Strategies to Promote Development in Conflict Areas Based on Three Pillars Development of A Nation: Stability in Economics, Politics and Security

Development of a nation has the ultimate goal of creating well-being and prosperity of social justice. Development of a nation can only run smoothly if underpinned by stability in the economic, political, and security. These three pillars of nation building, the one with the other interrelated, so it should always endeavored to be kept and maintained, by all stakeholders of development of a nation. After these three pillars can be nurtured and maintained properly, then the resource development can be driven to build the various fields in life as a nation, state and society, such as development in the economic, social, cultural, political, defense, and security.
Stability in the economic field can be maintained and nurtured through appropriate government policies, whether related directly or indirectly on various aspects of economics and finance, as well as various aspects of his supporters, such as fiscal and monetary policy, investment policy and capital markets, and other supporting policies, all of which are intended to create, preserve and maintain the economic stability of a country, including the policy of prevention and eradication of corruption. Supporting policies needed for economic stability is a policy that supports the empowerment and strengthening of Small and Medium Enterprises, Cooperatives, and Start-up businesses.
On domestic political stability can only be created when all the political processes running an honest, transparent, uphold the aspirations of the community through representation in parliament, put public interest above personal interests and groups, ensuring freedom of association, assembly and speech, the level of national life nation and society. In addition, should advance the process of deliberation and consensus prior to the voting, so that decisions can be achieved by acclamation. It must be realized that the decision taken by deliberation and consensus, and acclamation, has a quality decision that is relatively better than the decision through a vote, in particular for multi-party democracies, because did not rule out the aspirations of a small group in the parliament represent the real aspirations of most people, but because it is associated with the interests of large groups in the parliament through a vote would end if the aspiration is not going to get away and rejected. Condition of the political process in multi-party democracy, will be very different from that in democracies that have only two or three parties, each party has a relatively balanced strength, as in the United States. In essence, the implementation of democracy and political process, local knowledge of a country or region, should be able to color the ongoing process of democratic and political process, so that the implementation process of democratic and political processes in decision-making is not merely meant as a majority vote decision through a vote, but can also be through a process of deliberation and consensus to take decisions unanimously. In the process of deliberation and consensus, the decision-making is generally based on the aspect of reality, logical and measured, because the forces that influence the decision-making comes from the power of reality, logical and scalable, which is presented by each participant in the decision making process. Democracy is just a political process, and not associated with the level of violence in society. So, there is no real correlation between a better democratic process with reduced levels of violence in society. However, the reduced level of violence in society is correlated with the actual enforcement of human rights, and vigorous enforcement.
Furthermore, stability in security is a key element that must be preserved and maintained, through law enforcement is strong, assertive, authoritative, and fair. The performance of law enforcement determines the level of security in a country. Law enforcement is not just a legal action, but also includes the prevention of security threats. Disturbance of peace and order in society will often occur when law enforcement is weak. Associated with the prominence of young people in a country not correlate significantly with the possibility of security problems, if the easier it has a better education levels, and supported by the vast employment opportunities. Correlated only real security threats against high unemployment, injustice, social and economic inequality, frustration against political behavior and government policies that do not favor the low-income and poor communities. The emergence of the separatist as well as driven by the imbalance of development between regions and injustice. Low levels of education for the easy and wide opening of job opportunities, leading to frustration and a sense of sensitive covert on various matters related to social and economic life, and a sense of frustration and sensitivity were high, driven by the feeling of wanting to be appreciated and strengthen existence of self, which in the process is often not controlled, so easily influenced by any provocation, a provocation that is both spontaneous and structured.
In promoting development in conflict areas, should be done through local wisdom approach, especially regarding social, cultural and economic community. Key elements of the approach to local wisdom, among others, are as follows.
1. Establish communication intensive, full of intimacy and mutual respect with local leaders and community leaders, such as traditional leaders, religious leaders, youth leaders, facilitated by development agencies and figures from outside the region or conflict, so that can know the root of the problem becomes triggers of conflict and thus can be formulated strategies and actions to prevent or escalate the conflict, deal with conflict wisely is going on, and perform physical and non physical rehabilitation of the impact of conflict.
2. Prioritize areas of development that can involve many people, providing direct benefits perceived by many people, both in the short term (within the scope of social safety nets) as well as benefits in the long term (empowerment and strengthening of institutional, economic resource potential, and vital infrastructure needed in areas of conflict).
3. To monitor and evaluate the implementation of intensive development, and perform control immediately if required, so ensuring that all construction activity going according to plan and provide maximum benefit to society in general.
The occurrence of various disturbances are generally triggered by sharing things that have been described above, both of which occurred in Vietnam, the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as in other parts of the world. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the root problems that cause interference such security. If disturbances driven by a particular group, should be approached on a group to find out the cause of their dissatisfaction, rather than do the counter attack, tasting as terrorists, and various things that deepened their hatred and discontent. By knowing the root of the problem and the things that drive them to commit acts of violence, it can be done in a comprehensive guidance to the group to prevent the action, in order to restore their normal life, as has been attempted in the separatist conflict in Aceh, Indonesia, by the Free Aceh Movement. Experience shows, that for decades made approach to handling security with military forces deployed in very large numbers in Aceh, did not give any results, and the only sacrifice of human lives from both sides, and victims of civil society in a number of is very large. However, after the modified approach through intensive communication and friendly, with upholding local wisdom, only a few times in the negotiations and only a relatively short time, all can be restored. Starting from the former personnel separatist naturalization process, the withdrawal of weapons, physical and social rehabilitation, as well as giving equal rights with other citizens, all may go well.
Increased corruption in a country or region does not correlate significantly with increasing violence, but the trigger for increased violence, as described above. However, corruption is an extra-ordinary crime, so the corruption must be eradicated in the face of the earth, due to rampant corruption, greatly hinder the implementation of development, and ultimately hinder the achievement of development goals in general, that is prosperous and equitable society. However, the completion of proceedings against the convicted criminals who do not satisfy the justice of society, can lead to violence. Any crime that occurred, involving unscrupulous and corrupt government the middle class and upper class (such as individual entrepreneurs), the completion of legal wounded sense of justice, can lead to public dissatisfaction, which prompted loud protests and acts of violence by protesters participants. Therefore, the punishment to the perpetrators of corruption should be given to the full extent, without indiscriminately. Major corruption cases involving elements of power, and or a person close to power, should be a top priority to be prosecuted.
Advances in technology, especially information technology, providing real influence for the advancement and welfare of the community through the wise utilization of technology devices and positive. However, if the progress of the technological devices used to launch a counter-activities against the implementation of development, counter to efforts to maintain security, or used for other criminal activities, then the results of these technological advances will give negative impact to the community. Therefore, the progress of a technology must be coupled with a security device in the use and learning about the wise use and positive impact on the progress of society. By A. Harizt Intan
