Abstract

This article discusses the existence of peasants during three eras with different powers. During the Dutch and the Japanese colonialism, it can be said that peasant is a profession that must be avoided because it will become an object of exploitation by those in power. During Dutch rule in Indonesia, the policies that exploited peasants were ‘culturstelseel’ (the forced planting system) and the 1870 Agrarian Law. These two policies made peasants even more impoverished, the lands that formerly owned peasants were forcibly taken away to plant commodities that were in demand on the world market and the profits went into their pockets ruler. During the Japanese colonialism, an obligation to produce rice made peasants increasingly tormented because they had to pursue predetermined targets. During The independence, the peasants were embraced by political parties until they were transformed into mass organizations. Although there has been some progress in the national agrarian political agenda, differences in ideology and interests have resulted in conflicts and struggles between peasant mass organizations, and even with civil society.

Abstract

This study examines the agrarian conflict between transmigrant farmers in Jambi Province and PT. Kaswari Unggul from a social-historical perspective. The research investigates how the New Order's transmigration policy in the 1980s shaped patterns of land ownership, social change, and agrarian tension in Sukamaju Village, East Tanjung Jabung Regency. Using a critical historical approach combined with qualitative case studies, the data were collected through in-depth interviews, contemporary media analysis, and literature review. The findings reveal that the transmigration program, initially designed to promote equitable population distribution and agricultural productivity, instead generated structural inequalities and land disputes between local communities and private plantation companies. The state's developmental agenda, framed within modernization and economic growth narratives, failed to protect the rights and welfare of transmigrant farmers. The persistence of agrarian conflicts illustrates the long-term social impact of the New Order’s policies, which continue to influence rural dynamics and peasant struggles in Jambi today.

Abstract

This article examines the socio-economic impacts of agrarian exploitation during the Dutch East Indies period by positioning irrigation systems as a central instrument of colonial agricultural policy. From the implementation of the forced cultivation system (cultuurstelsel) to the era of economic liberalization, the expansion of irrigation networks functioned not merely as technical infrastructure but as a mechanism of control over land, labor, and agrarian production among indigenous communities. This study employs historical research methods, including source collection (heuristics), source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, drawing upon colonial archival materials, technical reports of the Dutch East Indies government, and relevant historiographical studies. The findings reveal that while colonial irrigation development increased agricultural productivity and generated economic surplus for the colonial state, it simultaneously intensified labor exploitation, reinforced social inequality, and marginalized indigenous irrigation systems. The legacy of colonial irrigation infrastructure continues to shape contemporary water management practices and agrarian relations in Indonesia.
