"Era reformasi yang menggema di tahun 1998 telah menyentuh seluruh aspek kehidupan bangsa. Segala aspek dituntut untuk berubah sebagai cara untuk meninggalkan warisan tradisi Orde Baru. Militer sebagai lembaga yang mendukung kekuasaan rezim, tak luput dari tuntutan perubahan. Wacana sipil-militer pun menjadi pembicaraan menarik, karena militer turut berperan aktif dalam warisan tradisi Orde Baru, khususnya dalam wilayah politik.Oleh karena itu, fokus perhatian tertuju pada peran politik militer. Sejak masa kepemimpinan Orde Lama, peran politik militer telah berlangsung. Di masa Orde Baru, peran tersebut semakin meningkat, bahkan militer turut mendukung tatanan pemerintahan selama lebih dari 30 tahun. Bersama dengan Golkar dan Birokrasi, Soeharto berhasil mengorganisir militer sebagai kekuatan politik yang turut menjamin stabilitas kekuasaan di bawah kepemimpinanya.Dalam meneliti peran politik militer ini, teori yang dipakai adalah teori relasi sipil-militer, peran politik militer, dan teori konsolidasi demokrasi. Ketiga teori ini dianggap mampu menggambarkan praktik poiitik militer di masa Orde Lama, Orde Baru dan pergeserannya di masa pasca Orde Baru. Metode yang dipakai dalam penulisan tesis ini adalah metode kualitatif, dengan memakai pendekatan kepustakaan (library research). Sumber-sumber data diperoleh dengan mengkaji buku-buku yang terkait dengan objek penelitian sorta melakukan wawancara dengan berbagai pihak yang terlibat langsung dalam pengambilan kebijakan-kebijakan yang terkait dengan objek penelitian.Berdasarkan temuan penelitian, era pasca Orde Baru menunjukkan kecenderungan menguatnya profesionalisrne militer. Militer terfokus pada fungsi pertahanan sebagai tugas utamanya. Civil society menjadi pilar utama, menggantikan dominasi militer. Lewat kebijakan sipil di DPR, kepentingan militer juga memperoleh perhatian utama, khususnya upaya untuk meningkatkan anggaran kesejahteraan dan belanja militer. Dengan demikian, peran politik militer di Indonesia pasca Orde Baru semakin menurun, seiring reformasi internal di tubuh militer sendiri. Kondisi ini sejalan dengan upaya konsolidasi demokrasi yang sedang berlangsung di Indonesia.

Reformation era launched year 1998 has touched entire aspect of life nation. All aspect claimed to change as mode to leave heritage of New Order tradition. Military as institute support regime power don?t miss from change demand. Discourse of civil-military even also becomes interesting discussion because military partake the active sharing in heritage of New Order tradition, especially in political region.

Therefore, the focus attention concentrated to the political role of military. Since a period of Old Order leadership, political role of military has taken place. In period of New Order, the role progressively mount, even the military partake to support system of govemance during more than 30 years. Along with Golkar and Bureaucracy, Soeharto succeed to organize military as strength of politics which partake to guarantee stability of power under his leadership.

In study of political role of military, the theory which used is civil-military relationship theory, political role of military, and the consolidation of democracy theory. Those three theories are assumed able to depict political practice of military in a period of Old Order, New Order and its friction in a period of post New Order. Method that used in this thesis is qualitative method, with is bibliographical approach (library research). Data resources obtained by studying relevant books with research object and also conducting interview with various parties that concerned directly in policy intake with research object.

Pursuant to research Ending, post New Order era shows tendency of strengthen of military professionalism. Military focused at defender function as its main duty. Civil Society becomes especial pillar, replacing military domination. Through civil policy Indonesia House of Representative (DPR), military interest also gets especial attention, especially attempt to increase the military expense and prosperity budget. Thereby, political role of military in Indonesia downhill post New Order progressively, along the internal reform inside military. This condition is in parallel with effort of democracy consolidation which is underway in Indonesia."

