The Social and Economic Dimensions of Raden Intan II's Resistance from the Perspective of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS)
Keywords:
Raden Intan II, IPAS, local colonialism, socio-economic structureAbstract
This study aims to analyze Raden Intan II's resistance against Dutch colonialism in Lampung, emphasizing the social and economic dimensions from a Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) perspective. The focus of the study is directed at how the social structure of Lampung society and the colonial economic structure created conditions of inequality that encouraged the emergence of local resistance. This study uses a qualitative approach with a historical-analytical study design. Data were obtained through a literature review of history books, scientific journal articles, and relevant academic documents, then analyzed using thematic-structural analysis to reveal the relationship between social structures, economic systems, and collective community actions. The results show that Dutch colonialism operated as a socio-economic structure that disrupted the system of kingdoms and clans through the monopoly of the pepper trade, land control, and tax policies that burdened the people. These conditions triggered economic inequality and weakened the social sovereignty of the Lampung community. In this context, the resistance led by Raden Intan II cannot be understood solely as an individual heroic act, but rather as a rational and collective response to systemic structural pressures. The research conclusion confirms that Lampung's local history has strategic value as an object of contextual and critical IPAS analysis, and shows that IPAS can function as a scientific framework for understanding the relationship between humans, the economy, social structures, and power in the dynamics of local colonialism
