Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Wisconsin - Madison, 1998.

Developing states often form their first connections to the world's economy through natural resources. Some move beyond such basic exports and industrialize, whereas many others stagnate under a 'resource curse'. What explains which states achieve such transformations and when, where and how such states emerge? In answering this question, I choose Indonesia as a critical test case for state capacity in managing multiple extractive economies.

520 $a Developing states often form their first connections to the world's economy through natural resources. Some move beyond such basic exports and industrialize, whereas many others stagnate under a 'resource curse'. What explains which states achieve such transformations and when, where and how such states emerge? In answering this question, I choose Indonesia as a critical test case for state capacity in managing multiple extractive economies.
520 $a The approach I take combines elements of a commodity-based approach with its attention to physical, geographical and market-related characteristics; state-centered or institutionalist literature; and sectoral analysis. The oil sector exemplifies the capacity of the Indonesian state to garner economic rent, build downstream industries, and retain capital within the nation. This was possible because of the historical legacy of the Sukamo regime, the timing of Indonesia's entrance onto global markets during Japan's rise in the global oil industry.
520 $a In timber, Indonesian state capacity also relied on delayed entrance into Japanese markets, as well as the world's second largest tropical forest with high densities of commercial wood in accessible riverine topographies. The state showed its capacity by enforcing a log export ban in the early 1980s. Overcoming the competitive tendencies of plywood markets required an alliance between timber firms and the state in a marketing oligopoly, the Indonesian Wood Panel Association (Apkindo). Unfortunately, the alliance undermined state capacity domestically to build an efficient plywood industry, to collect rents as high as the oil sector, or--given the diffuse and remote nature of forests--to control the deleterious effects of logging on the local environment or social groups. Because of its more divisible nature, the state has used timber to allocate patronage that the state's leaders can use when needed.
520 $a This dissertation provides insight into how states can be both predatory and developmental, but lead one to be cautious about how development is defined. Rather than modernization theory assumptions of development as industrialization, we see that states can be capable of overcoming commodity-based obstacles while creating 'development' that only benefits the state's leaders and those close to them.
