Sovereignty and the Sea
Until the mid-1950s nearly all of the sea between the far-flung islands of the Indonesian archipelago was open to ships of all nations, but in 1957, the Indonesian government declared that it had absolute sovereignty over all the waters lying within straight baselines drawn between the outermost islands of Indonesia. In this single step, Indonesia made its lands and seas a unified entity for the first time, a claim formally recognized in 1982 by …

Resink revisited
A distinctive feature of the constitutional structure of the Netherlands Indies was the division between the areas directly ruled by the government in Batavia and the ‘self-governing’ realms that were tied to the Netherlands by treaties or contracts but retained some degree of autonomy. In a series of articles written between 1950 and 1964 G.J. Resink argues that as late as 1910 many self-governing realms in fact retained their sovereignty and ha…
The Closing of the Frontier
The Closing of the Frontier
This book is the first on the history of the marine fisheries of Southeast Asia. It takes as its central theme the movement of fisheries into new fishing grounds, particularly the diverse ecosystems that make up the seas of Southeast Asia. This process accelerated between the 1950s and 1970s in what the author calls "the great fish race". Catches soared as the population of the region grew, demand from Japan and North America for shrimps and tuna…
Getting into Trouble
Thai trawlers have been notorious for intruding into the waters of many countries in Southeast Asia and even in South Asia. This paper traces the history of the troubles Thai trawlers have experienced and caused since they burst out of the Gulf of Thailand in great numbers in the mid 1960s. The central question is why they have got into so much trouble. Although many have been arrested or even sunk, the remarkable point is that most have been abl…
The Salt Farm and the Fishing Industry of Bagan Si Api Api
During the early years of the twentieth century, the town of Bagan Si Api Api at the mouth of the Rokan River on the east coast of Sumatra was one of the most important fishing ports in the world. The Chinese inhabitants of Bagan Si Ap exported massive amounts of dried fish, dried prawns, and the shrimp paste kno terasi to the Malay Peninsula and Java. Since fish, prawns, and shrimps spoil rapi once caught and exposed to the warm tropical air, vi…
Restraint Economics and the New Right
Restraint by government in the area of social service spending in the 1980's has become an issue of grave concern for social service practitioners, planners, and administrators. The emergence in North America of neo-conservative economic policies has engendered a body of critical and provocative literature which examines the effects of "restraint economics". Recent work in geography has sought to locate the supply-side trend within a framework of…
The Demise of the Revenue Farm System in the Federated Malay States
Within the space of a few years a remarkable transformation took place in the taxation system of the Federated Malay States (FMS). Up until the early 1900s the British administration of these states relied, as had the sultans and chiefs from whom the British had taken control in the 1870s, on the revenue farm system for collecting many taxes. Most revenue farms were constituted according to the standard pattern found elsewhere in Southeast Asia a…
Towards the History of Malayan Society
Colonial Malaya is one of the classic examples of a plural society. In Furnivall's memorable words, it was a society in which “each group holds its own religion, its own culture and language, its own ideas and ways”, a society made up of different groups “living side by side, but separately, within the same political unit”. It is perhaps because of this all-important characteristic that social historians have tended to focus on one or another of …
