“…Di bawah pendekatan baru, polisi hanya dapat menangkap pemberontak jika ada cukup bukti pelanggaran menurut hukum Indonesia, yang disokong dengan adanya restrukturalisasi badan POLRI melalui penetapan Undang-Undang No. 2 Tahun 2002 (Syailendra, 2016).…”

“…Dilemanya, kedua aksi reformasi tersebut terkadang berbenturan, seiring dengan terjadinya eskalasi kekuasaan yang kerap membawa dampak negatif terhadap citra aparat keamanan di mata warga. Seperti yang digambarkan di atas, di tengah perang narasi, reaksi militer yang kuat dapat menjadi pedang bermata dua, terutama bagi aktor yang bersimpati dengan gerakangerakan OPM (Syailendra, 2016).…”

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk membuktikan adanya proses sekuritisasi dalam konflik Papua di era Kepresidenan Joko Widodo (terutama 2014-2018). Fokus utama penelitian ini adalah pendekatan keamanan yang didominasi oleh Indonesia terhadap permasalahan Papua, khususnya perubahan kebijakan dalam menangani KKB di Papua pasca-Reformasi melalui kerangka pikir sekuritisasi. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif, artikel ini menunjukkan perubahan yang signifikan secara yuridis, terutama dalam penggunaan aparatus keamanan negara dalam menangani KKB di Papua saat ini. Namun demikian, penerapan kebijakan baru juga menunjukkan tumpang tindih dan kontradiktif, menjadikan situasi konflik di Papua hingga kini masih tidak pasti. This article aims to demonstrate the securitization processes within the Papua conflict during the presidency of Joko Widodo, particularly focusing on the years 2014-2018. The primary focus of this research is Indonesia's security-oriented approach to the Papua issue, specifically examining policy changes in addressing the Free Papua Movement (KKB) post-Reformasi through the securitization framework. Utilizing a qualitative method, the article illustrates significant juridical changes, especially in the use of state security apparatus in handling the current KKB situation in Papua. However, the implementation of new policies also shows overlap and contradiction, leaving the conflict situation in Papua uncertain to this day.

“…In 2014, the central government began to increase investment in West Papua, trying to further improve the backward situation of local infrastructure. The central government allocated 4.6 billion pounds to West Papua to support its local construction while continuing its dialogue with local separatists (Bertrand 2014, Syailendra 2016. Violent conflicts in West Papua continued to rise, which led President Zoko to change his attitude in 2016.…”

Adaptation to the norms of nation-states has always been one of the most important issues for Southeast Asian countries. This paper takes Aceh and Western Papua as examples to explore their interaction with the central government of Indonesia and try to answer why local authorities have different responses after implementing the indirect rule. This study mainly uses process tracking methods to test the interaction between the central and local governments in Indonesia. This study believes that trust is the fundamental factor that determines whether the local authorities and the central government can have a positive interaction. This reason will change the central government in the process of State-building. The study found that Aceh and Western Papua had different feedback to the central government. The key lies in whether they form a “trust” interaction, rather than whether they adopt an inclusive system (democratic system). This study concluded the feedback difference between Aceh and Western Papua as a classic case shows that, as a country, it is not only represented by the central government but also needs the “trust” of the central government and local authorities to form good governance, as well as national development effective.

“…3 The Indonesian Police Force (Polisi Republik Indonesia, POLRI) served as the backbone of Indonesian COIN operations in West Papua. In 2010, the POLRI together with the TNI launched Operation Securing Papua to halt crimes and violence insinuated by the military arm of OPM (Organisasi Papua Merdeka, Independent Papuan Organization) (Syailendra 2016). Displays of West Papuan nationalist sentiments, such as the raising of the flag, were immediately followed with suppression by the TNI.…”

What conditions precipitate militia-inflicted sexual violence during counterinsurgency (COIN) and stabilization operations? Bringing insights from the outsourcing and social cohesion theses, we expand on the sexual violence as practice framework by focusing on the issue of commander's tolerance. Given the principal-agent problem, tolerance can be conceptualized and refined as a form of implicit order. Prioritizing the relationship between government and militia groups, we argue that militia-inflicted sexual violence is amplified by two interrelated conditionsthe link to (or association with) the government security forces and the autonomy permitted to the militias to act independently in maintaining control in conflict zones. As such, sexual violence-as-weapons of war logic can be extended to understand the finer variations of militia-committed violence in COIN operations. We elaborate our explanations by analyzing three peripheral operations conducted by Indonesian security forces and the associated militias: East Timor, Aceh and West Papua. We process-trace the mechanisms through which the two conditions of linkage and autonomy permit progovernment militia groups to commit mass civilian killing and sexual violence. In the final section, we conclude with broad policy implications from our research.
