NGO, Civil Society dan Demokrasi: Kritik atas Pandangan Liberal
No full textBy reviewing a variety of studies and research concerning impacts of NGO (Non-Governmental Organizations) activities on civil society empowerment and democracy, the article is a critique of the liberal argument on NGO, civil society and democracy which sees them as having linear and causal relations. On the contrary, it argues that the relationships are much more complex, i.e. involving diverse context and setting. For example, as discussed thoroughly by the author, a number of studies reviewed here confirm that an empowered civil society does not consequentially lead to a consolidated democracy as promoted by the Liberals. Actively operated NGOs –as exemplified by the Philippines case in the article— do not necessarily indicate an active civil society nor an accountable state. In fact, as studies also showed, NGOs would lessen the state capacity in cases where it depends too much to foreign aid

ABRI di Tengah Paradoks Sosial
No full textSince the Indonesian Army successfully has increased nation-state economic and welfare level (hand in hand with technocrats and foreign capitals), it has to face a new challenge, that is "discontinuity track". This has been remarked by two social paradoxes: (I) global competitions that have expressed in severalhumanity issues (human rights democracy, environment) in front of the existence of national development as political legitimation of the New Order rezim; (2) domestic phenomena; society's struggles in gaining autonomy space in front of centralization of power by the state through various instrumental ways. In this point, the Army has to react those challenges, not only external (toward political, economic, judicial and cultural issues) but also internal ways (self-regulation by scientific understanding and awareness of objectivity on humanity issues). Although facing a tricky real politic canstelation, the Army has to answer those social paradoxes creatively and appropriately, it still wants to get political legitimation for it's power domination. Finally, the main problem is how to formulate the correct answer should be done

Intervensi Kebijakan Pasca (Dis)integrasi: Sebuah Pendekatan Resolusi Konflik
No full textNation-state has now been challenged by many forces for not be able to fully meet its citizen's aspirations. These challenges have put the fate of national integration on the brink of bankruptcy. But beyond that challenges, nation-state has systematically grown as a strong actor in both national and international arena. The question is how to bridge those two contradictory phenomena. Herein, several strategic interventions of public policy can be adopted Consociational democracy, representative bureaucracy, local autonomy and federalism are but some suggested alternatives. For Indonesia, the last two alternatives are far more feasible than the first two. But since federalism is sometimes resisted by central government and used no more than a political arsenal by those of politicians, then local autonomy comes to the fore to be the focal agenda. Thus, the challenge ahead is to realize local autonomy by accommodating those strategic values of federalism such as opening power window to broader public participation, respecting pluralism, and enforcing political and economic justice. This last point is the theme of this paper
