"SOCIAL SCIENCE IN INDONESIA: ACTION AND REFLECTION IN ASEAN
                         PERSPECTIVE."
          November 24-26, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The seminar will be organized by the Amsterdam School for Social
Science Research (ASSR/CASA) in honour of the retiring Professor
Dr. S.M.P. Tjondronegoro (Agricultural Institute Bogor) who
started his career in Amsterdam.

The theme of the seminar is highly relevant today, not only in
Indonesia where 'Habibienomics' seems to be setting the tune for
social science performance. In other ASEAN countries , like
Malaysia and The Philippines, policies influencing the role and
position of the social sciences need attention as well.

On the basis of the position adapted by the speakers a plenary
discussion will take place in closed sessions of about 30-40
participants. The papers will be distributed in due time among
the participants.

The discussions will be held during the first two days (24-25
November). The third day of the seminar ( Friday 26 November)
will be open to the public and have a more festive character. A
general address by Professor Tjondronegoro and Mr. J.K.M.
Gervers, President of the Board of the University of Amsterdam,
will be followed by a reception in the honour of Professor
Tjondronegoro.
