Abstract

The history of radicalism in Indonesia, especially those rooted in religious teachings, has been quite long. In this context, radicalism is understanding and a group of people who believe in a specific understanding that is generally confronted with or not symmetrical with what society generally understands. In the history of Indonesian independence, radicalism has always been synonymous with the movement to seize power from the ruling government or establish a new state or new regime, as is the history of DI/TII, PRRI/PERMESTA, Komando Jihad, and others. This study aims to find out people's perception of the meaning of radicalism in Indonesia. Whether people's views on radicalism remain as seen above, or has it begun to change. Similarly, related to the factors that cause the emergence of understanding and followers of radicalism in Indonesia. What factors influence society so that they are interested in joining the understanding or even the radicalism movement. One of the conclusions of this study is that factors that can affect a person or group of people associated with radicalism are poverty factors. The difficulty of everyday people's lives is one of the contributing factors. Therefore, this research focuses more on how poverty can be a fertile field for the growth of radicalism in Indonesia. In addition to poverty, this study also examined other factors concerning radicalism, such as religious and political factors. Is then radicalism, in the meaning written above, minimized or even eliminated from Indonesia? What strategy should be implemented if the public argues that radicalism can be eliminated? The output of this research is a model that can be developed to eliminate or at least minimize radicalism in Indonesia.
