Becoming A Young Farmer
This open access book is based on a multi-country collaborative research project focussing on Canada, China, India, and Indonesia. It responds directly and concretely to concerns about the generational sustainability of smallholder farming worldwide– reflected in the current UN Decade of Family Farming. Drawing on research that asks how (some) young people continue to pursue a (future) livelihood in farming, the book uses the life-course perspective and privileges voices of young farmers to show that movement away from farming such as time spent in education, migration and non-farm work does not exclude eventual farming futures. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of agrarian studies, anthropology, development studies, gender studies, human geography, rural sociology, and youth studies.

The Indonesian Economy
"Indonesia is one of the few countries that came through the global economic crisis in 2008-09 with positive economic growth. Despite some recorded positive domestic economic performances, Indonesia faces new challenges as its economy keeps growing and the global economy remains uncertain. A new economic development paradigm is needed to overcome old problems (poverty and unemployment, inadequate infrastructure, corruption, a complex regulatory environment, and unequal resource distribution among regions) with global market opportunities. This book provides a new perspective on how Indonesian’s economic policies should be developed by considering its past and future challenges." - Firmanza...

Development of Small-scale Industries During the New Order Government in Indonesia
This title was first published in 2000: As in many other LDCs, in Indonesia small-scale industries (SSIs) are important, particularly with respect to the creation of employment opportunities. SSIs are expected to absorb many millions of workers who have been displaced by current economic crisis. This work seeks to explain the pattern of development of SSIs in Indonesia within a broader theoretical framework. It also deals with a number of SSI development-related aspects that in Indonesia so far have never or rarely been studied, such as the formation of strategic alliance, cluster development, and application of theories of flexible specialization to the LDCs. The book also tries to examine empirically the effects of the current economic crisis and to assess theoretically the likely impact of the full implementation of the agreed IMF reform package on SSI development in the country. Main problems faced by small producers and the government policy environment are highlighted through several detailed examples.
Social Science and Power in Indonesia
The premise of Social Science and Power in Indonesia is that the role and development of social sciences in Indonesia over the past fifty years are inextricably related to the shifting requirements of power. What is researched and what is not, which frameworks achieve paradigmatic status while others are marginalized, and which kinds of social scientists become influential while others are ignored are all matters of power. These and other important themes and issues are critically explored by some of Indonesia's foremost social scientists in this seminal work.

Workers and Intellectuals
In the 1990s, Indonesia’s independent labor movement re-emerged after decades of repression. The revival was led by students and NGO activists, who organized industrial workers and spoke on their behalf. Workers and Intellectuals explores how these middle-class activists struggled to define their place in a labor movement shaped by a history of fierce debate about the role of nonworker intellectuals. Drawing on extensive interviews, Michele Ford documents the contribution made by NGOs and student groups to the resurgence of labor activism, explaining how activists and workers perceived their roles and how the situation evolved in the decade after Suharto’s authoritarian regime crumbled in 1998. This fine-grained study of labor organization in a developing country will appeal to scholars of labor history, politics, and sociology, as well as Indonesia specialists.
Protecting Apparel Workers Through Transnational Networks
Die 29-jährige Ngadinah hat in Indonesien Fußballschuhe für den multinationalen Konzern adidas genäht. Gleichzeitig kämpfte sie als Gewerkschafterin gegen die schlechten Bedingungen an ihrem Arbeitsplatz. Dafür verbrachte sie 2001 einen Monat im Gefängnis.In ihrem Kampf fand sie Unterstützung bei einem transnationalen Akteursnetzwerk, bestehend aus Nichtregierungsorganisationen und Gewerkschaften, das weltweit für die Einhaltung internationaler Sozialstandards in der Bekleidungsindustrie kämpft. Mitglieder dieses Netzwerkes üben in den Konsumentenländern gezielt Druck auf Bekleidungsunternehmen wie adidas oder Karstadt aus, um die Situation der Arbeiter/innen in den Produktionsländern zu verbessern.Diese politikwissenschaftliche Untersuchung zeigt anhand der Geschichte von Ngadinah und zwei weiteren exemplarischen Fällen, wovon eine erfolgreiche Arbeit des Netzwerkes abhängt, so dass die Näher/innen in den „Weltmarktfabriken“ menschenwürdigere Konditionen vorfinden.
