J.C. van Leur and the Problematic Origins of “Autonomous” Indonesian History
The main purpose of this article is to criticize J.C. van Leur's reputation as a Dutch historian who had been very vocal in criticizing his predecessors regarding Indonesian history. For modern Indonesian historians, van Leur is seen as a pioneer to reverse the perspective of a centric Western perspective to an Indonesian centric point of view. The Western centric point of view places Indonesian history as an extension of the Dutch history in Eur…

Gendered Access to Formal and Informal Resources in Postdisaster Development in the Ecuadorian Andes
The devastating eruptions of Mount Tungurahua in the Ecuadorian highlands in 1999 and 2006 left many communities struggling to rebuild their homes and others permanently displaced to settlements built by state and nongovernmental organizations. For several years afterward, households diversified their economic strategies to compensate for losses, communities organized to promote local development, and the state and nongovernmental organizations s…

Economics without history: Objections to the rights hypothesis
Reasons are given for doubting the currently fashionable thesis that economic growth and industrialisation in the case of England derived from establishing secure property rights after 1688. Customary and public rights remained at risk. Ancient arrangements often persisted far into Victorian times. Detailed evidence is presented of survivals and of illiquid features in the land market. Evidence is also given of endemic disputes over enclosure and…
Inequality, Socioeconomic Status, and Social Support in Post-Disaster Mental Health in Mexico
Disasters highlight the vulnerability of people who have limited access to resources. However, based on research from Mexico, we seek—in the context of disasters—to qualify the generalization that mental health is associated with social inequality and individual socioeconomic status. We collected data on socioeconomic status, social support, and depression in two stormimpacted cities (n=581) and four control cities (n=2,509) in Mexico. Two years …
Wives, Slaves, and Concubines: A History of the Female Underclass in Dutch Asia
Wives, Slaves, and Concubines argues that Dutch colonial practices and law created a new set of social and economic divisions in Batavia-Jakarta, modern-day Indonesia, to deal with difficult realities in Southeast Asia. Jones uses compelling stories from ordinary Asian women to explore the profound structural changes occurring at the end of the early colonial period—changes that helped birth the modern world order. Based on previously untapped cr…
The Environmental Effects of Blood Sports in Lowland England since 1750
This paper considers the effects of blood sports on the landscape, wildlife and farming, and assesses the implications of the topic for some matters of historical interpretation. Histories of individual sports written by practitioners are rarely candid about the environmental costs and even descriptions by professional historians tend to neglect the dynamic ecological consequences. Ritualised foxhunting supplanted more effective control and encou…

The Land that Richard Jefferies Inherited
This article comprises the annual Birthday Lecture of the Richard Jefferies Society as it was delivered in October, 2004. The text sketches the economic, social and environmental history of Jefferies' period (the 1860s, 1870s and 1880s), drawing inter alia on his works and referring especially to his home district in north-east Wiltshire. It alludes, firstly, to the fortunes and environmental effects of both intensive and ‘tumbledown’ arable farm…

The European Miracle: Environments, Economies and Geopolitics in the History of Europe and Asia
Why did modern states and economies develop first in the peripheral and late-coming culture of Europe? This historical puzzle looms behind every study of industrialization and economic development. In this analytical and comparative work Eric Jones sees the economic condition forming where natural environments and political systems meet: Europe's economic rise is explained as a favoured interaction between them, contrasting with the frustrating p…

Introduction As our scientific theories mature, the models and frameworks we employ approach greater clarity. With this piece, I present a graphic model of Ostrom's (1992) The Rudiments of a Theory of the Origins, Survival, and Performance of CommonProperty Institutions in order to clarify the nature of its theoretical components and depict in visual form how those components interact. While Ostrom's work continues to inspire a great deal of theo…

Modeling Cities: The Los Alamos Urban Security Initiative
The vulnerability of urban populations to crises, poor urban decision making, or terrorism means that city stability is a national security issue. And as cities continue to grow, their components are becoming increasingly intertwined, forcing public works officials to treat urban systems as a “system of systems.” The Urban Security Initiative is an integrated, science-based approach that will link computer models of a range of urban processes so …

Challenge to the Nation-State: Immigration in Western Europe and the United States Christian Joppke, Editor New York: Oxford University Press, 1998. 360 pp. In highly developed Western countries, popular notions run rampant about a weakening of the nation-state's sovereignty. Among the state's supposed destroyers are: post-modern economic globalism, tribalistic ethnic nationalism, pressures for international human rights, and supranational impera…
The U.S. Military as an Informational Environment
The historical development of military organization in the United States has been strongly influenced by the desire to make more precise information available to decision-makers at appropriate levels in the chain of command for national security and warfare. By placing the U.S. military in national and international contexts, this paper proposes that its historical development results from the complex informational needs critical to the political…
