- Abstract
Piracy may be defined as an offense that consists of acts of pillage and violence upon the high seas which, on land, would amount to a felony. Whereas a pirate has generally been described as a rover and robber upon the sea there has, however, been much more (scholarly) attention in research and writing the history of piracy in Indonesia. It has been known that the fact of piracy has been conducted since the pre-colonial times on a very large scale. However, there is also the interrelation between the phenomenon of piracy and the tradition, religion, politics, and economy. This article elucidates the activity of piracy in Indonesia since precolonial times and identifies the records of pirates who had performed their activities which amounted to both cooperation and antagonism of the European expansion.
