Abstract

After being launched by the Ministry of Religion in 2019, the concept of religious moderation continues to gain public attention. It can be seen from the large amount of research regarding religious moderation which is embedded in many objects. This research took the material and curriculum objects of Al Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan (AIK) which are taught in Muhammadiyah schools at the high school level. This research aims to determine the value of religious moderation in AIK textbooks. This study was qualitative research with a content analysis approach. The first step of this study was collecting journals, reference books related to religious moderation, and textbooks used for the teaching and learning process in Muhammadiyah schools. Following the first step, analysis was conducted to describe the concept inside the source books. The conclusion was made then. The findings showed that there were several important points in AIK textbooks that align with the spirit of moderation. These points were ukhuwah (brotherhood), non-violence, tolerance, and commitment to nationality.

Abstract

Throughout 2021, the Special Detachment (Densus) 88 Anti-Terror of the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia carried out firm policing regarding the threat of violence as mandated by Law No. 5 of 2018 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Terrorism. This study aims to unveil the interfaced motive of violating the mentioned law by suspects having proximity to Muhammadiyah family members in Yogyakarta, Makassar, and Surabaya. This study also revealed factors of the interfaced motive of the terrorism threat by conducting both observation and in-depth interviews with three suspects held in the custody of the Regional Police Jakarta. The ideological motive, the desire to fasten the practice of Islamic Sharia in Indonesia, became a crucial finding holding similarities with da’wah promoting good and preventing vice (amar makruf nahi munkar) in Muhammadiyah. The euphoria of the new emergence of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria came as the subsequent finding, followed by the figure of preachers outside Muhammadiyah. These three interfaced motives emerged as the etiquette background of the suspects for a long period. The confessions of the suspects revealed that they had no intention of committing crimes. However, they were in a group and strongly prone to extremism and terrorism.

Abstract

This study examines the role of the Muhammadiyah Agency for International Development (MuAID) as a civil society actor in advancing paradiplomatic engagement and humanitarian governance in conflict-affected regions. While existing studies on humanitarian assistance have largely emphasized state institutions and international organizations, limited attention has been given to how faith-based civil society organizations from the Global South mobilize transnational networks, manage humanitarian operations, and function as non-state diplomatic actors. Employing a qualitative case study approach, this research analyzes MuAID’s humanitarian programs implemented between 2017 and 2022 across Palestine, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Türkiye, and Jordan. Data was collected through interviews, institutional documents, group discussions, and secondary sources, followed by an assessment of five Muhammadiyah-affiliated institutions involved in humanitarian coordination and implementation. The findings identify three patterns of civil society paradiplomatic engagement: local NGO partnerships, diaspora-enabled humanitarian responses, and domestic refugee management. These models demonstrate how MuAID combines resource mobilization, religious networks, local partnerships, and institutional coordination to deliver humanitarian assistance under politically constrained environments. The study further reveals that organizational performance is shaped by adaptive capacity, stakeholder coordination, financial management, and the ability to sustain cross-border partnerships. This research contributes to paradiplomacy and humanitarian governance literature by extending the concept of paradiplomacy beyond governmental actors and demonstrating how faith-based civil society organizations from the Global South operate as humanitarian donors, diplomatic intermediaries, and actors within multi-level humanitarian governance.

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.
