AbstractCOOPERATION AMONG RELIGIOUS PEOPLES : A STUDY OF RECONCILIATION OF POST-RELIGIOUS CONFLICTS IN MALUKU AND TUAL: At the end of the New Order regime, Indonesia faced with various conflicts, ranging from the conflicts between the Madurese and Dayak ethnic in Sampit and Sambas (Borneo), to the conflicts between Muslims and Christians in Poso (Sulawesi) and in Ambon, Maluku in 1999. This paper analyzes the model or the form of cooperation between religious communities in Maluku and Tual after the conflicts of 1999. The study reveals that the repressive and security approach in efforts to minimize religious conflict and to reconcile the two warring parties in the region was completely inappropriate as the conflicts in Maluku and Tual were complex and multi-dimensional. The conflict resolution efforts, therefore, can not be confined to the efforts of the cessation of violence and reconciliation alone, but it also requires a social reconstruction and strengthening of local identities existing in the regions.Kata Kunci : Konflik Agama, Rekonsiliasi, Maluku, Tual
