Highlights

Genesis and nemesis of the first Dutch colonial empire in Asia and South Africa, 1596-1811 / by Gerrit Knaap.  Leiden; Boston: Brill, 2023.

Call no: JV2515 K67

“Based upon a sweeping command of Dutch East India Company (VOC) primary sources, Knaap’s manuscript offers a thought-provoking thematic examination and chronological survey of the Dutch Republic’s overseas and colonial expansion in Asia and South Africa, mainly through the VOC and its successors, the Batavian Republic, the Kingdom of Holland and Franco-Dutch Java, over a period of more than two centuries, 1596-1811.” — Publisher.


Civil society elites: field studies from Cambodia and Indonesia / edited by Astrid Norén-Nilsson, Amalinda Savirani, Anders Uhlin.  Copenhagen: NIAS Press, 2023.

Call no: HN690.8 Z9E4C58

This innovative volume is the first systematic study of civil society elites in Southeast Asia (and indeed anywhere in the world). Spanning two previously separate areas of research – civil society and elites – it sheds new light on power inequalities within and beyond civil society, identifies different types of elite formation and elite interaction within and beyond civil society, and traces interactions and integration with elite groups from party politics, the state, and the business sector. — Publisher.
