Abstract

This paper is intended to analyze the relationship between state, civil society, democracy and democratization by examining the case of the development of Social Organizations in Indonesia. The article is motivated by the existence of the event of the dissolution of CSOs in Indonesia which is a threat to the sustainability of democracy and democratization. The existence of civil society organization becomes pre conditions of democracy state that is independent association and is needed as a counterweight to the strength of the state. The results of this paper show that (1) CSOs in Indonesia can not be freed from the influence of the interests of the authorities because the Community Organization does not develop in a political vacuum. (2) Dissolution of CSOs is a form of decline from democracy if it is not based on good legal principle that is fulfillment of substantive justice aspect. (3) Consolidated democracy in Indonesia will be difficult if the social organization can not play its role as a counterweight to state power and is used only as an instrument of power from the state.
