Diplomasi Indonesia Terhadap Unesco Dalam Menjadikan Pencak Silat Sebagai Warisan Budaya Takbenda
This study describes the process and path of Indonesia’s diplomacy towards
UNESCO to formalize Pencak Silat as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Indonesia.
The discussion includes a description of the activities carried out by the actors since
the process of preparing the pencak silat’s dossier, until it was determined by
UNESCO. The nomination process is carried out through the Secretariat of
Intangible Cultural Heritage and is included in the category of a representative list,
because this tradition is still alive and thriving in the lives of Indonesian people.
The Constructivism perspective used in this study views that identity and
culture are relevant categories in understanding contemporary international
relations, as well as being the main factor in understanding the relations and policies
at the international level with their dynamic nature. This study uses the theory of
multi-track diplomacy and the concept of Intangible Culture. Descriptive qualitative
method is used to examine various government and non-government efforts that
collaborate together in the success of the official determination of the tradition of
pencak silat by UNESCO. The data was collected through a review of related
documents, websites, literature studies, and videos.
From 9 to 14 December 2019, the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage
Committee held a meeting located in Bogota, Colombia. A total of 24 member
countries of the committee discussed about six nominations in the Need of Urgent
Safeguarding nominations, 42 Representative List nominations and three Register of
Good Safeguarding Practices proposals in the session. In its effort to nominate
pencak silat to UNESCO, there are two diplomatic channels used by Indonesia,
namely the government route (track one) and the non-government route (track two).
The collaboration between the government, the community or local communities is
the key to the success of proposing the tradition of pencak silat as a UNESCO
Intangible Cultural Heritage.
