MERENTAS JALAN PANJANG PERDAMAIAN: NEGARA & MASYARAKAT DALAM RESOLUSI KONFLIK

Abstract

 

Horizontal conflicts that occured in Central Sulawesi, Maluku, and North Maluku have caused more than five thousands casualties and more than five hundred thousands IDPs in North Sulawesi. The conflict has segregated the society into separated communities that live base on religion: Islam and Christian. Research on anatomy o f violence in Indonesia has showed a great development since 1990s. The research was only focused on dominant actors and groups. The research seldom included religious leaders, local leader, and youth leader; neither had it involved IDPs as research object. Therefore this research suggests a development o f people economic model that create cooperation between each members o f society. The model it self can generate family base economic empowerments that promote communalization among and intra-society. Base on that idea folks festival been held periodically, with each villages can produce its special craft and product. Folk’s festival can act as peacemaker in annihilating reason for conflict. Local wisdom such as panaspela, hibualamo need to be introduced arnong generations o f people.
