentasi yang mengandalkan kekuatan logika serta pendekatan persuasi dan apresiasi yang berimbang dalam melihat peristiwa, tokoh, maupun pergulatan politik yang terjadi.

Haley, Chair Michael E. Townsend Beth E. Rivin Program Authorized to Offer Degree School of Law © Copyright 2015 Yu Un Oppusunggu ii University of Washington Abstract Sudargo Gautama and the Development of Indonesian Public Order: A Study on the Application of Public Order Doctrine in a Pluralistic Legal System Yu Un Oppusunggu Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor John O. Haley School of Law A sweeping proviso that protects basic or fundamental interests of a legal system is known in various names – ordre public, public policy, public order, government’s interest or Vorbehaltklausel. This study focuses on the concept of Indonesian public order in private international law. It argues that Indonesia has extraordinary layers of pluralism with respect to its people, statehood and law. Indonesian history is filled with the pursuit of nationhood while protecting diversity. The legal system has been the unifying instrument for the nation. However the selected cases on public order show that the legal system still lacks in coherence. Indonesian courts have treated public order argument inconsistently. A prima facie observation may find Indonesian public order unintelligible, and the courts have gained notoriety for it. This study proposes a different perspective. It sees public order in light of Indonesia’s legal pluralism and the stages of legal development.

  • The Marine East Indies: Diversity and ARTICLE Speciation John C
    Journal of Biogeography (J. Biogeogr.) (2005) 32, 1517–1522 ORIGINAL The marine East Indies: diversity and ARTICLE speciation John C. Briggs* Georgia Museum of Natural History, The ABSTRACT University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA Aim To discuss the impact of new diversity information and to utilize recent findings on modes of speciation in order to clarify the evolutionary significance of the East Indies Triangle. Location The Indo-Pacific Ocean. Methods Analysis of information on species diversity, distribution patterns and speciation for comparative purposes. Results Information from a broad-scale survey of Indo-Pacific fishes has provided strong support for the theory that the East Indies Triangle has been operating as a centre of origin. It has become apparent that more than two-thirds of the reef fishes inhabiting the Indo-Pacific are represented in the Triangle. An astounding total of 1111 species, more than are known from the entire tropical Atlantic, were reported from one locality on the small Indonesian island of Flores. New information on speciation modes indicates that the several unique characteristics of the East Indian fauna are probably due to the predominance of competitive (sympatric) speciation. Main conclusions It is proposed that, within the East Indies, the high species diversity, the production of dominant species, and the presence of newly formed species, are due to natural selection being involved in reproductive isolation, the first step in the sympatric speciation process. In contrast, speciation in the peripheral areas is predominately allopatric. Species formed by allopatry are the direct result of barriers to gene flow. In this case, reproductive isolation may be seen as a physical process that does not involve natural selection.

BTJ recounts the genealogy of Javanese kings until the reign of Pakubuwana II in Kartasura. BTJ in this episode expresses the steps of Sultan Agung to knit the continuity of the power of the Mataram dynasty in controlling Java and Madura. The political steps taken by Sultan Agung in legitimizing power were trusted by the people as an attitude that was directly inspired by God. The speech story recorded in the BTJ within the limits of this study contains three important motives, namely (1) spiritual motives, (2) political, and (3) power. Information in the BTJ should be seen as a Javanese perspective in interpreting its world and king's greatness, not as a historical turn. Keyword: spiritual logic, Mataram dynasty, knowledge motive, political motive, power Motive Introduction Sultan Agung Hanyakrakusuma ruled in Mataram from 1613-1645. Sultan Agung was recorded in the genealogy of the Mataram kings as the third generation ruler after Panembahan Senapati and Susuhunan Krapyak.
