10. Summary of thesis results:
By describing and analyzing the history of the birth, development and characteristics of the plantation economy in the Dutch East Indies colony (1870-1942), the thesis provides a clear view of a typical colonial economic model in Southeast Asia. The plantation economy in the Dutch East Indies colony originated from the period of the Dutch East India Company (VOC), developed in the late 19th century - early 20th century, playing a major role throughout the history of the colonial economy. The development and expansion of the plantation contributed to promoting and shaping Dutch colonialism. Meanwhile, the deep connection of the plantation economy with the international economy during this period caused great changes in the socio-economics of the East Indies colony, whose legacy had a profound impact on the economic history of Indonesia in the modern period.
11. Practical application
Analyze and explain the strong development of the plantation economy in the period from 1870 to 1942 and its relationship with the development of the Dutch colonial regime in the East Indies colony (present-day Indonesia). The thesis can be a research and teaching document on world history and the history of modern Southeast Asia, contributing to the comparison and clarification of the history of the plantation economy in other colonial countries in the region, including Vietnam.
12. Further research directions:
From the case study of plantation economy in Indonesia during the colonial period, in the future, the research direction may be to analyze in depth and compare plantation economies in Southeast Asian countries during the colonial period, expanding to the socio-economic history of the region in the modern period.
