It made its first noticeable appearance in texts of the fourteenth century, disappeared for a while, and then resurfaced after hundreds of years, when it was (re)discovered in the early nineteenth and twenty-first centuries. This presentation explores how the meaning of \u2018nusantara\u2019 has changed over time. In 1334 Gadjah Mada, the chief minister of the Majapahit Empire, swore an oath (sumpah palapa)\u00a0 that he would conquer a number of kingdoms on the maritime fringes (the Nusantara) of the Majapahit Empire. The concept Nusantara re-emerged during the anti-colonial struggle, when it captured the imagination of writers, novelists, poets and politicians in Indonesia and British Malaya. The term eventually disappeared as a political concept from public debates, to resurface in the 1990s, when it became widely used to adorn company names,\u00a0 newspaper reports, policy briefs, scholarly articles, and political organisations. More recently, \u201cNusantara\u201d has become very popular throughout Southeast Asia with the emergence of a Nusantara Youth culture and \u201cIslam Nusantara\u201d. The paper concludes by drawing attention to the importance of a Malaysian Nusantara concept for settling disputes in the South China Sea.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Biodata<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Hans-Dieter Evers,\u00a0<\/strong>emeritus University Professor of Development Planning, Center for Development Research (ZEF), University of Bonn is Visiting Professor, IKMAS, UKM.
