  • Change and Continuity in Southeast Asian Studies

    Open AccessRuth McveyARTICLEJournal of Southeast Asian Studies1995Cited by: 2References: 1

    Forty-odd years ago, when I became involved in the study of Southeast Asia, it appeared to be a new region, struggling to assert itself in the political world from the lingering ties of colonialism and in the academic world from those who would absorb it in the empires of Further India or the Far East. The centre of this new field of study was indisputably the United States, where in the 1950s and early 1960s Southeast Asia programmes were set up…

    Ruth McVeyWhen after the coup of October 1, 1965, the masses were permitted to express their wrath by burning down the Indonesian Communist Party headquarters, the army was care ful to seize the party's archives first.Indonesian academics were called in to analyze some of these documents, particularly the records of research into village conditions which the party had recently sponsored in Java.One such scholar remarked to me on his great surpris…

  • The Army and Politics in Indonesia

    Ruth McveyREVIEWPacific Affairs1980

    That broad area lying between China and India which since World War ll has generally been known as Southeast Asia is one of the most heterogeneous in the world. Though it is generally referred to as a region, the principal basis for this designation is simply the geographic propinquity of its component states, and the fact that collectively they occupy the territory between China and the Indian subcontinent. The fundamental strata ofthe tradi- ti…

  • The Post-Revolutionary Transformation of the Indonesian Army

    Ruth McveyARTICLEIndonesia1972Cited by: 1

    The rebellion of 1958 marked a turning point in the development of the Indonesian army, for it provided the central military leadership with the means to establish its ascendancy over the officer corps. Had there been a compromise in the settlement of the insurrection, General Nasution might have continued for some time to inch his way toward control, in the manner in which we saw him progress during 1955-1956,1 and the relations between the army…

    the Amsterdamsche Sociaal Democratische Studenten Club, when the post brought me a letter from a young Indonesian who had just arrived in Amsterdam and wanted information about socialism and the socialist movement.' Right away I was interested. Both in the Socialist party--the SDAP--and in the Social Democratic Student Club connected with it, the colonial question was at that moment the center of attention. We had,however,had little contact with …
