The Origin of U.S. National Security Institutions: Politics Among Bureaucracies in the Creation of the National Security Council

That approach requires a interagencies coordinating forum to break any strategic bureucratic blockades. Such forum is known as National Security Council (NCS). In Indonesia, NCS is not created.

Hal tersebut menuntut adanya forum koordinasi lintas kementerian/lembaga agar hambatan terkait birokrasi yang bersifat strategis dapat diterabas. Forum seperti itu dikenal dengan Dewan Keamanan Nasional (DKN). Di Indonesia, DKN belum terbentuk. Naskah ini berusaha mengkaji pembentukan DKN yang saat ini terkendala dengan absennya UU Keamanan Nasional. Kata Kunci: lintas kementerian/lembaga, forum koordinasi, Dewan Keamanan Nasional (DKN)

In the spring of 1981 I designed and taught what I considered, at the time, a "high risk" seminar for seventeen junior and senior political science majors. There were to be no textbooks, no lectures, no examinations and no term papers, those hallmarks of the traditional college course. Nevertheless, when the thirteen week course was over, the students were exhausted and claimed that they had never worked so hard in their college careers.The adventure that my students (and I) undertook was a semester long simulation of the United States National Security Council (NSC), dealing with actual global events as they happened. As Washington dealt with a problem, we dealt with the same problem. The simulation was initially offered during the deteriorating situation in Iran and instability in the Gulf region.

This article examines the performance of the U.S. National Security Council as a policy-making body vis-à-vis the southern African conflict under the Nixon and Ford Administrations. It discusses and verifies the hypothesis that the institutionalized System of the NSC gives the President a way of seriously improving his policies, by analyzing (within a structured and formalized framework) the range of options and alternatives, free of negative bureaucratic influences. Furthermore, it shows the impact that the presidential decisions had over the orientation of the southern African conflict from 1969 to 1976.
