Abstract

This study examines the changes in political institutions that have taken place in the Special Region of Jogjakarta (a province of Central Java) subsequent to the Dutch colonial period, that is, commencing with the Japanese occupation period (1942-1945) and continuing through the Indonesian national revolution. The outlines of the Dutch colonial system are sketched. Changes in administrative structure, in economic and educational institutions, and in the class system are described and their relation to the primary changes in the political institutions of Jogjakarta since the Dutch period are traced. The author, a trained sociologist, is a native of Jogjakarta who worked as an officer in the region’s administrative service for almost fifteen years, and his attitude with respect to Javanese self-government seems somewhat biased and propagandistic.
