Abstract

Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) is suspected of employing a novel proliferation strategy, namely nonviolent struggle. This impression emerged after Para Wijayanto (Amir JI) was apprehended by Special Detachment 88 Anti-Terror Police officers in Bekasi. Following the arrest of Abu Bakar Ba'asyir by law enforcement officers, Para Wijayanto became JI’s most influential figure. He returned to Indonesia after finishing military terrorism training in Moro,, the Philippines. According to police investigation data, he is a Moro military training alumnus, which means he is involved in the JI terrorism organization's structure. In the hands of Wijayanto, JI evolved into what the Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict (IPAC) dubbed Neo-JI in its 2017 report. This type of struggle by terrorist organizations prefers to creep in quietly, without a violent agenda, and rely solely on social and da'wah. The shift in JI's struggle strategy under Para Wijayanto's leadership was demonstrated during the mobilization of mass demonstrations against DKI Jakarta's governor in 2012. The Deputy Head of Densus 88 explained the Defending Islam 212 demonstration in Jakarta, emphasizing that the incident should not be avoided and was motivated by a desire to commit acts of terrorism after police detected signs of such a movement. The police are aware that the radical group is anti-demonstration; they only move for action. So, the police specifically observed the movements of this group, and some of their members even fled from areas outside Jakarta. This study will examine the factors and timing of JI's transition to a nonviolent struggle strategy, similar to the preaching of Islamic mass organizations. Between 2019 and early 2024, law enforcement officers conducted extensive soft power operations to combat the rise of JI's preaching movement.

Abstract

The emergence of violent extremism as a prominent non-traditional security threat has driven a fundamental shift in security governance, transitioning from state-centric, coercive approaches toward preventive and collaborative models. In Indonesia, this transformation is institutionalized through the National Action Plan on Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism Leading to Terrorism (RAN PE) 2021–2025, which operationalizes Whole-of-Government (WoG) and Whole-of-Society (WoS) approaches. Employing a constructivist perspective, this study examines how global norms of Human Security and Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE) are diffused and localized into Indonesia’s domestic security practices through state–civil society interactions. The study finds that while the RAN PE marks a significant evolution from a predominantly law enforcement-oriented model toward a preventive, community-based governance architecture, implementation remains shaped by enduring state-centric security logics. Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) act as key norm entrepreneurs, strengthening social cohesion, peace education, and community resilience while translating global norms into locally contextualized practices. Consequently, the RAN PE represents both a strategic policy shift and a structural negotiation between state and non-state actors over contemporary security governance. This paper contributes to the P/CVE literature by illustrating how the interplay between WoG and WoS frameworks mediates norm localization, underscoring the critical role of institutionalized state–civil society collaboration for sustainable, preventive security governance.
