Menghubungkan Ketahanan Hayati dengan Pembangunan Masyarakat di Indonesia: Menuju Strategi Komunikasi yang Lebih Efektif dalam Pembangunan

Abstract

This paper seeks to present a multi paradigmatic approach to development in Indonesia using biosecurity and community development as examples of how priorities and agendas of different development groups or communities can be inter-linked in order to meet the expectations and perspectives of each group jointly. This differs from a single paradigm approach which professes to be inclusive, but in actual fact is oriented towards reaching the objectives and output which serve only one perspective, i.e. that of the founder or planner. The paper serves to emphasize the importance of communication strategies not as a one way process of "enlightenment" from providers to beneficiaries, but as multidimensional processes of knowledge recognition and exchange. This includes support towards internal rationalization and effective negotiation between stakeholders. Here it is argued that it is not only important to be aware of the existence of a variety of paradigms shaping the way different development communities interact. More important is to build an appreciation between development communities that each of these paradigms hold true for their respective communities and linking between paradigms rather than forcing context based rationale to follow broader, unbound rationalities. This paper is far from being a complete work but insteads seeks to encourage further studies and exploration in order to develop more effective and democratic communication strategies. As thoughts originally presented as a seminal paper, it is hoped that the ideas presented can be further elaborated and strengthened with input and perspectives from more Indonesian as well as global experiences.
