Abstract
Diversity of ethnic, religion, customs or cultures lead Indonesia to be potentially vulnerable to social conflicts. As we know, each social conflict has its own unique characteristics. According to Blagojevic, some social conflicts happened in society are simply caused by a major structural crisis. The other ones are triggered by the presence of historical memories of inter-ethnic-religious grievances or by institutional factors that promote ethnic religious intolerance. Some are manipulation of historical memories by political entrepreneurs to evoke emotions such as fear, resentment, and hate toward the ‘other’. Rather than seeing as an asset of a country, diversity is sometimes inevitably seen as something that lead more to a conflict. This paper will outline some of the ethnic and religious conflicts in Indonesia and the resolutions, including the resolution using the norms and provisions of existing laws. In addition, this paper will explain how education and dialogue turned out to be an important key to prevent conflicts and initiate peace building in society. It has to be understood that in dealing with social conflicts occurred and can potentially occur in the future, people need to get adequate knowledge about the causes of conflicts and the effects perceived if a conflict occurs. People also need information how to minimize casualties in the event of a conflict. Continuous quality dialogue involving various parties must also be conducted with emphasis on mutual trust and understanding of each other. Keywords: diversity, religion and ethnic conflict, education and inter-cultural dialog, peace building initiative
