ABSTRACT
Introduction The aim of this chapter is to provide an analysis of the securitization of health under conditions of communal war in Maluku and North Maluku, and rebellion in Aceh. Maluku, a province that has been divided into two provinces – Maluku and North Maluku – in October 1999, has been the scene of communal violence since January 1999. The violence that has caused the death of thousands of people is called ‘horizontal conflict’, which involves communities from different religious backgrounds and aggravated by, among others, changes in the composition of the population caused by transmigration and migration. As a critical security problem faced by Indonesia, the violence in Maluku and North Maluku is characterized by the failure of the security apparatus to stop the violence and protect the citizens.
