“…The US won Cold War with its narrative standing superlative. In the years following the fragmentation of the Soviet block and the perception that the United States was victorious in the ideological war against Communist Soviet Union rendered the hurling pad for fundamental reorientation of the American thinking of the 20th century (Pamment, 2014). Francis Fukuyama, the well-known American scholar, depicted the new American mindset by asserting that finally every substitute to free world was defeated and it was the end of history (Fukuyama, 1989(Fukuyama, /1992.…”

This article examines how militants in Northern Pakistan capitalized on religious narratives to reconstruct militants' reality in anticipation to help entrench their presence and control in the conflict torn district of Swat. The study entailed collection of data from both primary as well as secondary sources. Primary data were collected through conducting semi-structured interviews, whereas secondary data were collected through a rigorous review of a variety of secondary sources. The growing discontent with the dismal performance of prevailing public institutional arrangements abetted prominent militants' groups to make public sentiments docile through exploiting a well-orchestrated narrative reconstruction mechanism. Once the formal judicial system caved into whimsical religious interpretations, militants took this as an opportunity to swiftly take charge of resolving the local disputes in anticipation to win both the hearts and minds of the people. The implicit designs underlying establishment of the so-called parallel system of justice, however, surfaced once militants were able to get hold of controlling the region. The clash between formal and informal institutions ensued in commotion in the region, which was grappled with a use of force by the State. The long-term peace and stability and restoration of trust on the formal and informal institutions warrant the

“…The general definition of strategic narratives includes an assumption that they are “a means for political actors to construct a shared meaning of international politics to shape the behaviour of domestic and international actors” and “strategic narratives are a tool for political actors to change the discursive environment in which they operate, manage expectations, and extend their influence” (Roselle et al, 2014: 3). According to James Pamment (2013: 50), strategic narrative is applied to investigate how an actor (1) positions himself/herself on the international arena and (2) formulates his/her political aims. Actors can utilise different means of communication; refer to a national, regional, or international system or a specific issue; and construct narratives about themselves and others.…”

Indonesia’s rise, its democracy promotion, and engagement in the democratisation of regional institutions have often been analysed in scholarly literature in the recent years. Indonesia’s “democratic turn,” both internal and external, increased its relevance in international relations. The academic discussion focuses on the role and meaning of Indonesia’s contribution. The aim of this article is to broaden the debate by analysing the meaning of “democracy” in Indonesian narrative investigated from the perspective of the strategic narratives concept and to propose a new framework for the assessment of narrative based on its coherence. Therefore, the research question is – Are the strategic narratives of democracy articulated by Indonesia coherent? The analysis shows, and it is an argument, that with some exceptions strategic narratives are incoherent and this incoherence has two dimensions: intra- and inter-incoherence. The argument is substantiated by an analysis of Indonesian foreign policy strategies and political speeches.
