Abstract

This paper intends to join the discussion over the heavily pressured ASEAN's non- interference. With a qualitative approach, this paper investigate where the pressure comes from and whether non-interference actually harms ASEAN. Utilizing the medical analogy, "the dose makes the poison,” and Acton's wisdom on power, the paper argue that the non-interference harm and critics inducing to ASEAN is a result of its excessive uses rather than the principle itself harmful. Avoiding, delaying, and brushing issues aside behind non-interference becomes a comfortable refuge for ASEAN when faced with difficult challenges. ASEAN indeed needs to change. However, given ASEAN's diverse political, cultural, and language differences, eliminating non-interference influence in ASEAN is an outrageous deliberation. The principle is not poisonous with the right prescription. Therefore, as conclusion the paper advocate the creation of a formal forum that can serve as a formal means to brainstorm solutions for members' taboo predicament that could preserve member states freedom to decide, rather than dictating one, to control the dosage of non-interference needed in the ASEAN system. Like a family, ASEAN member states can use the forum to convince each other's that there are better solutions for their predicament and advance the region together.

Abstract

Cultures may either flourish or decline based on different situations. Due to its dynamicity, utilizing cultural values as a foundation for peace or peacebuilding is generally deemed an unwise investment for governments. Nevertheless, in this study, we challenge this notion with unique cultural peace values exhibited by tradition of Kemaliq and Perang Topat in Lombok Island, Indonesia. By employing qualitative methods, we delve into the cultures and highlighting their exceptional qualities that differentiate them from other peace-making cultural efforts. We found distinctively that these traditions' greatest strengths lie in their primary activities of sharing of sacred sites between Islamic and Hindu adherents in Kemaliq, and the enthusiastic act of channeling all grievances into the thrown topat towards the opposing side in Perang Topat. With the peacemaking power of both lying on their material activities, rather than in abstract values that may be subject to change or erosion over time, making them durable, replicate-able, and dynamically usable peace cultures, much different than their counterparts. Accordingly, we highly recommend that, especially, the government of Indonesia to invest in promoting these traditions as valuable sources of local and even national peacemaking endeavors.
