“…The practices and experiences of agrarian reform in other countries, such as Brazil (Fitz, 2018;Robles, 2018;Vilpoux et al, 2021) , India (Balyan, 2019;Basole, 2022;Chatterjee, 2021;Gulati et al, 2020;Kumar, 2020), the Philippines (Lanzona Jr, 2019;Mendoza, n.d.;Riedinger, 2018) and South Africa (Akinola, 2018;Dlamini & Ogunnubi, 2018;Gwiriri et al, 2019), can provide lessons and inspiration for Indonesia in implementing agrarian reform. These countries have different conditions and characteristics, but have the same goal, which is to create justice and welfare for the people through agrarian reform.…”

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the development of Indonesian law in the digital era, focusing on the impact of technology on the legal and judicial system, law enforcement challenges, and personal data protection.. Theoretical Framework: This research is grounded in theories of legal modernization and cyberlaw. The study examines how technological advancements influence legal structures and practices, providing a solid basis for understanding the evolution of Indonesia's legal system in the digital age. Method: The methodology adopted for this research comprises a qualitative, descriptive-analytical approach. Data collection was conducted through literature reviews of journals, books, legal regulations, and reports from related institutions. Results and Discussion: The results revealed significant changes due to technology, including the digitization of legal documents, the establishment of e-courts, and the development of cyberlaw, which have increased efficiency and accessibility. However, challenges such as the classification of cyber offenses and inadequate regulations to keep pace with technological advancements were identified. The discussion contextualizes these findings within the theoretical framework, highlighting the implications and relationships identified, and considers potential discrepancies and limitations of the study. Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research include insights into improving legal processes and law enforcement in the digital era. These implications could impact regulatory frameworks and law enforcement practices in Indonesia..

“…The Green Revolution paradigms “drew upon available methods and Indian expertise,” including agricultural research stations, experimentations with changing diets, and conjoined efforts to “uplift the village and the self.” As happened in Mexico and would be the case in Turkey, it was a new class of wealthy farmers that benefited from the new technologies when the Congress Party moved away from redistributionist proposals for land reform and Dalit (“lowest caste”) communities remained disproportionately affected by ongoing hunger and malnutrition (Siegel, 2018: 6, 79, 218). As with Colombia and Mexico, these processes had roots in colonial debates and projects of agrarian improvement, resource management, and self-help (Kumar, 2020).…”

This article argues that biopolitical infrastructures have been central features of Turkey’s ongoing colonization of Kurdish territories and populations and that the Green Revolution, despite its promise of progress and abundance, needs to be understood as part of this history of racialized state-making. In doing so, it joins recent literature that uncovers the local roots of the Green Revolution in domestic politics and land struggles in the global south, also revealing the entwined histories of accumulation and colonial and racial dispossession with agricultural norms and practices. Drawing on research in the records of the Economic Cooperation Administration, US Agency for International Development, Rockefeller Foundation Archives, Turkish parliamentary debates, and contemporaneous journals, I show how the Green Revolution can in fact be retold as an episode in a longer history of struggles over the distribution and use of land, the construction of agricultural infrastructures, and how these questions have been complicated by class, ethnic, racial, gender, and political divisions. The paper thus situates Turkey in a transnational history of agrarian development, while also relating the adoption of high yield seeds, pesticides, and grain cultivation to projects of land consolidation, internal colonialism, and racialized methods of state formation.

“…Yet the presence of Hydrick in the Netherlands Indies was important for other reasons, too. With regard to American Presbyterian missionaries at the Allahabad Agricultural Institute, India, in the era of late colonialism, Prakash Kumar (2020) has argued that the American approach to rural education in the colonial context had features which made it distinctive from the British colonial state. Inspired by an early campaign against hookworm in the southern United States, these missionaries emphasized learning by doing, self-help and self-reliance, and a small-scale approach.…”

This article presents a history of decolonization and its politics of knowledge by examining rural reconstruction programs in the first decade of Indonesian independence. It traces the roots of Indonesia’s first two agricultural development schemes to late-colonial criticism of state policy. In these criticisms and schemes, “auto-activity” emerged as a key concept. This paper argues that in the writings of planners and politicians, “auto-activity” facilitated the process of decolonization in various ways. The notion of auto-activity affirmed Indonesian know-how over foreign technical assistance; those who developed it would overcome subjective legacies of colonial subjugation; it encouraged the institutionalization of a benevolent state that helped rural communities to help themselves, and would thus contribute to the materialization of a fair and just society. This article concludes that despite these practices of decolonization, programs of “auto-activity” also opened up possibilities to overrule farmers’s individual choices in new ways.
