14Colonialism
- large-scale land ownership by big capitalists,
especially foreign capital - exploitation of natural resources intensively for
export purposes - the mobilization of cheap labor through the labor
market flexibility.
15Investment History
- Mercantilism (1600-1800) through VOC, the
biggest trading company in Dutch, Nusantara (Now
Indonesia) had been rough colonialized. Slavery
(rodi), cultivation, which mobilized worker under
pressure, in order to supply spices to Europe. - Liberal Colonialism (1870-1930) the
participation of foreign investment to companies
in Indonesia which cover agriculture,
plantation, mining and refinery sector. The
resources are mobilized to developed countries in
Europe in purpose of industrialization.
Indonesian people have been in the crisis
situation. The teritorry of Indonesia including
Java and Sumatra become primary source, while
areas outside of Java are only of administrative
power. - Neocolonialism (1967-2009) right now, the
foreign investment is controlling all over
Indonesia Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan and
Sulawesi, also including small island. The
foreign investment has covered all sectors
agriculture, plantation, mineral mining, and coal
mining, oil and trade, finance and services. - The development of Indonesias policy about
investment in line with the need of developed
countries for raw materials and the market for
surplus of production. The act No.1, 1967 about
the foreign investment, then act No. 5, 1967
about forestry and act No.11, 1967 about mining,
start exploitation of forest and mining in
Indonesia by foreign capital in big scale.
16Incentives for investment
- The Law no. 25. 2007 about investment in
Indonesia gives facility and incentive to the
bigger investment especially in foreign capital. - Investment is practiced based on equal treatment
with no differentiate to the origin Country. - All kinds of trading are open to the investment,
excluding some sectors that are not important to
Indonesia economy. - The investment giving the incentive tax like
income taxes, fiscal taxes for capital, engine,
or equipment, the free tax for raw material,
value add tax, the acceleration of amortisation
and property tax. - The investors can flow the asset into another
party according to the term and condition of law.
The investor had a right to transfer and
repatriate on the foreign exchange. - Service and or right license for land by foreign
party on the long term (95 years) is very
investor-friendly in Indonesia. In fact, the
previous law gives only 70 years.

32GDP and Consumption
- Indonesias GDP is contributed by the big
consumption, foreign investment, and government
expenditure and netto export, a half of which
come from natural resources such as oil and
gas, mineral, coal and plantation commodities. - The consumption supports over 70 of Indonesias
GDP, which are mass consumption, government and
companys consumption - The value of Indonesian oil consumption in 2007
was 2,285,189.74 rupiahs per capita per month
(total of Indonesian population reached 220
million people). Thus oil consumption equals to
72 percent of per capita food consumption in
Indonesia.

36FDI and Employment
- The number of labors in all kinds of foreign
investments are 608 thousand people, and of the
domestic investment are 364 thousand people or
just 1 from 94 billion of labor in all kinds of
economic sector in the year of 2005. - Most of labors in informal sector which doesnt
have relation with the investment in Indonesia.
From the total of 95,117 million labor in
Indonesia 2006 in all kinds of economic sector,
59,104 million work on the informal sector or
almost 62,09 from the total employed.
37Conclusion
- Indonesias Position on the chain of global trade
has not been moved since 200 years ago. This
country is the source of mineral, gas, and
plantation in order to support industry in the
developed country. On the other hand, domestic
economy moves into de industrialization. - The entrance of big scale investment makes threat
to the livelihoods of farmers. The case study
held by IGJ relate to the mining investments of
Newmont Corporation, Lombok Tourism Development
Corporation and the making of Special Economic
Zone Batam, show that big scale of investment
causes taking over of farmers land areas, taking
of natural resources and taking the benefit by
foreign capital and ecological impact and social
conflict. - Large scale of investment makes the access of
community vanish to the natural resources
especially the productivity of community
decrease. As a result, Indonesia becomes
importer of food such as rice, soybean, meat,
milk, wheat, sugar, salt on the big amount.
Before that case, this food products can be
produced by domestic farmers. Case study of West
Nusa Tenggara found per capita income amounted to
5,500 rupiahs per day, that is below the poverty
line stated by World Bank (USD 1- 2 in a day) - And last, overall the economic liberalization
through WTO and FTA make the loss of access of
farmers, labor, and small scale economy to the
natural resources and market
38Solution
- Agrarian Reform Indonesian society needs real
agrarian reform in the form of land distribution,
agriculture production tools, capital, technology
and access to the price and market in order to
increase their income. - National Industrialization In the last 20
years, Indonesian economy entered
de-industrialization phase where more than 70
percent component of Indonesian industry came
from import. National industry grew in a form of
footloose industry. Indonesia has experienced
deindustrialization before reaching the phase of
industrialization. Thus, to build strong economic
structure, it needs good industrial policy. - Protection dan Subsidy at production level and
productivity in which farmers need subsidy from
the state, WTO and FTA cause farmer s access to
market and natural resources to decline.
Protection and subsidy should be provided by the
government.
