ANALYZING THE SUPPORT OF INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT UNDER JOKO WIDODO ADMINISTRATION TO THE YOUTH, PEACE AND SECURITY AGENDA (UNSCR 2250)

Abstract

In 2015, the Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) agenda / UNSC Resolution 2250 was born and became a new guideline and reminder for countries to empower youth, especially in any peace-building efforts, at the domestic and international levels. The Jokowi government then began implementing various kinds of program innovations that were considered to be able to help improve the quality of youth as well as stimulate the level of youth involvement in various international issues, including the issue of peace building. Therefore, this paper will focus on analyzing the level of support from the Indonesian government for youth, more specifically to the Youth, Peace and Security agenda. Using primary data sources (government data & reports) and secondary data sources (news, journals & articles), this paper will present a list of information about the programs and strategies taken by the government and the results obtained from these various programs and strategies.
