The Emergence of a National Economy


Book Description

History matters. At the beginning of a new century and amidst the turmoil of a new democracy, a historical perspective on modern Indonesia is needed more than ever. This innovative economic history connects back to the colonial era and helps to explain why the transition from colonialism to Independence and from the New Order to democracy has been so difficult and sometimes traumatic. The Emergence of a National Economy identitifies three grand themes in this transformation: globalisation, state formation and economic integration. Globalisation affected the Indonesian archipelago even before the arrival of the Dutch—the New Order experience was only the most recent wave. Modern state formation began in Java under Governor-General Daendels (1808-11) and culminated in the centralised, military-bureaucratic state of Soeharto's New Order (1966-98). A national economy emerged gradually from the 1930s as the Outer Islands were reoriented towards an industrialising Java. These three themes link chronological chapters from the pre 1800 period through the modern colonial era to the breakdown of the colonial system after 1930, the birth of modern Indonesia, the remarkable economic transformation under the New Order, and the 'meltdown' during the Asian crisis of 1997/98. This overarching story gives a unity and rythm to Indonesia's modern history, while helping to explain why the future is likely to be different. The four authors—senior scholars from Australia (Howard Dick), Germany (Vincent Houben), the Netherlands (Thomas Lindblad) and Indonesia (Thee Kian Wie)—draw on a very wide range of sources to combine the insights of history, economic history and economics.

Angry Mobs and Founding Fathers


Book Description

Angry mobs launched the American Revolution when they protested against British acts of tyranny. These rebels threatened, harassed, and chased away British officials and Loyalists. The Founding Fathers agreed with the goals of these Patriots, but not with their methods. Fearing anarchy, the Founders channeled the passion of the mobs toward independence. Working together, the angry mobs and Founding Fathers defeated the mighty British army and won independence, but the new nation that emerged was anarchic and chaotic, much like the angry mobs themselves. Meeting behind closed doors, the Founding Fathers conspired to depose the Confederation government, wrote a new constitution, and created the world’s most successful republic. 'Angry Mobs and Founding Fathers' tells the little-known story of how these two groups fought for control of the American Revolution.




SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND ECOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ECONOMY OF UKRAINE IN THE CONDITIONS OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION


