Abstract

This study aims to see and analyze the implementation of community empowerment policies and the challenges of national defense threats carried out by the Government of Indonesia, especially the role of regional governments. Quoted from the official website of the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, there are a total of 514 regencies and cities in the territory of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) consisting of 416 regencies and 98 cities. Through a qualitative method using a narrative policy analysis approach, this research shows the forms and challenges of defense policy as a policy strategy carried out to maintain Indonesian sovereignty, especially in regional government based on the narrative and symbolic structures that exist in the policy process through community empowerment. The results of this study indicate that defense policies in local governments to support national defense are still not optimal because first bilateral and multilateral cooperation have not been carried out with other regions that are directly involved in conflict, secondly there is no coordination between regions and related agencies in the implementation of defense policies implemented in the regions. . This is evidenced by the lack of collaboration between regions regarding community empowerment in warding off threats that will occur at any time in the era of society 5.0.
