10. Summary of the thesis results:
By describing and analyzing the history of the origin, development, and characteristics of the plantation economy in the Dutch East Indies (1870-1942), this thesis provides a clear view of a typical colonial economic model in Southeast Asia. The plantation economy in the Dutch East Indies originated during the Dutch East India Company (VOC) era, developing in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and playing a key role throughout the history of the colonial economy. The development and expansion of plantations contributed to the promotion and shaping of Dutch colonialism. Meanwhile, the deep links of the plantation economy with the international economy during this period caused significant socio-economic transformations in the East Indies, the legacy of which has had a profound impact on the economic history of Indonesia in the modern and contemporary periods.
11. Practical applications
This thesis analyzes and explains the rapid development of plantation economics during the period from 1870 to 1942 and its connection to the development of Dutch colonial rule in the East Indies (present-day Indonesia). The thesis can serve as a research and teaching resource on world history and modern-contemporary Southeast Asian history, contributing to a comparative analysis and clarification of the history of plantation economics in other colonial countries in the region, including Vietnam.
12. Directions for further research:
Based on the case study of plantation economics in colonial Indonesia, future research could focus on in-depth analysis and comparison of plantation economies in Southeast Asian countries during the colonial period, extending to the socio-economic history of the region in the modern and contemporary periods.

Plantation economy in the Netherland East Indies, originated during Dutch East India Company (VOC) period and developed from the end of 19th to early 20th century, played a vital role throughout the history of the colonial economy; while the development shaped itself Dutch modern imperialism. The deep connection and integration of plantation economy with the world economy at large had major influence on the socio-economy of the Netherland East Indies, of which consequences are still deeply felt in modern Indonesian economic history.

Therefore the thesis could be used as teaching material in world history and modern Southeast Asian history, or as material for comparative research on plantation economies in the region, including Vietnam.
