"Disertasi ini membahas tentang jaringan maritim Mandar dari pelabuhan "kembar" Pambauwang dan Majene di Selat Makassar. Terdapat tiga pertanyaan penelitian. Pertama, pola jaringan seperti apa yang terbentuk dari pelabuhan kembar pada periode 1900-1940; kedua, bagaimana fungsi pelabuhan kembar di tengah perubahan politik 1941-1951; ketiga, mengapa terjadi kemerosotan jaringan maritim Mandar 1952-1980. Untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut, studi ini menggunakan kategori pelabuhan dari Leong Sau Heng (1990) dan Susanto Zuhdi (1999). Berbagai sumber yang digunakan berupa sumber lokal (lontara Mandar), arsip, surat kabar, dan sejarah lisan. Ini adalah penelitian sejarah dengan pendekatan struktural dari Fernand Braudel (1972) yang dikembangkan Adrian B. Lapian (1986) dan R.Z. Leirissa (1990).Hasilnya adalah empat karakteristik jaringan maritim: pertama, keberadaan pelabuhan kembar yang saling mengisi dan bersaing; kedua, jangkauan pelayaran meliputi hampir seluruh perairan Nusantara, bahkan sampai Singapura, Malaysia, dan Filipina; ketiga, pola pelayaran yang terbentuk berupa pelayaran pantai, pelayaran selat, pelayaran lintas selat, dan pelayaran lintas laut; dan keempat, pola usaha yang dikembangkan terdiri atas pelayaran-perdagangan dan pelayaran. Karakteristik tersebut dijumpai dalam tiga fase sejarah: masa kejayaan (1900-1940), masa bertahan (1941-1951), dan masa kemerosotan (1952-1980). Eksistensi dan karakter jaringan maritim Mandar ditentukan oleh keberfungsian pelabuhan kembar di Selat Makassar.Dengan mengkaji jaringan masyarakat bahari, sejarah Indonesia tidak lagi dilihat dari geladak kapal VOC (J.C. van Leur) atau Neerlandocentric, tetapi dari perahu dan sudut pandang pelaut kita (Indonesia sentris). Peran pelaut Mandar, dalam mewujudkan negara maritim, sejauh ini terabaikan dalam sejarah. Karena itu, tujuan studi ini selain menerapkan perspektif Indonesia sentris, juga ruang bagi pelaut Mandar dalam penulisan sejarah maritim Indonesia.

This dissertation discusses the Mandarese maritime network of so-called "dual harbors" of Pambuawang and Majene in the Makassar Strait. Three research questions to be answered. First, network pattern had been developed since the first time the harbors made (1900-1940). Second, the functions of the harbors amidst of national political change (1941-1951). Third, why there was a decline in Mandar maritime network in 1952-1980?. In order to answer the questions, this study utilizes harbor categories developed by Leong Sau Heng (1990) and Susanto Zuhdi (1999). There are various resources to be employed, local manuscripts (lontara Mandar), official archives (both colonial and national), newspaper and oral history among others. This is historical research and using structural approach made by Fernand Braudel (1972) and further developed by Adrian B. Lapian (1986) and R. Z. Leirissa (1990).The results are four main characteristics of their networks. First, their complementing and competing functions. Second, reaching almost all parts of Indonesia and even Singapore, Malaysia and Phillippines. Third, their sea voyage patterns which include several types such as coastal, straits, straits crossing and seaborne crossing. Fourth, the developing pattern of ways in doing their business which comprises seaborne trade. It could be divide into three periods: rise (1900-1940), endure (1941-1951) and decline (1952-1980). The main function of the harbors led to the sustainability of the Mandarese maritime networks.By focusing on maritime network, Indonesian historiography is no longer being viewed from the deck of the Dutch ship (J. C. van Leur) or "neerlandocentric", but rather from prahu and Indonesian sailors' point of view or Indonesian perspective. The roles of Mandarese sailors in the making of maritime state, are somehow neglected. Therefore this study aiming to put it on Indonesian perspective and giving space for Mandarese sailors in Indonesian maritime historiography."

"The performance of the maritime industry of a country will determine the performance of its maritime security. The Indonesian maritime industry has been a victim of a policy that promotes trade much more than industry during the last 15 years and the consequence of a development that is too obsessed with growth at all cost during the last 40 years. Along with the reform of the TNI since 1998, in the 21st century, the national shipping fleet supported by the shipbuilding industry need to be designed to play a more significant role than mere supplementary or complementary to the navy fleet as a major component in the maritime security system. At present, the performance of TNI and the national shipping fleet as an important component of the maritime industry has not been capable to realise an effective maritime security. Many illegal activities in Indonesian waters including ones by foreign elements are rampant without sufficient response to prevent and control."
