SUMMARY:Indonesia’s Civil-Military Relations: Democratic Rollback and Remilitarization
LOCATION:Classroom NT-159
DESCRIPTION:To explain the trend of militarization in Indonesia, existing s
 tudies on Indonesia’s contemporary civil-military relations focus mainly on
  the Indonesian military’s role expansion beyond defense affairs as well as
  the military’s protection of corporate interests.1 Sebastian and colleague
 s have framed these trends as “transactional fusionism,” emphasizing the ci
 vilian sector’s complicity in facilitating military agency beyond the barra
 cks.2 However, much of this literature risks overlooking the structural and
  political drivers behind the resurgence of military influence. This panel 
 seeks to critically interrogate such assumptions, moving beyond explanation
 s centered solely on military agency.\nDrawing on the analytical lens of ci
 vilian pulling as developed by Harig and Ruffa, the panel foregrounds the r
 ole of civilian political elites who actively mobilize the armed forces for
  missions outside their core remit.3 Papers will explore the motivations of
  these elites, the legal and normative frameworks that have enabled the exp
 ansion of Military Operations Other Than War (MOOTW), and the degree to whi
 ch the military itself has contested or embraced such civilian-led incursio
 ns into non-traditional roles. We consider MOOTW as a particularly salient 
 arena because it functions as a representative of the intersection between 
 civilian and military realms. In Indonesia, MOOTW has also been perceived a
 s a contested arena where the military seeks to act as the lead agency, rat
 her than supporting civilian agencies in their functions.\nFinally, Indones
 ian political elites often exploit this secondary duty, including the milit
 ary as part of their “quick win” strategies, which has been especially appa
 rent during President Joko Widodo presidency (2014-2024).
