dc.description.abstractThis study examines the roles that can be played by a political party to transform conflict and build peace in a post-conflict region. It specifically focuses on the political transformation facilitated by a peace agreement to end the conflict. By looking at the case of the political transformation of the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) into local political parties, this study sees the viability of the political transformation approach to resolve self-determination conflict and build sustainable peace and a stable democracy. This study especially focuses on the following objectives: (1) to investigate the linkages between democratization and the political transformation of a rebellion into local political parties; (2) to determine the extent of participation of former GAM members in building political institutions and especially local political parties; (3) to study the formation of local political parties in Aceh and the roles that they have played to carry out democratic tasks to transform the conflict and contributing to a sustainable peace and a stable democracy; (4) to study the process of building an agonistic democracy in Aceh, which can be seen as an institutional basis for sustaining the political transformation and building democracy in Aceh. This study uses the method of in-depth interview with the local political players to gather data and information. It also uses the discourse analysis approach to analyze political articulations, political identity formation, and democratic movements that have involved former GAM members in the new era of democratization in Aceh. The study finds that the political transformation of the rebel group into local political parties is the key factor for the success of conflict transformation and peace building in Aceh. While the participation of former GAM members in socio-economic recovery programs provides a pragmatic basis of political transformation, their participation in the building of local political parties provides an institutional basis for political transformation. The study finally concludes that the engagement of the former GAM into local political parties itself is not enough to transform politics in Aceh, but it should be supported by reactivation of the local political parties in articulating and representing democratic demands of the Acehnese people and practicing agonistic democracy in the arena of public policy making.en_US
