Abstract

The threat to national security nowadays is not limited to the military domain but has targetted the multi-dimension and multi-actor non-military domain. War definition then shifted from the dominance of the physical battles among military powers variable to non-physical battles among ideologies, politics, economics, and socio-cultural variable. This characteristic of confrontation seems more intensified in the future. Addressing the realities, Indonesia has formulated a formal-legal foundation for non-military defense as a part of the national defense strategy. To implement it well at a practical level, the complexity of non-military defense must meet with collaborative governance. This paper will discuss the urgency of the collaborative governance method in order to strengthen Indonesia's non-military defense. The objective of building a non-military defense is to organize a strong collaboration of governmental institutions for creating a total defense system mainly to encounter non-military threats. Well-integrated collaborative governance is one of the determinant factors on the success of the non-military defense.

Summary

Introduction

The strategic environment for global and regional security in recent years has become increasingly complex, erratic, and volatile. Civilian mobilization for national defense affairs is still difficult to implement even with a persuasive approach due to the trauma of the New Order as reflected in the public reaction to the passing of the National Resource Management Law for National Defence (PSDN) in 2019 The development of such a strategic environment towards security has positioned a non-military threat which has strategic implication as a military threat. At the executive and policy level, this paper is expected to be an important input for the strategic plan and implementation framework for strengthening nonmilitary defense The discussion of this topic in the chapter is discussed in two parts, non-military defense and the urgency of collaborative governance
