Abstract

This paper discusses the differential social structure activities of Dutch Businessmen or VOC, Chinese Clerks and Javanese Shipowners. After the disintegration of the Mataram Kingdom in the 18th century, it had an impact on the economic activities of the middle class of non-European traders on the North Coast of Java. The decline of the maritime trade situation in the 17th century in Southeast Asia in general and in Java in particular was caused by the VOC's military economic monopoly intervention pattern and agrarian kingdoms that did not pay attention to trade shipping. This writing uses a qualitative method with a socio-historical approach. This writing uses Mahan's theory that a strong maritime state must have a strong navy. This can be seen how the VOC maximized the military potential of its navy in dominating trade shipping on the North Coast of Java. Since then Java has been characterized by a rejection of the weak merchant class. The king of Java's choice to pull the economic center to the south also influenced the VOC's trade dominance on Java's North Coast. However, the economic pressure of the VOC slowly led to the emergence of a middle class that came from outside the rule of the royal class. This middle class was filled by Madurese captains alongside Javanese Nahkoda, as well as Chinese merchants, for the latter were considered tenacious despite often having strong trade relations with the Dutch or the VOC marking the discourse on the dynamics of trade and shipping in port cities on the North Coast of Java.

Abstract

This article aims to analyse the socio-economic dynamics and the role of the sultanate in developing Karangantu Port as an international trade centre in Java. During the 16th-18th centuries, Karangantu Port played a role in replacing Malacca as the centre of trade in Southeast Asia. This study employs historical methods, including the heuristic, verification, interpretation, and historiography stages, supported by a socio-economic historical approach. The results of the study show that the strategic location of Karangantu Port and its well-organised infrastructure attracted foreign traders, making it a cosmopolitan trading centre. The rapid growth of trading activities at this port was supported by sultanate policies, such as free trade, infrastructure development, and diplomatic relations with other kingdoms. The livelihoods of the people of Banten, including farmers, fishermen, craftsmen, and traders, contributed to the port's economic growth. Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa's efforts to expand Banten's influence and prevent Dutch monopoly, although ultimately unsuccessful due to internal conflicts, demonstrate the port's importance in the regional maritime trade network. Banten's rise as an economic centre, facilitated by the growth of Karangantu Port, benefited the pepper trade as a major commodity, attracting foreign merchants. The development of this port was also influenced by the fall of Malacca to the Portuguese in 1511, which diverted the spice trade route through the Sunda Strait. The role of Karangantu Port as an international transit port allowed traders from various countries and cultures to participate in trading activities, shaping the socio-economic landscape of the Sultanate of Banten from the 16th to 18th centuries AD.
