Modernizing Indonesia’s Agriculture
With both achievements and persistent challenges over the last few decades, ensuring food security remains a priority for policymakers and development efforts in Indonesia. Setting aside some backsliding resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, Indonesia’s poverty reduction journey has come a long way since the Asian financial crisis to less than 10% by 2019. Likewise, meaningful progress has been seen in daily calorie consumption and a declining stunting rate. But despite these gains, many challenges are evident. On the production side, agriculture struggles to promote productivity, community livelihood, and sustainability—a challenge made more pronounced by increased extreme weather event...
Memodernisasi Pertanian Indonesia
Diwarnai berbagai pencapaian dan tantangan dalam beberapa dasawarsa terakhir, ketahanan pangan masih menjadi prioritas para pembuat kebijakan dan upaya-upaya pembangunan di Indonesia. Terlepas dari penurunan capaian akibat pandemi COVID-19, kemiskinan di Indonesia telah berkurang secara sangat signifikan sejak krisis finansial Asia, mencapai kurang dari 10% pada 2019. Kemajuan juga dapat dilihat dalam hal peningkatan konsumsi kalori harian dan penurunan tingkat stunting. Namun, banyak tantangan masih menghadang. Di sisi produksi, sektor pertanian kesulitan untuk memperbaiki produktivitas, penghidupan masyarakat, dan keberlanjutan–sebuah tantangan yang kian diperparah oleh fenomena cuaca ek...
Masih Berjayakah Sawit Indonesia?
Sebagai pemasok minyak sawit terbesar dunia, Indonesia masih memegang “supremasi” penghasil minyak nabati nomor satu di tingkat global. Namun, apakah keadaan industri sawit Indonesia saat ini baik-baik saja? Alih-alih menunjukkan pertumbuhan yang menggembirakan, sektor industri sawit Indonesia justru memperlihatkan tanda-tanda stagnasi, bahkan proyeksi kemunduran belakangan ini.

Industri sawit Indonesia tidak berdiri sendiri di ruang hampa, tetapi menjadi bagian integral dari lanskap sumber energi global, dengan segala persaingan dan ...
Chilam Balam of Ixil: Facsimile and Study of an Unpublished Maya Book
In Chilam Balam of Ixil Laura Caso Barrera translates for the first time a Yucatec Maya document that resulted from the meticulous reading by the Colonial Maya of various European texts such as the Bible and the Poem of the Mío Cid, as well as various studies on astronomy, astrology, calendars, and medicine. The Maya, showing considerable astuteness and insight, appropriated this knowledge. With this study and facsimile, experts can further their knowledge of Mayan calendars or traditional medicine; and Mayan enthusiasts can discover more about the culture’s world view and history. En el Chilam Balam de Ixil Laura Caso Barrera traduce por primera vez un documento en maya yucateco, que resultó de la minuciosa lectura que realizaron los mayas coloniales de distintos textos europeos como la Biblia o el Cantar del Mío Cid, así como de diversos estudios de astronomía, astrología, calendarios y medicina. Con astucia y perspicacia, los mayas hicieron propio ese saber. Con esta edición, los expertos podrán ahondar en las anotaciones calendáricas o la medicina tradicional maya; y los amantes de esta cultura conocerán otros aspectos de su pensamiento e historia.
Business Models for Sustainability
Business Models for Sustainability breaks new ground by combining three important insights. First, achieving sustainability requires socio-technical transitions that entail new technologies, production processes, lifestyles, and consumption patterns. Second, firms play crucial roles in mediating between sustainable production and consumption. Third, radical innovations require organizational innovations and new business models. Peter Wells successfully combines these big picture ideas with rich in-depth case studies drawing on years of accumulated expertise. Highly recommended. Frank W. Geels, University of Manchester, UK and Chairman of the Sustainability Transitions Research Network With i...
A Certain Age
A Certain Age is an unconventional, evocative work of history and a moving reflection on memory, modernity, space, time, and the limitations of traditional historical narratives. Rudolf Mrázek visited Indonesia throughout the 1990s, recording lengthy interviews with elderly intellectuals in and around Jakarta. With few exceptions, they were part of an urban elite born under colonial rule and educated at Dutch schools. From the early twentieth century, through the late colonial era, the national revolution, and well into independence after 1945, these intellectuals injected their ideas of modernity, progress, and freedom into local and national discussion. When Mrázek began his interviews, ...
Anarchism in Latin America
The available material in English discussing Latin American anarchism tends to be fragmentary, country-specific, or focused on single individuals. This new translation of Ángel Cappelletti's wide-ranging, country-by-country historical overview of anarchism's social and political achievements in fourteen Latin American nations is the first book-length regional history ever published in English. With a foreword by the translator. Ángel J. Cappelletti (1927–1995) was an Argentinian philosopher who taught at Simon Bolivar University in Venezuela. He is the author of over forty works primarily investigating philosophy and anarchism. Gabriel Palmer-Fernandez is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Youngstown State University.
