Merentas Jalan Panjang Perdamaian: Negara & Masyarakat dalam Resolusi Konflik
Syafuan Rozi

Abstract
Horizontal conflicts that occured in Central Sulawesi, Maluku, and North Maluku have caused more than five thousands casualties and more than five hundred thousands IDPs in North Sulawesi. The conflict has segregated the society into separated communities that live base on religion: Islam and Christian. Research on anatomy of violence in Indonesia has showed a great development since 1990s. The research was only focused on dominant actors and groups. The research seldom included religious leaders, local leader, and youth leader; neither had it involved IDPs as research object. Therefore this research suggests a development of people economic model that create cooperation between each members of society. The model itself can generate family base economic empowerments that promote communalization among and intra-society. Base on that idea, folks festival been held periodically, with each villages can produce its special craft and product. Folk’s festival can act as peacemaker in annihilating reason for conflict. Local wisdom such as panas pela, hibualamo need to be introduced among generations of people.

Indriana Kartini

Abstract
The war against terrorism has become the main topic and spread all over the world since the bombing of WTC building in September 11th 2001. The issue is that rather fighting terrorist as the actor of terrorism, the war is blured with fighting Moslem people as the most victimized as the actor of terrorism. Moslems in Australia and United Kingdom, two countries that become close supporter of USA in the war against terrorism, has suffered of negative public perception. It is interesting to analyse policy in those two US’ close allies. The research that has been conduct compares policy of Australia and Britain after the bombing. Image of Moslem community in those countries is shaped by the role of mass media as the source of opinion. The war against terrorism has negative effect that it is victimizing Moslem community as the source of terror.

Athiqah Nur Alami

Abstract
Australia’s position in Asia Pacific has a significant consideration on their policy making, primarily defense policy. Their close relationship with The United States of America and the United Kingdom sometimes becomes impediment in building relations with neighbor countries in Asia. The Australia’s defense policy more or less reflects the big countries’ interest in Asia Pacific, including Proliferation Security Initiatives, SM-3 and AMIZ policies. Those policies bring about various reactions from the East Asian Countries and New Zealand. The different reactions are related strongly with their interest and cooperation with Australia.
