Peranan Wawasan Nusantara Sebagai Upaya Dalam Mengatasi Konflik Nasional

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the largest archipelagic countries in the world. As a multicultural country, Indonesia certainly has a variety of ethnicities, cultures, and religions that are spread across various regions, from Sabang to Merauke. This diversity is likened to a double-edged knife. Knives can benefit or harm the user depending on how they are used. Similarly, diversity can have positive or negative sides depending on how people respond to it. The diversity that exists in Indonesia often causes friction between communities due to differences. These differences can cause conflicts in society. Therefore, insight into the archipelago is an important aspect of community life as a form of unity. The main purpose of writing this article is to look into the role of the archipelago's insight toward handling national conflicts. This research was conducted through a qualitative research approach and used a literature study to obtain and analyze data. Through this literature study, research references are obtained from previous research articles that are relevant to the subject matter. The results of this study prove that the concept of the archipelago has an important role in efforts to solve national conflicts.
