Summary of PAHAMI DULU INI SEBELUM TOLAK REVISI UU TNI, BIAR GAK GAMPANG DIBODOHIN BUZZER! - KULIAH DR MULYADI
In the lecture presented by Dr. Mulyadi, he discusses the importance of military power in national defense and international diplomacy, emphasizing that every country requires some form of military strength. He argues that military diplomacy is crucial for global powers, citing examples such as China, Russia, and the United States, each utilizing different forms of military influence.
Dr. Mulyadi categorizes military typologies, asserting that the ideal military is a "professional revolutionary army," while he critiques the "Praetorian army" model, which seeks profit and often involves itself in politics for personal gain. He elaborates on various models of military involvement in politics, including interventionist roles and bureaucratic control, warning against the dangers of military overreach in governance.
The lecturer also addresses the ongoing debate surrounding the revision of military laws (the Ti bill) in Indonesia, arguing that a clear understanding of military roles, civil supremacy, and the function of the Indonesian Armed Forces (ABRI) is essential to prevent anti-military sentiments that could weaken national defense. He highlights the historical context of military involvement in Indonesian politics, particularly during the Suharto era, and the necessity of distinguishing between military functions and civilian authority.
Dr. Mulyadi concludes by stressing the importance of integrating military, political, and economic strategies for national security, while advocating for a balanced approach that recognizes civilian supremacy in governance without undermining the military's critical role in safeguarding the nation.
