Synergy Between TNI And Polri In Preventing Radicalism To Achieve National Stability (Case Study In Korem 074/Warastratama)

Abstract

Radicalism is a significant threat to national stability that requires special attention from various state security elements, including the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and the Indonesian National Police (Polri). This study aims to analyse the synergy between TNI and Polri in their efforts to prevent radicalism in the Korem 074/Warastratama region. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research explores how coordination, communication, and collaboration between these two institutions contribute to mitigating radical threats in the area. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis, and then analysed using a triangulation method. The findings indicate that the synergy established between TNI and Polri in the Korem 074/Warastratama region has been effective in suppressing the spread of radical ideologies. However, challenges such as policy differences, sectoral egos, and technical coordination issues need to be addressed to further enhance the effectiveness of this collaboration. This study is expected to contribute to strengthening national security policies by improving inter-agency synergy to safeguard national stability from the threat of radicalism.
