Abstract

The reformation wave 98 has given fresh air for the growth of democracy in Indonesia. The collapse of the hegemonic New Order power has given rise to public pressure to bring democracy into state practice. In the democratization system the existence of civil society becomes a necessity to control the power of the state as well as the process of bargaining position in fighting for the aspirations and interests of society. Therefore, state power is not absolute and more forward to the interests of public aspirations. In civil society requires critical society, rational thinking and can appreciate differences. At the same time the state must also open up a space of freedom for the community to assemble and associate in order to strike for that interest. With the result that public participation in coloring the policy process can be realized.
