印度尼西亚不需要介绍对世界大米市场感兴趣的商品经济学家，也不需要介绍对结构变化和农业在经济发展中的作用感兴趣的发展经济学家。在半个世纪里，印度尼西亚已经从一个主要的大米出口国转变为世界上最大的商业大米和特许权大米进口国。通过博克的著作，印度尼西亚成为阐明二元论的典范，二元论这个概念渗透到发展经济学的几乎所有方面。这一系列关于亚洲大米政策的文章以印度尼西亚的文章开头是合适的。讨论的进展很直截了当。在回顾了印尼水稻文化的农学和经济背景之后，讨论了水稻政策的历史，这段历史可以追溯到17世纪。随着对现代稻米政策的讨论，人们试图明确目标、政策和制约因素之间的相互作用。我们的目标是了解是什么推动了这一体系，压倒一切的目标是什么，以及哪些约束最密切地制约了政策选择。文章最后对现代印尼的稻米政策进行了评价，并对其进行了预测，初步否定了潜伏在任何有关印尼稻米政策的讨论背景中的历史决定论。
Indonesia needs no introduction to commodity economists interested in the world rice market, or to development economists interested in structural change and the role of agriculture in economic development. In half a century, Indonesia has been transformed from a leading exporter of rice to the world's largest importer of both commercial and concessional rice. And through the writings of Boeke, Indonesia has served as the model for the elucidation of dualism, a concept that permeates nearly all aspects of development economics. It is appropriate to lead this sequence of articles on rice policy in Asia with the Indonesian essay. The development of the discussion is straightforward. Following a review of the agronomic and economic setting of Indonesian rice culture is a discussion of the history of rice policy, a history dating back to the seventeenth century. With the discussion of modern rice policy comes an attempt to make explicit the interaction of objectives, policies, and constraints. The goal is to understand what drives the system, what the overriding objectives are, and which constraints most closely condition the policy choices. The essay closes with an evaluation of modern Indonesian rice policy and a prognosis that tentatively rejects the historical determinism that constantly lurks in the background of any discussion of rice policy in Indonesia.
