Excerpt from The Policy and Administration of the Dutch in Java
For permission to use parts of two articles on the culture system, which I published originally in the Yale Review in 1900, I am indebted to colleagues on the editorial board of that journal.

The Policy and Administration of the Dutch in Java (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the political and administrative history of Java, focusing on the period of Dutch colonial rule between the 16th and 19th centuries. It examines the complex political landscape of the time, marked by absolute monarchies and vassal territories, revealing the weaknesses and corruption inherent in the native political structure. The author argues that this internal instability allowed the Dutch East India Company to establish economic and political dominance in the region. The book offers a detailed account of the East India Company's policies and the often disastrous effects of their commercial practices on the native population, shedding light on the profound impact of European colonialism on Javanese society. Through meticulous research and analysis, the author challenges the romanticized view of the native political organization, arguing instead that the system was characterized by personal absolutism, arbitrary rule, and a lack of concern for the welfare of its subjects. This nuanced and insightful work provides a comprehensive understanding of Java's colonial past and its lasting legacy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331485056_0
