Summary, in English
The study is based on statistical data form Yogyakarta and also policy documents and interviews with farmers and local civil servants. This gives a good picture of the transformation process and also the driving forces behind it.
The findings show that the villages, and the province, chosen for this study mirror the development for Java as a whole. It is interesting to see that the state has played a crucial role, both positively and negatively, in the transformation process. In a sense the state has forcefully modernised the agricultural sector but failed to create a broad base for continued agricultural development and as a consequence the rapid change of the late 1970s is replaced with a much slower development throughout the remainder of the Suharto regime.
