Configuration of Civil-Millitarian Relations (Study of Military Sociology In The Morosi Smelter Industry Area)

Abstract

The purpose of this study seeks to describe the pattern of civil-military relations in handling conflicts in the smelter industrial area in Morosi. The method used in this research is qualitative method. This study finds that the configuration of civil-military relations has 3 (three) forms; 1) Relations between the Territorial Apparatus and Government Officials show a more constructive and stable relationship. Both of them work hand in hand to create a conducive atmosphere not only in the internal industrial area, but also more broadly in the community around the mine. 2) The relationship between the Territorial Apparatus and the community tends to be less stable and constructive than that of the Government Apparatus. 3) The relationship between the Territorial-Company Apparatus is unstable. This study finds a new alternative category in the midst of the conflict between military realism and civil liberalism as mentioned by Huntington. The new category is Transformative Pragmatism. The theoretical implications of the research are 2 (two): 1) Transformative pragmatism opposes the view of structural deterministic sociology 2) In military sociology, Transformative Pragmatism provides a conceptual contribution in the form of a new typology that bridges the rivalry of military realism with civil liberalism.
