Corruption vs nationalism

Nationalism is an ideology or doctrine, which creates and maintains the sovereignty of a country to the notion of identity for a group of people to realize that language and culture of a connecting element in social interaction. Ties led to the conscience of the community nationalism / Indonesian people in the treatment of disruptive external environment.

In the history of Indonesia, in particular, nationalism is still very critical of its existence, first as a unifying ideology to fight against the Dutch or Japanese, or the struggle against the hegemony of neo-kolonilalisme. First, if people in this archipelago is scattered, there is no unifying ideology, and of course, the Dutch easily overwhelm us. This is probably the people of the archipelago are fighting each other. Furthermore, when the Dutch policy would cause hostility and attract ongoing conflicts. Second, therefore, if the people of the archipelago was able to release at least nationalism as an ideological discourse in the spirit of independence from Indonesia to call. This type of nationalism, although sometimes misunderstood, why keep the trend of Indonesian nationalism hostile to other countries. However, the increase, as the new nation was trying to stay compact conflicts as the unity of Indonesia, a threat can be addressed on behalf of Indonesian nationalism. Most third parties of nationalism can not be used to verify the identity of Indonesia, nature, making Indonesia the world. However, what is recorded with the world of Indonesian nationalism. Probably not much. At that time, regardless of the construction of Orientalism, people are more familiar with Indonesia as a nation are very friendly countries, developing countries and the poor have a language of Indonesia unit, which is more than 600 local languages ​​and have even to this day. Well, in our country, Indonesia has a number of understanding the concept of nationalism in the islands are included in one unit: the ideology, political and economic, social, cultural, religious, national security and defense).

Therefore, every citizen of Indonesia, in particular when he was appointed as a leader in the power structure that has the archipelago, where the issue should be an absolute obligation to help preserve the territorial integrity of Indonesia from Sabang to Merauke, as described in the design of IPOLEKSOSBUDAGHANKAMNAS to have. Now this from the comments of the experts can not be denied, our sense of nationalism is very thin, even at the risk of extinction. Association primordialism emerged, focused on tribal ties, regional groups, religious and / or between.

History has shown over the past 30 years, Indonesia has taken a model of authoritarian rule, popularly called the New Order regime. Consequently, many problems of resentment and discontent beneath the surface turbulence. The most important thing was the death of democracy, corruption menjamurkan, the absence of a personal right, and so on. Given the state of the table, the risk of breaking into a bomb. Many people try to religion or ethnicity to mobilize, or even brought the world such as democracy and the discourse of universal justice to resist consolidation. With a hasty and careless, the total resistance to the regime by force, overt or covert. We know that in that time the army was terrifying. The military spirit of Indonesian nationalism. However, the most effective strategy to overcome resistance to the use of the New Order government to combat nationalism, control and eliminate the disappointments that occur in local-local to be broken. Offers Indonesian nationalism ethnic nationalism, or nationalism, nationalism, religion or geographical become a potential power that destroys the State Government to hold.

In this case, nationalism should be constructed so that it focuses on how diversity (national unity) persist in the state of the Indonesian archipelago intuition that the needs of global dependence. But it's still very difficult form of nationalism was built as a social system, legal system and government system has been infected by the corrupt culture that can not be avoided. In the political system or structure of the New Order power has allowed the proliferation of massive corruption in all areas. Corruption is "anchored" to do serious damage to the lower layers of the cultural behavior of people who see corruption as part of the social system, politics, economics, law and government. Even in the early legislation to eliminate corruption Law No. 31 of 1999 Jo. Act No. 20 of 2001 that the review states that "because of the corruption that took place during the financial loss that the State or the country's economy, growth, and even the sustainability of development menghabat National requires a highly effective . "Corruption is not only financial ruin and the country's economy, but to destroy all sectors of the community, nation and a sovereign state.

Welcomes the inauguration of October 28, 2011, this young, we need new schools or schools of nationalism is the nationalism-II, where the new nationalism is all about: a). schools of national unity, because there can be unity as a people we can hire another person to another person, or are able to postpone, 2) to be solved.
