This monograph offers the first comprehensive history of the decolonization of the Indonesian economy, a process with a different momentum and timing from the achievement of political independence.
It traces the origins of economic decolonization to the late-colonial period, covers developments during the Japanese occupation and the Indonesian Revolution as well as continued operations by Dutch enterprises in Indonesia during the 1950s. The account culminates with the takeover and nationalization of Dutch private enterprises in the late 1950s.
The book is based on research in a wide variety of primary sources. Themes discussed include economic policies, the changing position of Indonesian personnel inside Dutch-owned firms as well as the emergence of new Indonesian entrepreneurship.
Indonesian Economic Decolonization in Regional and International Perspective, The decolonization of Asia and Africa in the mid-twentieth century was a watershed in recent world history. After decades of formal and informal integration in the Western and Japanese empires the subordination of the peoples of both continents came to an end and in a relatively short period, the new nation-states became independent players in the global political arena. Freeing themselves from the yoke of Western imperialism sometimes led to bitter struggles for Independence, as in Algeria, French Indochina and Indonesia.
Urban space and housing during the decolonization of Indonesia, 1930-1960, In Urban space and housing during the decolonization of Indonesia, 1930-1960 (a main title will be added to this book title) the social changes in Indonesian cities during the process of decolonisation are examined. These social changes are studied from the angle of urban space and the provision of housing. This focus on the everyday worries of space and housing, in combination with a local level of analysis, provides fresh insight into the question how people experienced the Japanese occupation, the Indonesian Revolution, and the first steps to build a sovereign nation.
