The key to development lies in the constant discovery of new combinations of production factors, spurred by technological innovations and progress. In 2000, global development had increased the Gross Global Product sevenfold since 1950. The average living standard of the world’s population improved rapidly. But at the same time, global poverty levels rose as well. The number of people living below the poverty line grew to 2.25 billion out of the world’s total population of 4 billion by the end of the 20th century. It was felt that economic development was leading to a sharp social decline; development scholars worried that social development to improve people’s welfare was being neglected.

Kunci pembangunan terletak pada penemuan kombinasi faktor produksi yang terus berkembang dipacu oleh pertumbuhan inovasi teknologi dan pembangunan melecit maju. Di tahun 2000, pembangunan global berhasil menaikkan jumlah "Produk Global Bruto" sebesar tujuh kali tahun 1950. Tingkat hidup rata-rata penduduk naik cepat. Namun serentak dengan ini, tingkat kemiskinan penduduk global juga naik. Jumlah penduduk sebesar 2,25 miliar dari 4 miliar total penduduk global hidup di bawah garis kemiskinan pada akhir abad ke-20. Pembangunan ekonomi dirasakan berjalan dengan pengunduran sosial yang tajam sehingga merisaukan para ilmuwan pembangunan yang menyaksikan tertinggalnya pembangunan sosial dalam menaikkan kesejahteraan rakyat.

This volume brings together new scholarship by Indonesian and non-Indonesian scholars on Indonesia’s cultural history from 1950-1965. During the new nation’s first decade and a half, Indonesia’s links with the world and its sense of nationhood were vigorously negotiated on the cultural front. Indonesia used cultural networks of the time, including those of the Cold War, to announce itself on the world stage. International links, post-colonial aspirations and nationalistic fervour interacted to produce a thriving cultural and intellectual life at home. Essays discuss the exchange of artists, intellectuals, writing and ideas between Indonesia and various countries; the development of cultural networks; and ways these networks interacted with and influenced cultural expression and discourse in Indonesia. With contributions by Keith Foulcher, Liesbeth Dolk, Hairus Salim HS, Tony Day, Budiawan, Maya H.T. Liem, Jennifer Lindsay, Els Bogaerts, Melani Budianta, Choirotun Chisaan, I Nyoman Darma Putra, Barbara Hatley, Marije Plomp, Irawati Durban Ardjo, Rhoma Dwi Aria Yuliantri and Michael Bodden.

In 1965–66, army-organized massacres claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of supporters of the Communist Party of Indonesia. Very few of these atrocities have been studied in any detail, and answers to basic questions remain unclear. What was the relationship between the army and civilian militias? How could the perpetrators come to view unarmed individuals as dangerous enemies of the nation? Why did Communist Party supporters, who numbered in the millions, not resist? Drawing upon years of research and interviews with survivors, Buried Histories is an impressive contribution to the literature on genocide and mass atrocity, crucially addressing the topics of media, military organization, economic interests, and resistance.
This volume is the result of a conference held in October 2015 in connection with the Frankfurt Book Fair discussing developments that are considered important in contemporary Indonesian cultural productions. The first part of the book reflects on the traumatic experiences of the Indonesian nation caused by a failed coup on October 1, 1965. In more general theoretical terms, this topic connects to the field of memory studies, which, in recent decades, has made an academic comeback. The focus of the chapters in this section is how certain, often distressing, events are represented in narratives in a variety of media that are periodically renewed, changed, rehearsed, repeated, and performed, i...
