Governing Urban Indonesia
Nothing is more remarkable about Indonesia over the 80 years since independence than its transformation from a village to an urban society. At the last colonial census in 1930, Indonesia’s urban po

Primate City
Some cities, usually capitals, are disproportionate in size relative to the population of other cities and the national population. Jefferson's law of the primate city and Zipf's rank‐size rule, became standard measures of spatial inequality. Both are statistical associations, not analyses of causes. Despite conceptual weaknesses and data flaws, primacy gave rise to much academic debate and a presumption of capital city bias without offering good…
A Slow Ride into the Past
South East Asia and Australia
This article first reviews the historical trajectories of South East Asian cities. It then discusses urban governance and the state, identifies the present urban hierarchy, and explores urban dynamics by linking regional identity to the international connections as revealed by airline networks. South East Asian urbanism has distinctive features that arose from the exigencies of a tropical monsoon climate and from associated cultural patterns. At …

The 2008 Shipping Law
The restoration of democracy since 1998 has been accompanied by a revival of economic nationalism in Indonesia. This can be seen clearly in the field of shipping and ports. In the 1980s the government deregulated the highly protected and inefficient shipping industry to facilitate a non-oil export drive. Since 1999 a rising tide of economic nationalism has seen a gradual process of re-regulation that has restored some of the old protectionist dev…
Big Questions in Australian Economic History
The conventional story of Australian economic history is worth challenging. Rather than just assuming a national economy with conventional turning points such as Federation, economic historians would do well to investigate more complex processes like the interplay between regions, races and development, and the changing patterns of interaction with the outside world. The big question for economic historians is whether in the future they can under…

First World City
Not until the 1960s was Kuala Lumpur a significant international city (Chapter 1). Georgetown (Penang) was the more important service centre on the western side of the Malay Peninsula (Chapter 6). However, after 1896, as the capital of the new Federated Malay States, Kuala Lumpur gradually became the hub of the Peninsula’s land transport networks and in population moved ahead of Ipoh (Table 10.1). Despite population growth during the 1920s, 1930s…
Cities, Transport and Communications
This book shows the impact of globalization on Southeast Asia, which over a few decades has evolved from a loose set of war-torn ex-colonies to being a centre of global manufacturing. Focusing on citi
Survey of Recent Developments
Representations of Development in 19 th and 20 th Century indonesia
Contemporary debate in Indonesia over ‘people's economy’ and ‘globalisation’ recalls the vigorous 1950s debate over ‘dualism’. Taking as a case study the rise and eclipse of railways, this paper argues that the colonial phenomenon of dualism can with hindsight be reinterpreted as a phase in a previous cycle of globalisation. However, economic history has overlooked the remarkable vitality of the small-scale transport sector. Focus on the small-sc…

Beyond the Third World City
Scholars, as area specialists, have typified south-east Asian cities as Third World cities and emphasised their uniquely south-east Asian or even national characteristics. This paper will argue that the early decades of decolonisation which gave rise to this perspective were in fact a transitional phase. In the late colonial period south-east Asian cities were already becoming more like Western cities. Since the 1980s, in the era of globalisation…
The Transformation of Comparative Advantage
East Java is an important economic region in its own right. Its integration into the world economy began in the mid 19th century with the development of plantation exports. However, between the 1920s and the 1970s East Java suffered a 50-year economic hiatus. This paper argues that the hiatus can be explained by structural rigidity, which affected East Java much more than West Java. It analyses foreign and mterisland trade statistics to chart the…

The Trans-Pacific Economy
The Asia-Pacific region is analysed as a trans-oceanic economy. Like the Trans-Atlantic economy it constitutes a sub-system of the world economy. Drawing on world systems theory its spatial structure could be defined in terms of core states and peripheral states. The use of nation states in the real world situation leads to categorization problems. An alternative approach is to revive network analysis. Rather than making value judgments about cor…
