According to Ernest Renan (often referred to as the father of nationalism), nationalism defined as a desire to unite (le froufrou etreensemble d') as a nation. Will grow this awareness will be encouraged because the history or the experience of living together and traveled together.
Based on historical analysis, the Congress Youth II dated 28 October 1928 and the Youth Oath diperingati as a manifestation of the growth of national consciousness (nationalism) in the struggle of Dutch colonialism and imperialism, where the pattern of resistance before this more locally. And can not dinafikan awareness that growth could not be separated from the contribution of young people with idealism and post-implementation of new paradigms Etis Politics.
Kegemilangan young people play in the role as the motor of awareness as this is a nation that inspire them to move back to free us from political oppression, economic, legal and so forth, the leaders made their own Ironically, that is the Old Order era (1959-1966) and New Order (1966-1998).
In the field of politics, democracy is alive in the discourse and rhetoric, but in reality dead. Pembangunnan economy enjoyed only certain groups, especially the power elite, the owners of capital and close to the power elite. Meanwhile, the security of the position before the law (equality before the law) of the 1945 Constitution in Article 27 paragraph 1 is not implemented. In fact, the law is often a shield of power and become a tool for action melegalkan authoritarian ruler.
Order regime after a long and successful New Order prostrate, nationalism get serious tests, both from internal and external. From internal, Euphoria freedom can be the spirit of individualism and partikularisme. Various demands for this region that many have experienced oppression diakomodasi possible not to develop into a conflict kontraproduktif or even separatism. Nationalism also may not be fast to oversee the reform process.
Meanwhile, the external challenge is about the problem of globalization. Nationalism is not synonymous with chauvinisme. Indonesia still demanded the ability to be able to live and work nerdampingan nations dnegan world. Moreover, the 1933 Montevideo Convention on one of the elements of the state is related to the ability of other countries. However, keep in mind that the demands of globalization is not to cause interference in other countries to set up business in Indonesia so that it does not get stuck on a new round foreign imperialism. In addition, relations with foreign countries must be held to support and should not harm efforts to achieve national goals as stated in the 1945 Constitution of the fourth paragraph, namely to protect the entire Indonesian nation and the entire homeland of Indonesia, to promote general welfare, achieve the life of the nation and participate in implementing the order berasarkan world of freedom, lasting peace and social justice.
Facing these problems, the role of active young people with the spirit nasionalismenya still is necessary, among others, while maintaining the spirit of concern will be the fate of Indonesia, the awareness for the nation keentingan above personal or group interests, and moral movement to oversee the process of reform toward the front of the Indonesian nation is better in all sectors.
