Abstract:
This paper examines Indonesian army's commitment today to professionalization, particularly in restraining themselves from doing business for profit through army cooperatives as they vastly did in the past during the New Order. It questions whether or not the army has given up all business for profit activities through the cooperative and focuses on building professional military in the post-New Order democracy. A qualitative research was conducted for this paper, using in-depth interviews and archive studies as the methods of data collection. This paper argues that the fact that the army persistently maintains their businesses indicates the drive to stay and contest in the political arena, instead of returning to barrack. This has affected civilmilitary relations in several ways. First, the capacity to generate income independently from the state gives the army a certain degree of leverage to the government's decision making. Second, it's partial independence reduces the capacity of the state to apply civilian control over the military through budget and policies. And third, the relatively high contestation and privilege resulted from this relation has been keeping the military a significant player in Indonesia's domestic politics that led it into oligarchy instead of liberal democracy.
