Download or read book The Floracrats written by Andrew Goss and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated along the line that divides the rich ecologies of Asia and Australia, the Indonesian archipelago is a hotbed for scientific exploration, and scientists from around the world have made key discoveries there. But why do the names of Indonesia’s own scientists rarely appear in the annals of scientific history? In The Floracrats Andrew Goss examines the professional lives of Indonesian naturalists and biologists, to show what happens to science when a powerful state becomes its greatest, and indeed only, patron. With only one purse to pay for research, Indonesia’s scientists followed a state agenda focused mainly on exploiting the country’s most valuable natural resources—above all its major export crops: quinine, sugar, coffee, tea, rubber, and indigo. The result was a class of botanic bureaucrats that Goss dubs the “floracrats.” Drawing on archives and oral histories, he shows how these scientists strove for the Enlightenment ideal of objective, universal, and useful knowledge, even as they betrayed that ideal by failing to share scientific knowledge with the general public. With each chapter, Goss details the phases of power and the personalities in Indonesia that have struggled with this dilemma, from the early colonial era, through independence, to the modern Indonesian state. Goss shows just how limiting dependence on an all-powerful state can be for a scientific community, no matter how idealistic its individual scientists may be.

Download or read book Explaining Federalism written by Jan Erk and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-09-12 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the theoretical and empirical questions of federalism in the context of five case studies: Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany and Switzerland. The central argument is that in the long run the political institutions of federalism adapt to achieve congruence with the underlying social structure. This change could be in the centralist direction reflecting ethno-linguistic homogeneity, or in decentralist terms corresponding to ethno-linguistic heterogeneity. In this context, the volume: fills a gap in the comparative federalism literature by analyzing the patterns of change and continuity in five federal systems of the industrial west, this is done by an in-depth empirical examination of the case studies through a single framework of analysis illustrates the shortcomings of new-institutionalist approaches in explaining change, highlighting the usefulness of society-based approaches in studying change and continuity in comparative politics. Explaining Federalism will be of interest to students and scholars of federalism, comparative government, comparative institutional analysis and comparative public policy.

Book Synopsis Control of Land and Labour in Colonial Java by : J. Breman
Download or read book Control of Land and Labour in Colonial Java written by J. Breman and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land reforms are usually associated with political regimes trying to restructure rural society in accordance with principles of equality and justice. In striking contrast the colonial land reform discussed in this book led to the introduction of a land floor below which small owners lost their property rights. Thus the regional authorities dealt very firmly with the agrarian crisis which became manifest in Cirebon residency in West Java at the beginning of the 20th century. The study explores the historical background of these developments, highlighting the role of agribusiness in the underdevelopment of the peasant economy. Underlying the new, rather drastic policy was the colonial government’s attempt to encourage social differentiation at the village level in order to pave the way for capitalistic agricultural development. Caught between the dominant interests of the large-scale sugar estates in the area and the ideals of the protagonists of a doctrine of more populist inspiration, the land reform was bound to fall short of the stated objective: the development of a viable peasantry which would become the economic and political backbone of a stable colonial order. The final part of the book, in which the analysis shifts from the regional to the national level, discusses rural stratification and rural policies in post-colonial Indonesia.

Book Synopsis Between People and Statistics by : Francien Van Anrooij
Download or read book Between People and Statistics written by Francien Van Anrooij and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps Piet Creutzberg is and essentially always has been an artisan and an admirer of the best in craftmanship. The emphasis on the practical side of things seems to pervade whatever he undertook during half a century. Anyway, it is as a trader of the historical craft - wielding a Chinese abacus or an electronic computing devic- that, from about 1965 onwards, an increasing number of younger students of Indonesian social, economic and political history have met him in the depot of the 20th century colonial archives in The Hague or at the Royal Tropical Institute in Amsterdam. Of the scores of Dutch, Indonesian, British, Scandinavian, German, American, Australian and Japanese historians he inspired and advised some were writing a master's thesis, others had already made part of their academic career in Indonesian history or related topics, but most of them were in the critical phases of collecting published or archival materials with a view to their incorporation in doctoral dissertations.
Book Synopsis Het geheim van Paleis Kneuterdijk by : Wouter Hugenholtz
Download or read book Het geheim van Paleis Kneuterdijk written by Wouter Hugenholtz and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J.C. Baud was de langst dienende minister onder koning Willem II (1840-1849). Hij stond aan het hoofd van het Departement van Koloniën, dat van cruciale betekenis was voor het herstel van de overheidsfinanciën. Het was de tijd waarin de Nederlandse staat nagenoeg bankroet was en slechts op de been werd gehouden door de koloniale baten die op Java met het Cultuurstelsel werden verkregen. Kort na de troonsbestijging van Willem II begon Baud aantekening te houden van de wekelijkse gesprekken die hij met de koning voerde over het koloniale beleid en ook over de binnenlandse politiek, in het bijzonder de herziening van de grondwet. Baud heeft deze aantekeningen tot het einde van zijn ministerschap volgehouden. Zo ontstond een uniek document dat nagenoeg het hele koningschap van Willem II beslaat, namelijk de periode van januari 1841 tot maart 1848. De vijf kleine boekjes waarin Baud zijn aantekeningen maakte, zijn altijd in familiebezit gebleven en hebben daar decennia lang een onzichtbaar bestaan geleid. Door het vaak onleesbare handschrift was het niet eenvoudig om de aantekeningen op juiste waarde te schatten. Systematische studie met aanvullende toelichting heeft van een reeks fragmentarische notities een spannend politiek verhaal gemaakt. Dit boek werpt niet alleen een nieuw licht op het omstreden koningschap van Willem II, maar gunt de lezer ook een blik in het politieke besluitvormingproces gedurende een periode waarin nog geen sprake was van volledige ministeriële verantwoordelijkheid. De aantekeningen illustreren de vooraanstaande rol die Baud als staatsman heeft gespeeld.
Book Synopsis Labour in Southeast Asia by : Becky Elmhirst
Download or read book Labour in Southeast Asia written by Becky Elmhirst and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-05-07 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In seeking to provoke debate, the book reveals the variety of experiences evident in countries and regions marked by capitalist and (post) socialist regulatory frameworks, and contrasting labour regimes, histories and cultures. The contributions show the importance of critically examining both the complex nature of global-local links and the particular ways economic processes are around the themes of labour regimes, labour processes, labour mobility and labour communities, the essays show how economic development is not only shaped by market forces but is also interlocked in systems of meaning.

Book Synopsis Women and the Colonial State by : Elsbeth Locher-Scholten
Download or read book Women and the Colonial State written by Elsbeth Locher-Scholten and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Woman and the Colonial State deals with the ambiguous relationship between women of both the European and the Indonesian population and the colonial state in the former Netherlands Indies in the first half of the twentieth century. Based on new data from a variety of sources: colonial archives, journals, household manuals, children's literature, and press surveys, it analyses the women-state relationship by presenting five empirical studies on subjects, in which women figured prominently at the time: Indonesian labour, Indonesian servants in colonial homes, Dutch colonial fashion and food, the feminist struggle for the vote and the intense debate about monogamy of and by women at the end of the 1930s. An introductory essay combines the outcomes of the case studies and relates those to debates about Orientalism, the construction of whiteness, and to questions of modernity and the colonial state formation.
