Current Research Interests

  2. The possibility of sustainable humanosphere development in Indonesia
  3. Small-scale businesses in the development of the Indonesian economy

Indonesian labor union SBJ, organized afterthe fall of Suharto

I have employed both institutional and historical approaches in my study of the Indonesian economy as well as the area study approach when examining land, labor, and capital as integral parts of the economy. My research interest also includes studying the development and the role of people’s organizations, and how social capital is attained or lost in communities.
I have conducted a number of case studies on the non-farm sector and rural industries in the Indonesian countryside, the results of which have been published in my book Community-Based Industry in Indonesia: What Is a Path to the Recovery of Asian Economies? (Kyoto University Press, 1999). This study delved into the characteristics of community-based industry, which is the main form of small-scale industry in Indonesia. One of its findings point to "regional units like neighboring households, neighboring organizations, hamlets, and administrative villages [as forming the] social basis to some extent for the development of economic networks of the people who participated in the community-based industries.”
My research on rural industrialization, published in Rural Industrialization in Indonesia: A Case Study of Community-Based Weaving Industry in West Java (IDE, 1996), likewise showed that rural industry and the non-firm sector improved income distribution among rural peoples, but did not change the income distribution hierarchy.
