SUMMARY:(P21) Corruption in colonial and postcolonial histories of empire and nations in Southeast Asia in the 20 th and 21 st centuries
LOCATION:K10 | 3.39
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary corruption in Southeast Asia is regularly linked t
 o the history of colonial state formation. How these two relate has not sys
 tematically been researched. This session takes as a starting point a Dutch
 -Indonesian project on the role of corruption in Dutch and Indonesian histo
 ries of state-formation and economic development, and has invited discussan
 ts who are experts of other Southeast Asian regions to reflect on the first
  findings, and this theme in a broader sense. Doing so, the aim of this ses
 sion is twofold: to discuss some early results from the Dutch-Indonesian re
 search project and to evaluate the role of corruption discourses in critica
 lly understanding Southeast-Asian colonial and postcolonial state-building 
 and economic processes from a comparative perspective. The session explores
  the contexts of corruption as a normative framework to create, maintain an
 d challenge exclusive power structures in colonial and post independent pro
 cesses of state formation. It does so at intersecting moments of entangleme
 nt: around 1900 (late colonial state, norm-setting debates among the coloni
 zers); around WWII (independence, debates on good governance of the anti-co
 lonial nationalists against colonialism); during the Cold War (the authorit
 arian state, and the conditional norms of development aid); post-1990 (tran
 snational corruption; global corruption indices). Questions that will be ad
 dressed include:\n\n- What role did corruption and anticorruption play in t
 he development of a colonial normativity both in the colonies and in Europe
  in the late 19th and 20th centuries?\n- How were discursive stereotypes an
 d anticorruption policies used to (de)legitimize institutions?\n- What role
  did (anti-)corruption discourses play in Southeast Asia during the Cold Wa
 r?\n- What is the connection between colonial political structures and cont
 emporary notions of corruption?\n- What do today’s indices show in terms of
  governance; what is the weight of the past, and which past?
