 PREFACE

WELCOME FROM THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE

Good morning,
Greetings from Indonesia!

First of all, on behalf of the Organizing Committee, I would like to welcome all attendees
to the International Forum on Spice Route 2022. The 4th International Forum on Spice
Route is held as a collaboration between the Negeri Rempah Foundation and the Research
Center for Society and Culture, National Research and Innovation Agency. The
International Forum on Spice Route is also supported by the network of communities of
Negeri Rempah throughout Indonesia, as well as the support from national and
international institutions. IFSR welcomes participants from many parts of Indonesia and
abroad to share ideas, knowledge, and experiences about the Spice Route from multiple
dimensions.
For the first time after two years in a row being held online due to the covid
pandemic, IFSR is now held on a hybrid basis. For the first time, IFSR also invited public
participation through a call for papers, to contribute to enriching knowledge about the
Spice Route. With the theme "Revitalizing the Spice Routes: Answering Global
Challenges", IFSR would like to underline the importance of responding to the various
global challenges we face today. Thus, the context of the Spice Route transcends beyond
space and time. Reconstructing spice routes cannot be separated from the way current
people and communities make use and live on this historical global connectivity. Many
still think and argue that the routes are history, however, many researchers have proven
that these routes maintain important maritime connections that have changed their forms
and nature. To discuss and advocate the topic of spice routes in contemporary society, it
is time for us to start looking at the Spice Route from a contextual perspective so that it
is relevant in responding to contemporary challenges such as climate change, disaster

iii
relief and reconstruction, maritime affairs, food security, poverty alleviation, equality,
and various other global challenges.
IFSR 2022 invites the willingness of experts/resource persons from various
disciplinary backgrounds to share. Besides Indonesia, participants come over from
Australia, China, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Japan, and more. Therefore I
would like to express my highest appreciation to all the contributors who are willing to
share their knowledge and experience with us in this forum.
Last but not least, this annual community-based forum is held independently,
driven by volunteers with the spirit of collaboration or what we call "gotong-royong"
which puts forward the principle of volunteerism to foster learning traditions in
Indonesian society. Therefore, on behalf of the International Forum on Spice Route
organizing committee, I would like to once again express our great gratitude to our
partner, the Research Center for Society and Culture, National Research and Innovation
Agency. I would also like to thank the Institute of Social Science and Humanities National
Research and Innovation Agency, // Samudera Indonesia Foundation, // the Directorate
General of Culture - Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, // the
Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Beijing, // Dalian Maritime University of
Beijing, // Nalanda University India, // Rajaratnam School of International Studies, //
Climate Reality Indonesia, // and the Faculty of Social and Political Science, University
of Indonesia. Our appreciation to all the speakers, community partners and supporting
organizations, and all of the volunteers for their enthusiasm in supporting this program.
Without your support, this forum would not be made possible.

Thank you.

 WELCOMING REMARKS

Excellencies, Distinguished guests and speakers, dear colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen.

We are honoured to welcome you to the International Forum of Spice Route of 2022.
Indonesia's National Research and Innovation Agency, or BRIN, are proud to become
part of this important global forum this year. We would like to, first and foremost, thank
the Negeri Rempah Foundation for making this global forum collaboration possible.

As most of you are probably aware, since its birth in 2021, BRIN has had the vision to
build and enhance collaborations with academics, practitioners, businesses, and society
in general. We have a number of flagship research themes. While we discussed with
Negeri Rempah Foundation regarding the theme, we found similarities and closeness in
objectives and academic insights.

The discussion on Spice Routes goes beyond the mere debate on history, particularly the
period of colonialism when the European fought their way to secure the supply of primary
products of Southeast Asian and major Asian countries. In contemporary development,
the spice route is also about encounters, about how we connect globally.

Through our collaboration, we added a new format to the IFSR, which aims to 'reconnect'
and 'accumulate' knowledge regarding the theme of the spice route. We are well aware
that researchers, academics, students, and scholars do extensive scholarly works on the
spice route in every aspect imaginable and also those unthinking. This is the main reason
to accumulate this knowledge by calling all bright and different works to gather and
exchange knowledge through an open call conference.

It is incredible that through this event, we have gathered more than one hundred abstracts
of eager participants. But, unfortunately, we have to make choices. From around 120

v
received abstracts from different scholars of six different panel themes. To recap, we
received 28 abstracts for the First Panel on Identity, equality and globalisation, 17
abstracts on Sustainable development and natural diversity along the spice routes, 32
abstracts on Culture for creativity, innovation and livelihood, 3 abstracts on Disaster relief
& reconstruction, 36 abstracts on Seafaring & trading routes, and last but not least, 4
abstracts for the Sixth Panel on Fishers and fisheries. We believe that each of these works
is precious, which is also the reason we try to accommodate all in this 2022 conference.

We design an inclusive forum in which not only mature and tenured scholars participate,
but also young researchers and students share their works. The new arrangement consists
of a full paper presentation of 10 minutes talk, a flash presentation of a maximum of 3
minutes PowerPoint presentation, and a poster presentation to introduce different works
of young and mature scholars within the forum.

The participants' enthusiasm shows that we have a huge potential in working on this
theme and developing it further. We expect this accumulated knowledge to become the
capital to build a strong argument for the spice route as one important World Heritage
that we must preserve.

As scholars, we are responsible for disseminating our research and knowledge to a larger
audience, society, business people, and academics from around the globe. We can learn
that the spice route made encounters with different people of different places throughout
the world possible and conveyed a powerful message that this route made knowledge
exchange happen.

We hope this forum will last long; we have also begun to record all this accumulated
knowledge by creating an online proceeding for IFSR. With these efforts, we expect that
more scholars, academics, students, business people, and society, in general, can learn
more about different aspects of the spice route: its history, development, current
condition, and future possibilities.

vi
We at BRIN and the Negeri Rempah Foundation are honoured to have contributed to the
spice route, thanks to everyone who works hard behind the scenes and leaders who have
shown endless support to this event. I hope everyone is having a great week, I look
forward to the outcome of the conference deliberation.

Thank you!
