Abstract

This chapter examines Japan's interaction with Indonesia through a case of JICAJapan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)’s assistance program for the Indonesian National Police (INP) Reform. In the 1990s, the paradigm of development aid shifted from economic development to people-centered development. The new Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICAJapan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)), a comprehensive Official Development Assistance (ODAOfficial Development Assistance (ODA)) implementing agency that deals with loanLoan aid, grantGrant aid, and technical cooperationTechnical cooperation, was established in 2008. In the post-Cold War environment, JICAJapan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)'s international cooperation projects have become increasingly diversified. The emergence of “governanceGovernance” on the agenda symbolizes the new trend. Among the JICAJapan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) projects, the police-related projects were unique. The police lie at the core of a country's administration. JICAJapan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)'s field offices could not make decisions, as is the case in the fields of agriculture and health. The program was initiated by a formal request by the Indonesian governmentGovernment to the Japanese governmentGovernment. The police were separated from the National Armed Force in 2000, which became a crucial component for democratization in Indonesia. The overall strategy of the program focused on a project to implement community policing in a model police force, and then to extend the results of that project nationwide across Indonesia. The implications of the above project will be considered from both the Indonesian and Japanese sides.
