The Global environment and the Concept of Nasional Kita Endurance
The secretary of the Executive Center for Indonesian Reform (CIR) and the alumnus of the Strategic Studies Program, S Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) Singapore
"When wood finally was finished, water finally was finished, humankind could not still eat"
Already during him the perspective of the environment entered the concept of national endurance (national security) us?
The question that came to the forefront was how far the critical point environmental endurance (environmental sustainability) we became the centre point of attention of policy makers?
Must be acknowledged that the dimension national security today more was dominated by the concept traditional securityyang was connected with rumours of the security, the conflict, and the threat had a military nature.
Alhasil, the strategy that was formulated more reflected the interests of the guarding of the stability of the security in this traditional perspective.
The perspective namely the modernisation of security apparatus and the military as anticipation and the response towards the sovereignty threat and the disintegration.
The weakness of this traditional look method of being his inability to anticipate the dynamics of the threat to the existence of humankind, both socially and ecologically.
Might be, this view was too luxurious for the Third World country or Indonesia that was growing.
However at least, for Gareth Porter, the expert in the globalisation saw that the identity of the problem of the environment always berkelin and with rumours of the national security, good because of the environmental factor personally that triggered the social disintegration and the international conflict or because of the impact of global environmental damage.
For the first reason, increasingly rare him mineral resources became international attention and were indicated in the medium term and long will become the source of the conflict and the potential dispute international.
For example in the regional ASEAN region, mutual China Selatan Sea claims happened by nation ASEAN or ASEAN vis a vis China, the territorial conflict sea in the Ambalat Bloc between Indonesia and Malaysia, the conflict between China and Japan on the Diaoyoku atoll, the conflict between Japan and Russia on the Kuril Island, as well as the conflict between China and Taiwan on the Taiwanese status personally and the Paracel Islands.
Was like this the second reason, the occurrence of the drastic change in the climate of the earth because of global warming more was caused by the policy of the politicians and the behaviour of the community that not pro-the environment.
This damage has significantly changed lanskap our global environment so as to produce the very close threat take the form of ketidakseimbangan the ecosystem and the global climate disorder.
We currently witnessed that the impact of natural disaster damage today the tsunami, the flash flood, and the storm factually exceed damage resulting from the war or terorisme.Kemungkinan in the future, so a country economically was buried because of the natural disaster factor, not the war or conversely the war happened precisely because of the nature factor, namely the scarcity of the natural resources of oil, gas, and water.
The Global environment and the Nasional Kita Ada Security of two main reasons rumours of the environment became attention of the centre of our politicians in the Motherland, firstly, rumours nontraditional security (the natural disaster threat, global warming, and endemic the bird flu illness and the like) already ordinary became attention of the country- developed countries because of the characteristics and the character of his threat that was refined (subtle).
Secondly, the degradation threat of the global environment (environmental depletion) was the close and factual threat.
This factor of nature damage damaged endurance (sustainability) many countries that caused the potential loss to take the form of the GDP fall, the productivity loss, and destruction of the biological wealth.
In this perspective, Indonesia became one of the casualties at the same time the perpetrators from environmental damage us. As much as 80% tropical forest were damaged by us so as to give the global warming contribution that will trigger the storm and the flood bandang. Storm sea in Queensland, Australia, some time before, including that was biggest for the length of one age this. In the perspective of maritime economics (maritimebased economy) ,negara will experience the loss that was big because of not going him the activity of economics resulting from storm. Fisherman did not go to sea, domestic trade damage and the export and the import that was based on the transport of sea did not go.
In fact, more than 80% international trade relied on the transport route of ocean. Di Indonesia, the overflowing natural disaster of the river was in the Solo River, that was endless accompanied by the flood in Lampung, Sulawesi, Riau and South Kalimantan, contributed upper melamban him the growth of economics.
Apart from the context of the handling, these rumours were regional and international.
Necessarily, Indonesia carried out the breakthrough in formulating again the concept of endurance that more was comprehensive.
The political will versus the interests of Problemanya Economics, in many countries, environmental endurance (environmental security) became rumours of accessories.
The interests factor of economics it was suspected became his obstacle.
In the Indonesian context, environmental damage in the Motherland had links with the interests of the financiers as well as the civil apparatus business and the based military the forest management.
This sector channelled trillions rupiah to the country's treasury also the perpetrators of this sector without large capital. Derive from the Dephan data, Negara it was estimated ran at a loss USD3 million a year because pembalakan wild.
dalam kondisi dilematis ini,tepat sekali apa yang diungkapkan Al Gore, kandidat Wapres dari partai Demokrat dan penggiat lingkungan, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something that his salary depends on his not understanding".Wallahu a’lam.
