WHAT IS KYBERNOLOGY? (Part III)

WHAT IS KYBERNOLOGY?

COMMUNITY, NOT THE STATE

At The First Instant, Observations Focused On Community,

Not The State, As The Object Materia Of The Study.

I understand that every community is a cultural entity. It begins with families. The community is driven by three movers or subcultures. The first one is economic. We call this economic subculture (ESC). ESC is the fundamental culture of human being. Its main functions are to preserves and creates values. Basic needs of people that must be fulfilled to make human life sustainable, consist of various kinds of values

Values needed are products of exploitation, elaboration, reconstruction, and development of natural, human, and virtual resources. Of course, there is a natural mechanism to run the value systems and processes called the rule of the market, but now and then the haves groups are still dominant over those have-nots, so the rule is hard to enforce.  

The ESC itself brings injustice since the value gained depends on the amount of resources possessed. The great the amount of resources owned, the higher is the value gained. The rich will be going on richer and richer while the poor become poorer and poorer. To overcome these ever-wider discrepancies and anticipate its negative impacts, people posses another subculture called power subculture (PSC). The actor of the PSC is the government (Ind. pemerintah). PSC responsible for controlling the ownership and exploitation of resources, serving the customers, and adjusting value distributions among people. To make the PSC capable to function, for example to keep peace, enforce rule and implementing the law, some special values charged into it. They are authority, force, coercion, violence, and sometimes it can punish by death sentence. Being charged with those values, the actor of PSC can arbitrarily do what Lord Acton once said “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

The building of PSC is going through political process, called election. Out of the election process, rise up two parties the paid and the payer. The elector pays with his or her vote (vox populi), so the candidate (the paid) get power to govern. Based on this transaction, the payer  becomes a customer. Why elector elects the candidate? Not because the candidate has shown good performance on the position which fought for, but because the candidate promises something in the future. Here again rise two parties: the promisee  and the promisor (promiser). The promisor promises something needed by the promisee to do when the candidate has been elected. In this case, as said above, the promisee becomes costumer. How if the customer has no capability to gain the thing promised? He or she will be victimized. He or she becomes victim of the promisor’s incapability. Without an effort for rescuing, the victim becomes prey for predators. That is why community pays strong attention in to control the building of PSC upward, and to control its actions overtime downward.

So far, the analysis shows that community gets various qualities, namely payer, promisee, customer, victim, and prey. Those complex of qualities is called social subculture (SSC). How the community or the SSC controls the PSC upstream and downstream? It controls the PSC upstream (upward) with its political quality called constituent, by constitutes the future of their own: making laws, policies, and plans development programs for progress. Then, the SSC controls the PSC downstream by monitoring and evaluating the value distribution among people, and ask the PSC for responsibility. These processes resulting in day-by-day political culture of the nation and the political attitude of the people toward next election. Analogizing a soccer

competition, the role of each subculture of the community, seems subsequently like  players, referee (judges), and the ticket payers---the viewers. Figure 2 shows how every subculture interacts one to each other. Let us define the interaction between

subcultures as governance (Ind. pemerintahan).

If the governance succeeded in delivering such performance, notably the sustainable increasing of the level of life of the whole people, as ECOSOC of the United Nations declared in 1956, “to improve the economic, social and cultural conditions of communities, to integrate those communities  into the life of the nation, and to enable them to contribute fully to national progress,” then we say, the governance is good, the community lives in the state of good governance. Otherwise, bad governance.

The question now is, how to make the interactions of subcultures capable of producing good performance? There are five conditions to take into account or conditio sine qua non, namely:

1.      Conformity, which is the degree of time and direction precision and synchronization of the three subcultures aiming at the common and committed goal, so the success of one subculture doesn’t destroy by the performance of the other. In another words, we say it coordination. The more independent the relations between subcultures, the more the coordination important
2.  Balance, that is the degree of bargaining power of one subculture in relation to  the other,  so each subculture gets equal opportunity and ability to bargains,   that resulting in mutual consent and common commitment   
3. Harmony, that is the degree of compatibility of attitude and behavior between different subcultures, to create and maintain maximum organizational or   national achievement, by the controlling of or adjust to the least “out of tune,”     discordant or indecent of behavior between parties as early as possible  
4.  Dynamics or motion, that is the degree of accuracy and acceleration of  adaptability to changes of the three subcultures, as to realize positive fluent  community movement from state of homeostasis to heterostasis and vice versa, and to make a progress of one subculture resulting in a progress of the others
5       Sustainability, which is the degree of self-propelling growth and development of  the community on a long term basis. 

