Abstract

National Security Strategy is a vast subject involving a daunting array of interrelated subelements woven in intricate, sometimes vague, and ever-changing patterns. Its processes are often irregular and confusing and always based on difficult decisions laden with serious risks. In short, it is a subject undestood by few and confusing to most. It is, at the same time, a subject of everwhelming important to the fate of civilization itself. Col. Dennis M. Drew and Dr. Donald M have done a considerable service by drawing together many of the diverse threads of national security strategy into a coherent whole. They consider political and military strategy elements as part of a larger decision making process influenced by economic, technological, cutural, and historical factors. We know of no other recent volume that addresses the entire nationalm security milieu in such a logical manner and yet also manages to address current concerns so thoroughly. It is equally remarkable that they have addressed so many contentious problems in such an evenhanded manner. We are convinced that experienced practitioners in ther field of national security strategy would benefit greatly from a closed examination of this excellent book.

Abstract

Indonesia’s military reform resulted cultural, structural, doctrinal and organizational changes. But those changes are not fundamental enough to build democratic civil–military relation that relies on civilian supremacy. The process of military reform in Indonesia showed us that the success of democratization of civil–military relation depends on institutional setup of the military related to civilian institutions’ persistency, guidance, and initiative. This study used Peter D. Feaver’s theory of “principal-agent” to show that the lack of civilian institutions’ coherence and resoluteness caused persisting problems to the Indonesia’s military reform under democratic system. Civilian supremacy in Indonesia appears to be relied on “voluntary subordination” of the military rather than effective civilian control over the military. Hence, instructive policies and legal basis become very important to yield a complete subordination of the military to the civil within democratic system. This argument confronts the existing studies, especially those with political perspective, that tended to accept the idea that military supremacy in politics is needed to build a strong nation state and to uphold the constitution. This study uses qualitative method with data collected by interviewing some key figures in military and civilian institutions.
