Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the discursive and non-discursive practices of Indonesian Government to justify their extraordinary acts in curbing extremism/radicalism. This article focuses on how state actor and their agencies convey speech act as securitizing move to posit extremism/radicalism as an existential threat towards state legitimacy and ideology. The findings indicate that state agencies frame the notion of extremism/radicalism and lead discourses to transform non-security issues of extremism to become security issues and legitimize extraordinary measures in restrictive regulations. The government mobilizes audience following consent from the critical mass persuaded by discursive practices. The outlawing of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI), Jamaah Ansharud Daulah (JAD), and enacting Anti-Terrorism Law and Presidential Decree has been produced to exercise state power. This research is a descriptive-analytical research and data are collected through library research and interviews.