In line with the above analysis, the object of study of Kybernology is governance rather than government.

THE APPROACHES

Approaching is the way of aim at a focus of interest, using theories as tool of analyses and relevant techniques of existing disciplines of science as means to observation, from a certain angle comparing with the others’. See Figure 2.

There are at least five approaches to an object of study.  They are:

(1) meta-disciplinary, (2) mono-disciplinary, (3) multi-disciplinary, (4) inter-disciplinary,and (5) cross-disciplinary approaches (Figure 3).

Getting closer to any object of which a BOK is not yet come into being, we use the meta-disciplinary approach. Before the BOK on the object called governance reconstruct and the building materials discovered, we use the meta-disciplinary approach to go into and observe empathically. Figure 4 shows what is the meta-disciplinary approach with its seven routes of thought and Figure 5 shows how it works.

Landing on the Indonesian ground, we realize that although they looked diverse (Ind. bhinneka), they have the inner and deeper religious experience from time to time. The religious experience blend all the different communities into single  feeling and sole national consciousness (Ind. tunggal ika). It seemed that other countries in the world, share the same religious experience. William James (1842-1910) in his famous  classic 

on the psychology of religion, The Varieties of Religious Experience (1958) arrived at three hypotheses: “1. The subconscious self as intermediating between nature and the higher region. 2. The higher region, or ‘God.’ 3. He produces real effects in nature.” Half a century before William James, Mr L. P. van de Spiegel in his Schets (op. cit., 1801), has identified two kinds of highest Good, the spiritual (het verstandelijk Geluk) included religion (Godsdienst), and the physical (het lighaamelijk Geluk). Religion included  That is why before the BOK on the object called governance reconstruct and the building materials discovered, we use the meta-disciplinary approach to go closer and observe empathically. Figure 4 shows how the meta-disciplinary approach works in seven routes if thought.

Using meta-disciplinary approach the object materia of Kybernology, the community with its three subcultures, is discovered. Figure 4 shows that the object materia appears in the third step downward of the approaching. That is why, in the Science Tree (the classification of sciences) of University of Padjadjaran, we find the field of study of Kybernology (Ilmu Pemerintahan) as one of the member of Social Sciences.

INTRODUCTION

Like a building, any body of knowledge (BOK) has three essential dimensions, namely its functions, construction (architecture, design), and building materials.

All the three are subject to differentiation, change and innovation. Let us call the state-of-the art of any condition of the three at a time as paradigm.

The paradigm of Public Administration (PA) for example, has changed several times. The lessons from Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA, ca 1930)  and the experience of the Third World Development Program implementation since the fiftieth of the last century, encouraged the reorientation of the function, the reconstruction of the structure, and the fostering of the PA’s building materials (Fred W. Riggs, ed., Frontiers of Development Administration, 1971). The impact of the TVA was so significant and the PA’s paradigm relevance with the Third World’s development program was highly valued, that created a new BOK, i. e. Development  Administration.

The paradigmatic change of the PA was happened again in the end of the sixtieth, when the United States of America (USA) was in the time of turbulence and the PA in the time of revolution. The BOK of PA was reconstructed and its result was known as the New Public Administration (Frank Marini, ed., Toward a New Public Administration: The Minnowbrook Perspectives, 1971). The reconstruction was made on the basic assumptions that the politics-administration dichotomy has come to an end, and that President should be politician-administrator, in line with Platonic wisdom thousands years ago: the philosopher-king.

Indonesia has had bitter experiences with post independence (1945) turbulences. The first one happened in the mid of the sixtieth, known as the Indonesia Communist Party’s rebellion. In the beginning of the ninetieth, Indonesia also situated in “a time of turbulence” for the second time, culminating in the fall of Soeharto regime (1998). But they have no significant impact on either BOK of Politics, Economics, or Social Sciences related to the turbulence. Of course, there was little cry from the University of Indonesia, shouted out that the Economics has died, and here a short sigh from the University of Gadjah Mada, exclaimed that the Studies of Government now is facing cul-ce-sac, but that’s all.

