Peran Militer dalam Kebijakan Publik Pasca Reformasi (Studi Kasus pada Masa Pemerintahan Joko Widodo)

Abstract

This type of research is a literature study. This thesis is motivated by the collapse of President Soeharto's New Order regime along with the abolition of Dwifungsi. This thesis aims to explain how the role of the military in post-reform public policy with a case study on the reign of Joko Widodo as president of the Republic of Indonesia for 2 periods. Previously, the military reformation had two functions, namely as a defense and security force and a socio-political force which was later revoked by Gus Dur so that the TNI had to give up its socio-political role. This has an impact on changes in the role of the military after the reformation, including during the leadership of Joko Widodo. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The data required is secondary data. The data collection technique in this research is documentation. Based on the results of research and discussion, the role of the military in public policy during the Joko Widodo administration from 2014-2024 is not only in the field of defense and security. The military also plays a role in government phenomena and decisions. In addition, the military expanded its role, namely diplomacy with the aim of establishing peace between countries. During Joko Widodo's time, the military was more focused on its function as a means of state defense and security. There are several functions that have developed, for example providing military education for young people and also carrying out diplomacy tasks that are still in the context of the military.
