1This book is based on the collaborative international research conducted between The University of Melbourne, Universitas Indonesia and Universitas Gadjah Mada, on project initiation in ports and infrastructure projects in Indonesia and Australia. The editors would firstly like to acknowledge the generous funding and support from the Australia-Indonesia Centre (AIC) which made this possible. This funding came in the form of the Small Grant, Rapid Start Grant and a Strategic Research Grant. Special thanks must be given for the support received from the AIC’s Research director Dr Richard Price and Research Manager Megan Power, and the Administrative team: Katrina Reid, Rebecca Hateley, Dr Maria Platt and Samantha Croy.

2In Indonesia, the small grant received from the AIC and the travel support and case study materials provided by the Indonesian Infrastructure Initiative (IndII) group of Australia Aid is gratefully acknowledged. Special thanks for the support provided by Lynton Ulrich and Nur Hayati of IndII during the study. Aspects of this monograph have also been informed by direct communication with the Indonesian Co-ordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs. Also, special thanks for the inputs from Dr Luky Eko Wuryanto (who at the time was Deputi Bidang Koordinasi Infrastruktur dan Pengembangan, Kemenko Perekonomian), Dedy Supriadi Priatno (who at the time was Deputi Bidang Prasarana dan Sarana, Kementerian PPN/BAPPENAS — the key planning ministry) and Dr Hermanto Dardak (Wakil Menteri, Kementerian Pekerjaan Umum), as well as the staff at IndII who convened the meetings held with these senior Indonesian Officials.

3A special mention goes to then Minister Robb (Australian Government) and then Premier Napthine (Victorian Government) for including the research team on trade delegations to Indonesia, and to Steve Richards of Aurecon for involving the research team in executive meetings with senior Indonesian Officials.

4We thank Emeritus Professor John Black from the University of New South Wales, Professor Graeme Hodge from Monash University and Professor Danang Parikesit from Universitas Gadjah Mada for their valuable input at the academic workshop conducted in Melbourne in the early stage of the research. Professor John Black also contributed an entire chapter (Chapter 5) on port hinterland to this research monograph.

5The editors would like to acknowledge the leadership of Associate Professor Sari Wahyuni, the co-lead for the Strategic Research Project in organising many of the tedious research activities such as the numerous stakeholder meetings and discussions in Jakarta, Indonesia. As the project co-lead, Associate Professor Sari also contributed two chapters (Chapters 7 and 8) to the research monograph. We also acknowledge the time, support and advice of our team member, Professor Danang Parikesit. As a senior academic and a policy expert, Professor Danang was instrumental in providing direction for research in Indonesia as well as valuable inputs in discussions. Professor Danang contributed a solid chapter on the critical importance of land transport in Indonesia (Chapter 11).
