Abstract

This article reinterprets Cederman et al.’s (2025) model of ethno-national configurations as not only an explanatory framework for civil and interstate wars but also as a diagnostic tool for conflict prevention and peacebuilding. By integrating theories of nationalism, ethnic conflict, and peace and conflict resolution, the paper demonstrates how state–nation incongruence, captured in five configurations United Home Rule, United Alien Rule, Divided Home Rule, Partial Home Rule (irredentism), and Divided Alien Rule generates different types of grievances and security dilemmas. We argue that these structural typologies can serve two distinct functions: (1) ex post analysis of conflicts, explaining why and how wars emerge; and (2) ex ante diagnosis of latent threats, offering early warning for peace practitioners. The paper further develops a Conflict–Peace Framework that links configurations to specific institutional remedies, ranging from power-sharing and autonomy to cross-border governance and international mediation. The contribution is twofold: (a) bridging political science and peace studies by transforming a conflict-centered typology into a peace-oriented architecture, and (b) proposing an analytical map for both scholars and practitioners to anticipate and resolve ethno-national conflicts.

Abstract

The role of local wisdom as an instrument of peace has become increasingly relevant in addressing conflicts within Indonesia’s multicultural society. This study analyzes three forms of local wisdom: the philosophy of adat bersendi syarak, syarak bersendi Kitabullah among the Malay Riau community, Tri Hita Karana in Bali, and Pela Gandong in Maluku. Using a qualitative library research method, the study applies Johan Galtung’s conflict and peace theory as well as John Paul Lederach’s peacebuilding from below to examine how local cultural practices contribute to conflict resolution and peacebuilding. Findings reveal that each tradition provides distinctive yet interconnected approaches: Malay Riau emphasizes deliberation and social reconciliation through adat institutions, Tri Hita Karana stresses the balance of spiritual, social, and ecological relations, while Pela Gandong fosters solidarity and interfaith brotherhood across villages. The analysis further demonstrates that these traditions collectively embody principles of harmony, consensus, and collectivism while differing in their religio-cultural foundations and practical mechanisms. Through Galtung’s framework, these practices can be understood as efforts to build positive peace, while Lederach’s perspective highlights the significance of grassroots actors and local legitimacy in sustaining peace. The study concludes that revitalizing local wisdom as a peace strategy is essential to strengthening social cohesion, ensuring national stability, and providing models for global peacebuilding.
