Abstract

The counterterrorism approach is still harnessed to tackle the spread of radical movement and it is deemed to be a soft strategy for a long term purpose. In the several past years, the government has been conducting de-radicalization program in attempt to bring the terrorist inmates safely to social life after the prison release. This program commonly conducted in the prison while the inmates serving the jail time for terrorism-related offences. Nevertheless, debates rise due to the fail of the program result which prove some recidivists appear to execute another terror attack. An opinion of prison environment which is considered  as a potential breeding ground for radicalization aggravates the government effort to reintegrate the prisoners into normal society. This worsened by the activities like recruiting other prisoners and supporting extremist groups from prison which still often occur in Indonesia. Taking two examples from international scope, France has announced to close its de-radicalization program, meanwhile United States under Trump’s leadership prefer to heightened the sentences related to terrorism and to ban Muslim migrants excessively. Meanwhile, Indonesia still convinces that de-radicalization program is one of the most strategic approaches in fighting terrorism, and it is deemed as a soft power with a long term oriented. Therefore, this paper will analyze the effectiveness of the program through theories, facts, and phenomenon. Thus it will yield some recommendations for Indonesian government in strengthening and reshaping its policies.

Abstract

Abstrak – Bergesernya ancaman konvensional kedalam bentuk ancaman non-konvensional merupakan ancaman besar bagi Indonesia. Ancaman non-konvensional berupa perang proxy sudah dan tengah dijalankan di Indonesia kedalam beberapa bentuk, termasuk didalamnya adalah konflik internal. Jumlah konflik internal, baik horizontal maupun vertikal yang semakin meningkat sejak era reformasi dapat saja terjadi karena memang ada pengaruh dan kepentingan asing. Perang proxy cenderung lebih dipilih oleh kelompok kepentingan karena biayanya yang murah dibandingkan perang konvensional, akan tetapi dampak dan daya hancurnya sangat signifikan. Memang menjadi sulit apabila pemerintah mencoba melihat apakah konflik terjadi secara alamiah atau ada unsur kesengajaan (by designed). Untuk itu perlu melakukan pemetaan konflik internal yang telah dan sedang terjadi di berbagai bidang, khususnya di luar bidang militer. Pemetaan ini akhirnya akan menuntun pemerintah, terlebih aparat keamanan dalam menelusuri aktor dan kelompok-kelompok kepentingan. Konflik internal saat ini memang dilatarbelakangi oleh berbagai aspek, yaitu ideologi, politik, ekonomi, dan sosial-budaya, yang berpotensi menjadi perang proxy di Indonesia. Akhirnya, perang proxy akan tetap dipilih oleh aktornya mengingat sumber daya yang digunakan (manusia dan alam) adalah milik negara yang dituju. Posisi Indonesia yang strategis, serta besarnya kekayaan sumber daya alam yang dimiliki, membuat Indonesia akan selalu berada di bawah bayang-bayang ancaman perang proxy. Kata Kunci : Perang proxy, konflik internal, keamanan  Abstract – The conventional threats now have been shifted into unconventional threats which is now considered as one of the biggest threatsfor Indonesia. Proxy war is an unconventional threatand it is happening nowin Indonesia throughinternal conflicts. The number of internal conflicts, whether vertical and horizontal, have increased significantly since the Reformation era started, and it is believed there is a third party who hasa role on that. Many countries prefer proxy war due to its efficiency reasons and it creates a great result of destruction. It is not easy for the government to forecast whether the conflicts are naturally emerged or designed by third parties. Security apparatus, therefore, must design a conflict mapping in every non-military sector. The mapping will lead us in exploring all parties who have a connection to conflicts. It must be realized that internal conflicts are influenced by many factors such as ideology, politics, economics, and social, which later will continue to proxy war threats. Proxy war, therefore, will always be chosen due to its efficieny because they will not use their own resources. The strategic position of Indonesia makes Indonesia to become an object of proxy war. Keywords: proxy war, internal conflict, security