"Reformasi militer Indonesia telah mengakibatkan perubahan budaya, doktrin, struktural, dan organisasi. Perubahan tersebut belum mencapai sifat yang fundamental terhadap hubungan sipil-militer yang demokratis dimana hal ini sangat bergantung secara bersamaan pada "subordinasi masyarakat sipil untuk nilai-nilai militer” dan “subordinasi kontrol sipil atas militer". Kasus Indonesia dari reformasi militer tampaknya menunjukkan bahwa keberhasilan demokratisasi hubungan sipil-militer tergantung begitu banyak pada setup kelembagaan militer serta pada gigihnya bimbingan dan inisiatif dari institusi sipil. Beradaptasi dari Peter D. Feaver tentang teori "principal-agent", penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa masih ada koherensi yang kurang terpadu dari upaya antara lembaga-lembaga sipil (supra), sehingga dasar reformasi militer di Indonesia di bawah kontrol demokrasi masih bermasalah. Hal ini jelas bahwa, pertama, reformasi militer merupakan bagian yang tidak terpisahkan dari demokratisasi, dan kematangan demokrasi harus membuka jalan bagi reformasi di militer. Kenyataan bahwa militer tetap merupakan bagian yang tidak terpisahkan dari lingkaran supra sehingga hal ini menjadi bermasalah. Kedua, lingkaran sipil/ politik di dalam lingkaran supra tidak dapat membimbing, memberikan saran, dan memberikan orientasi kepada militer dalam kerangka tujuan nasional, termasuk alokasi sumber daya serta penggunaan kekuatan militer, sementara militer tetap menjadi otonom dalam beberapa area seperti doktrin, organisasi, disiplin internal, sifat, serta rencana operasional. Ketiga, lingkaran infra-partai politik, organisasi kemasyarakatan, organisasi non-pemerintah serta akademisi dan media-telah memainkan beberapa peran, meskipun terbatas, dalam menetapkan beberapa perubahan, tetapi mereka tetap tidak mampu menjaga momentum selama proses berlangsung. Keempat, pada tingkat implementasi, Departemen Pertahanan tampaknya memiliki kapasitas yang terbatas untuk melakukan kontrol mereka atas militer terutama di bidang anggaran militer, prioritas strategis, akuisisi senjata, pendidikan, dan doktrin. Supremasi sipil di Indonesia tampaknya telah mengandalkan "subordinasi sukarela" dari militer daripada akses sipil untuk melakukan kontrol yang efektif terhadap militer. Oleh karena itu, kebijakan instruktif dan dasar hukum keduanya diperlukan dan penting untuk menghasilkan subordinasi lengkap militer ke sipil.

Indonesia’s military reform may have resulted in noted cultural, structural, doctrinal, and organizational changes. But such change has yet to be felt in the fundamental democratic civil-military relation that relies upon both “the subordination of civil society to military values and the subordination of civilian control of the military”. In the case of Indonesia, the military reform process appears to suggest that the success of democratizing civil-military relations depends as much on the institutional setup of the military as on the persistence, guidance and initiative of the civilian institutions. Adapting Peter D. Feaver’s “principal-agent” theory, this study shows that owing to the lack of coherence and concerted effort among civilian institutions (supra), the nature of military reforms under democratic control in Indonesia remains problematic. Nonetheless, four points are clear. First, military reforms are an inseparable part of democratization, and democratic maturity should open the way for a better reforms in the military. The very fact that the military remains an integral and inseparable part of the supra is problematic. Secondly, the civil/political circle within supra is unable to fully guide, advise and orient the military in the area of national objectives, including the allocation of resources, and the use of military forces so long as the military remains autonomous in such areas as doctrine, organization, internal discipline, traits and operational planning. Thirdly, the infra -- political parties, social organizations, non-governmental organizations as well as academia and the media -- have played some roles, limited nonetheless, in setting the tone of changes, but they remain unable to keep up momentum throughout the process. Fourthly, at the implementation level, the Defense Ministry appears to have limited capacity to exercise its control over the military, especially in the area of the military budget, strategic priorities, weapons acquisition, education and doctrine. Civilian supremacy in Indonesia appears to have relied on “voluntary subordination” of the military rather than on civilian access to exercise effective control over the military. Hence, instructive policy and legal basis are both necessary and essential to yield a complete subordination of the military to the civilian democratic society."
