Abstract

This research explores cooperation to solve the disputing and fights between martial-art groups in Madiun City, Indonesia, namely Persaudaraan Setia Hati Terate (PSHT) and Persaudaraan Setia Hati Winongo (PSHW). These wars of imagined identity and territorial dispute shake the stability of the public. Utilising qualitative case study, research applies George C. Edwards III’s policy implementation theory and John Burton’s human needs theory to examine how cooperation between the city government and Kodim 0803/Madiun inhibits violence. Analysis of interview data and informal observation in the field indicate that the key to successful cooperation lies in informal power, cultural awareness and careful organisation. Relevant theory is presented by the SENOPATI (Integrated Collaborative Center for Silat Conflict Resolution), which is a local prevention the study suggests. The results supply practical and theoretical implications for how to address community identity disputes in the context of cross-jurisdictional governance.
