Mlipir: The Genesis within Relations of Production between Industrial Sector and Rural Society
Abstract: This paper examines
how the interactions between industrial development actors in rural setting
reflect the internal dynamics of Third World countries that maintain dependence
on developed countries. The diverse discussion on the impact of
industrialization which mostly emphasized on particular issues is difficult to
depict the comprehensive situation on the impacted society. Further analysis
which recognized the existence of the mutual relations among state, market, and
society is necessary to best describe the invisible but essential impact of
industrialization. Thus, this paper argues that inequality is the essential
impact of industrialization which has been emerged in various form of social
system as the consequences of the relation of production between local elites and
market economy actors in all level of development. Through analyzing the case
of particular system of production called
mlipir system which emerged and perpetuated within
relations of production in the plywood industrial development area, the study found
that the interactions of national actors and local actors who have aligned
interests with the global imperialism have perpetuated particular group of
people who remain in poverty despite actively conduct production activities.
