Soziale Netzwerke
in modernen Gesellschaften ist der Gedanke weit verbreitet, dass soziale Netzwerk eine große Leistungsfähigkeit bei der Generierung von Problemlösungen besitzen und andere Formen der Handlungskoordination, beispielsweise der bürokratischen Organisation, oftmals überlegen sind. Netzwerke verknüpfen Flexibilität und Effizienz in einer einzigartigen Weise. Sie machen zudem das Risiko innovativen Handelns kalkulierbar, weil sich die kooperierenden Partner wechselseitig absichern. Das Werk liefert anhand unterschiedlicher gesellschaftlicher Handlungsfelder Einblicke in die Praktiken einer vernetzten Gesellschaft. Es präsentiert zudem Bausteine einer soziologischen Theorie sozialer Netzwerke.

Commodities and Colonialism
Sugar yesterday was what oil is today: a commodity of immense global importance whose tentacles reached deep into politics, society and economy. Indonesia’s colonial-era sugar industry is largely forgotten today, except by a small number of regional specialists writing for a specialist audience. During the period 1880-1942 covered by this book, however, the then Netherlands Indies was one of the world’s very greatest producer-exporters of the commodity. How it contrived to do so is the story presented in this book. Author G. Roger Knight, associate professor of history in the University of Adelaide, has researched the history of Indonesia’s sugar industry for more than twenty-five years, using unpublished archival sources in both the Netherlands and Indonesia. His search has taken him into government records, family histories and – above all – the extensive surviving papers of the Dutch sugar companies who operated in Indonesia during the late colonial era. The result is a picture of the industry that offers important new insights into its history and its place in the framework of global commodity production over a period extending over three quarters of a century.
