“…Lederach's peacebuilding model falls in the category of transformative peacebuilding. It stands in contrast to liberal peacebuilding, which is centred on the implementation of mainly a liberal project, conducted by Western liberal countries in promoting or enforcing conditions under neoliberal values (Kharisma, 2017). Transformative peacebuilding recognises that peacebuilding activity must be transformational and reflect the interests, identities, and needs of local actors (Cejka, 2003).…”

This article aims to understand and analyse Indonesia's involvement in ensuring peace, especially in peacebuilding efforts in Afghanistan. Indonesia’s commitment to improve its peace efforts in Afghanistan was expressed by President Joko Widodo during his visit to Kabul in 2018. This research used Lederach’s pyramid model of peacebuilding as the primary analysis tool. Lederach’s pyramid model identifies three approaches to peacebuilding, along with the main actors in the population affected by the conflict—namely top leadership, middle range leadership, and grass-root leadership. The results of the study show that Indonesia's involvement in Afghanistan in peace efforts has been carried out at all levels. Indonesia's peacebuilding efforts at the top level are focused on achieving Intra-Afghan Talks. At the middle range level, Indonesia runs capacity building programs and uses a religious approach through ulama. Furthermore, at the grassroots level, Indonesia focuses on empowering Afghan women as peace agents. The presence of Indonesia in all three approaches to Peacebuilding shows a positive mark for the overall Afghan peace process.

“…Any supporting institution need a lot of resources in order to guarantee its legitimacy after the conflict. It needs committed efforts beyond the promotion of democratic life, a primary one would be the drawing up of a strong state budget to be allocated for building infrastructures and conducting hard-task development projects that ensure welfare for the citizens (Kharisma, 2017). The quality of peace is a matter of hope and the ultimate goal of a peace that has been realised is ensuring that the achieved peace will be eternal.…”

This article investigates the quality of peace in armed conflicts that occurred in the Southeast Asia region. The authors compared the cases of Aceh, where the armed conflict between the Free Aceh Movement or GAM and the government of Republic Indonesia ended peacefully with the Helsinki Memorandum of Understanding, with the conflict in the southern Philippines, where a peace agreement, the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro, was successfully achieved between the government of Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. This research employed document analysis to analyse the peace settlement documents of both parties and the derivative laws of the agreed settlements, as well as other relevant sources as the secondary data. All documents and sources were processed through the NVivo 12 application. The findings revealed that in both Aceh and Bangsamoro, the quality of peace is far from significant, for not all the terms of the agreements had been realised and there was still mutual suspicion prevailing between the two fighting parties. Therefore, what had been agreed upon in the Aceh and Bangsamoro post-conflict agreements must be accomplished as they should be in order to create a lasting peace, thereby allowing the people to experience a sufficient quality peace together.

“…Liberals believe that institutional constraints cause a head of state who does not even adhere to a liberal understanding, will still act like a liberal and avoid unpopular policy choices such as war to remain elected by his people during the next general election (Doyle, 1983b: 101). On the other hand, the liberal framework is considered a reference for rebuilding post-conflict societies by implementing political and economic liberalization, a democratic system of government, and market-oriented economic growth (Kharisma, 2017;Paris, 2010). Security and stability in post-conflict countries can be achieved by applying a liberal framework in the system.…”

“…Democracy is closely related to the narrative of building a post-conflict peaceful area (Choiruzzad, 2013;Kharisma, 2017). There is a phenomenon of countries experiencing conflict trying to change their system to a democratic system to rebuild peace in their territory.…”

Democracy In Slovenia: Slovenia’s Entry Into The European Union After The Disintegration Of Yugoslavia

After the disintegration of Yugoslavia, Slovenia made changes in its ideology and political system to become part of the European Union. However, as a newly independent country, Slovenia faces an unfinished successional political transition. Undertaking a democratic system shift will cause Slovenia to face several challenges: accepting and implementing new democratic laws, introducing a liberal economy with free initiative, and achieving national sovereignty as an independent country. Apart from being a newly independent country, Slovenia also has a history of war with Italy when it was under Yugoslavia during the Second World War. These conditions make Slovenia’s entry into the European Union problematic. This article aims to understand Slovenia’s policy transition process after the disintegration of Yugoslavia and its consideration to join the European Union. This article uses qualitative methods with data and literatures collection from various official documents, books, journals, and online news which discuss integration process and democracy implementation in Slovenia related to its integration to European Union. This article concludes that Slovenia’s decision to join the European Union - despite its position as a newly independent country and the history of war with Italy - was due to the belief that a common liberal democratic system could help open relations with fellow democracies. The similarity of this system can be seen from the application of the three pillars of liberal democracy in democratic peace theory. The theory postulates that when the three pillars are applied, liberal countries will not go to war with each other
