Abstract
It is with great sadness for friends and
colleagues in Asian Studies, and readers of the
International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies
(where Mario was an editorial board member),
to hear of the recent passing of University of
Amsterdam Professor Mario Rutten.
Mario was born in Maastricht on 31
October 1958. After spending his childhood
and youth with his siblings in various towns
and cities of the Netherlands due to his father's
employment, in 1984 he completed his MA
degree in Sociology from Erasmus University Rotterdam, specialising in
Organisation Sociology, Management and Comparative/Non-Western
Sociology. He then moved to the University of Amsterdam where, under the
guidance of renowned Asia scholar Professor Jan Breman, Mario completed his
PhD degree in 1991 (with distinction) in the Social Sciences
(Anthropology/Sociology) with a dissertation on "Capitalist Entrepreneurs and
Economic Diversification: Social Profile of Large Farmers and Rural
Industrialists in Central Gujarat, India." His doctoral studies were funded by the
Foundation for the Advancement of Tropical Research (WOTRO) of the
Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) and during his field
studies in India he became an affiliated researcher at the Centre for Social
Studies, Surat.
