Journal Article
The Indonesian State's Response to Migration
1999
Overview
This paper first sets emigration issues and policies within the historical context of Dutch colonial rule in which emigration from Java to the Outer Islands formed part of the \"Ethical Policy\". This is followed by a discussion of post-colonial emigration policies in which out-migration from Java continues to remain a key agenda and which reflects the persistence of dominant state and élite interests. The discussion also shows how transmigration from Java to the Outer Islands evolved from being a welfare tool of solving problems of overpopulation, poverty, and landlessness in Java, to one of economic development and regionalization even as it has negatively impacted indigenous populations. A third section discusses the patterns and characteristics of the international migration of Indonesian workers within state development plans. The paper concludes with a discussion of state responses towards this international migration by Indonesian workers, and makes the point that exodus looks set to continue in the light of deepening economic and political crises in the country.
