| Research Abstract |
This project main goal was to explore the socio-cultural structures and dynamics in the 20th century Wallacean world that includes the southern parts of the Philippines, Sabah in Malaysia and the eastern parts of Indonesia. It especially focused on the everyday life of maritime peoples of the area, the maritime networks that developed there, and the kinds of border policing that the governments of Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines tried to implement to regulate these communities and networks.
The research team conducted individual and join field investigations and archives research. Members of the team also exchanged findings and analyses with members of the Indonesian Institute of Science. In these exchanges with our Indonesian colleges, we presented the following points :
1) a historical outline of the major themes of the research, i.e., the interaction between everyday life of peoples there and policing in these regions
2) the development of resident registration and immigration control,
3) changes in the livelihood activities of people and communities, the flow and outcomes of migration within the Wallacrea region, and the impact of the use of resources related to development policy.
In the March 2004, seven members of the project presented and discussed the result of research conducted in the three years at an international workshop in Jakarta. The presentation aimed at sharing the team's growing understanding of the socio-economic and culture dynamics in the Wallacean world, particularly as these related to the enclosure of lands and seas by modern states and by colonization or nationalization of peoples' lives.
