<![CDATA[The role of non state actor (NSA) in international relations should be connected with the two theories of IR: liberalism and constructivism. In both, the theories not only have strong faith in cooperation among states but also their main theoritical proposition and instrument have same unit of analysis : human being. Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) of Indonesia, the largest islamic organization in the world with more than 50 million members, should be considered as a non state actor (NSA) that can play its role in countering the most recent serious threat of the world: terrorism and islamic radicalism. The International Summit of Moderat Islamic Leaders (ISOMIL) held by Nahdlatul Ulama on May 2016 in Jakarta which attended by 300 moslem leaders from more than 30 countries is interesting to be discussed in terms of its position as one of the influential organization in the islamic world. This paper will discuss the brief history of Nahdlatul Ulama of Indonesia, its role in eliminating islamic radicalism in Indonesia and spreading moderate islam to the world through ISOMIL. This paper is not intended to idealize the role of non state actor in comparing with the government or state actor itself, rather, to show the importance of contribution of non state actor in eliminatingislamic radicalism throught people to people in international cooperation.]]>