Book Description

The agricultural sector was and remains a key component of social development. The current state of the agricultural sector of Ukraine shows the imbalance of its development, when priority is given to the economic component with secondary environmental and social determinants. Theoretical substantiation and practical development and implementation of determinants of sustainable development of agricultural enterprises of the national economy, which combines both internal contradictions and external challenges, become particularly relevant. An important direction of the progressive reproduction of the agrarian sector of the national economy is the practical implementation of the concept of sustainable development adopted in Ukraine as a model in the context of state policy and the program of its pragmatic implementation at the level of individual economic entities. The dynamics of agrarian processes within the limits of certain constants - financial and economic, organizational, technical and technological, commercial, etc., as the most optimal at the relevant market stage, collectively reflects the principles of sustainable development in the sense of permanence, not static. Such measures will be possible under the condition of balancing the interests of society, the agricultural environment, a separate agricultural enterprise, man and the environment. The monograph indicates that the process of improving the sectoral structure of agricultural enterprises involves the implementation of certain measures that precede the determination of the main directions and ways of developing and implementing a mechanism for ensuring the optimization of the production structure when using agricultural land. It is impossible and impractical to determine the priority of one of the branches of agriculture. Since animal husbandry is based on plant products, the fodder base for which is hay, straw, green fodder, grain fodder and some other types of agricultural crops. In turn, animal husbandry waste, namely manure, is used in crop production as organic fertilizers, which ensure the improvement of soil quality indicators and the yield of agricultural crops. At the same time, it should also be noted the undeniably important role of crop production in the social life of a person as a whole. This territory provides the population with food products and raw materials for the processing industry, including food, pharmaceutical, light, woodworking, etc. In today's realities, the problem of ensuring the financial security of the enterprise is urgent. This problem is especially acute in the conditions of the current global economic and financial crisis. Today, in the conditions of an unstable political situation, economic crisis, martial law in the country and a drop in the solvent demand of the population, domestic enterprises suffer from significant financial problems. The financial activity of the enterprise is associated with many risks, the degree of influence of which on the results of its activity increases significantly with the transition to a market economy. The risks accompanying this activity are allocated to a separate group of financial risks, which play a dominant role in the general "risk portfolio" of the enterprise. The increase in the degree of influence of financial risks on the results of the company's financial activity is associated with rapid changes in the economic situation in the country and on the financial market, the expansion of the sphere of financial relations, the emergence of new financial technologies and tools. Risks arise in the field of corporate relations with banks and other financial institutions and are associated with the probability of loss of funds or their non-receipt. It is emphasized that at the current stage of the development of the world economy, the integration of Ukraine into the European space, great attention is paid to the effective functioning of the enterprise, which in turn depends on the quality of products. Ignoring this factor, it is difficult to create optimal conditions for the development of any trade, sales and profitability of enterprises. Improving the quality system of enterprises' goods in modern conditions is a complex and urgent task that requires an immediate solution. The long-term course of sustainable development of the enterprise should be aimed at achieving not so much quantitative indicators as qualitative ones, therefore, the heads of enterprises should pay attention to the development of measures to increase competitiveness and reach the international level. The construction, implementation and certification of an integrated product quality management system will provide them with a number of competitive advantages and confidence in the level of production and service that meets international standards and is able to win in competition on the domestic and foreign markets. Scientific research was carried out within the framework of the research initiative topic "Organizational and economic aspects of the development of agroecosystems on the basis of ecologization of the economy" of the Vinnytsia National Agrarian University, state registration number: 0121U112882 for 2021-2024. Greening of production is possible under the conditions of development of business relations of business entities and use of rural areas. In the conditions of a competitive economy, the main factor in the assessment of economic activity is efficiency, which allows determining the need for material, labor and financial resources. Taking into account the instability of the global economy, its impact on the economies of the world's leading countries, the need to plan and manage the development processes of enterprise activities by preserving and increasing the potential of rural areas is of particular importance. Greening is an important influencing factor that determines the characteristics of the distribution of both material, labor, and financial resources. Thus, there is a need to create and gradually develop the environment for the functioning of enterprises in rural areas, which will allow optimizing their activities based on the principles of achieving efficiency: choosing the most important types of activities in agriculture; to increase the volume of production; cost regulation, including labor costs. The work uses general methods of modern rational and empirical systemology. The obtained results are substantiated by the fundamental principles of dialectics and systematic analysis of phenomena and processes. The work is formed on the basis of the methodology of research on the impact of greening on the development of enterprises and rural areas, in particular, taking into account the organizational and economic mechanism of the disposal of agricultural waste as a component of energy security. The basis of the study is the hypothesis of the formation of the environment for the functioning of enterprises engaged in activities in agriculture, forestry and fisheries, taking into account the characteristics of rural areas in the conditions of environmentalization, optimization of cause-and-effect relationships, adaptation and historical development. The study of resource management of agricultural enterprises and rural areas in the conditions of greening will be conducted on the basis of functional and process approaches. The main methods are methods of quantitative comparison, system analysis, methods of statistical evaluation, methods of economic-mathematical modeling, methods of decision-making theory. In the formation of separate theoretical propositions, in the process of fulfilling the assigned tasks, general scientific methods were used, such as: scientific abstraction, morphological analysis, generalization, decomposition and systematization, etc.







The New Cambridge History of Islam: Volume 5, The Islamic World in the Age of Western Dominance


Book Description

Volume 5 of The New Cambridge History of Islam examines the history of Muslim societies from 1800 to the present. Francis Robinson, a leading historian of Islam, has brought together a team of scholars with a broad range of expertise to explore how Muslims responded to the challenges of Western conquest and domination across the last two-hundred years. As their articles reveal, the social, economic, political and historical circumstances which influenced these responses have, in many different parts of the world, empowered Muslim societies and encouraged transformation and religious revival. The volume offers a fascinating glimpse into the local dimensions of that revival and how regional connections have been forged. Synthesising the academic research of the past thirty years, as well as offering substantial guidance for further study, this book is the starting-point for all those who wish to have a serious understanding of modern Muslim societies.
