Abstract

Conflicts involving members of martial arts organizations can be seen as a common phenomenon due to various factors. One of the contributing factors is the military-political crisis as well as the eastern and western racial conflict so-called “Lorosa’e no Loromonu” that occurred in 2006. Besides, the conflicts are caused by the different backgrounds of every martial arts organization before the independence of Timor Leste and ideological factors contributed to the conflict. Based on this, public stakeholders must have a high commitment to collaborating in creating a resolution towards the ongoing conflict. This is pertinent to the customary belief of the citizens of Timor Leste, which is animism. This research uses a qualitative method through a case study approach. This study identifies the use of a collaborative governance approach that is developed and employed as an alternative in creating resolutions to these conflicts. Such an approach emphasizes that joint resolution of complicated conflicts which are difficult to resolve unilaterally can be achieved by involving collaboration from various cross-sector collaboration through mediation, negotiation, face-to-face dialogue, and deliberation. One of the results of findings is indicated the failure of the government to carry out the mediation and dialogue processes organized by the government called “Nahe Buiti Bo’ot” due to the lack of involvement of community traditional leaders. Their involvement is considered crucial in creating joint conflict resolution. Therefore, conflict resolution in martial arts organizations through collaborative governance must involve various public and private sectors to provide alternatives to conflict.