The natural turbulence struck Indonesia and other Asia countries at the end of  December 2004 is said to be one of the worst in history of mankind, not only the turbulence itself, but even more its impact on human life and natural resources. It invited condolence and global solidarity of many, many nations and NGOs coming for help and relief. In the meantime, New Year edition of the daily newspaper, Kompas, issued an article entitled “Bangsa Yang Hidup Bersama Bahaya,” which means “A Nation Destined to Live with Danger.”      

According to scientific analyses, some of the turbulences, especially social-political ones, resulted from misconduct of the powerful actors responsible for the policy making and policy implementation of the state in all levels of government and administration, while the victims are those who are powerless. On one hand, human conduct depends on the construction of the knowledge instructed and value internalized, and the changes of environment on the other, that build-up the mindset in those in power. If so, what’s wrong with the function, building materials, and construction of the BOK charged into the brain of the men in power through education and training program? Why various external changes have no significant influence on the scientific communities to rise up a scientific movement?

Bestuurskunde (“the art of steering”) introduced by the Dutch Colonial Administration in Indonesia at the beginning of the last century. The origin of Bestuurskunde can be traced back to a little book consists of 32 pages written by the last raadpensionaris of Holland and Westfriesland, Mr L. P. van de Spiegel. The book entitled Schets der Regeerkunde, in betrekking tot hare oogmerk en middelen (Outline of the Regeerkunde, its goal and means). It was published 5 years after the writer’s death. The preface of the book was written in February 1^st 1796. Regeerkunde --- the early concept of Bestuurskunde --- “is de Wetenschap om eene Burgermaatschappij te leiden, ter verkrijging van het grootste Geluk, waar voor dezelve vatbaar is, zonder onwettige benadeeling van andere.” This definition denotes that Bestuurskunde (also “the art of governing”) is the science which lead the human effort to gain the highest Good of life without abusing the right of others. The highest good comprising all things fulfilling the universal human rights then declared by the United Nations on December 10^th, 1949 (see G. A. van Poelje, Bestuurskunde, deel VI “Algemene Inleiding tot de Bestuurskunde,” 1953). The translation of the “Algemene” (Pengantar Umum Ilmu Pemerintahan, July, 1959) made by B. Mang Reng Say defined Regeerkunde as “Ilmu Pengetahuan yang bertujuan untuk memimpin hidupbersama manusia ke arah kebahagiaan yang sebesar-besarnya, tanpa merugikan orang lain secara tidak sah.” The learning institution of Bestuurskunde, upgraded to Bestuurswetenschap and then Bestuurswetenschappen, gained higher academik performance, and offered Doctoral (Ph. D.) degree to the students. Two former PhD graduates were Dr R. E. Berends and Dr F. Breedsvelt (1928 – 1933). 

When the government of Indonesia adopted the Bestuurskunde in university teaching in the mid of the last century, it was placed under the Political Sciences, just as government studies (kajian pemerintahan), lower, applicative level of Politics. In another, methodological words, Ilmu Pemerintahan so to say, has been uprooted from the human side and put it in the power (political) side of the societal phenomena. Since then, the beneficiaries of what so called Ilmu Pemerintahan were those in power, while the powerless people stayed poor and victimized.

The only way to rescue the people from any next turbulence, is to pull the Bestuurskunde back to its proper place at the human side of societal phenomena, restore its function, reconstruct its BOK, and redesign its training methods and technology.(see Figure 1). The replacement is expected to adjust the existing unbalanced frame of reference in either policy making, or policy implementation process, between the government as state service provider on powerful, and the people as state service customers on powerless position. The replacement of Bestuurskunde (Bestuurwetenschap and Bestuurswetenschappen) resulted in a new BOK called Kybernology. Etymologically, the new word comprising two root words. Greek kybernán and -logia. The word Bestuurskunde rooted from the Dutch besturen, English steering, and Greek kybernán. Kybernology (kybernán + o + logy)  is the Greek name of Bestuurskunde, Bestuurswetenschap, and Bestuurswetenschappen, the landmark of the new BOK, a newcomer among the members of the community of sciences. Actually, the reconstruction of the fruit of the landing of Bestuurskunde, Bestuurswetenschap and Bestuurswetenschappen to the Indonesia ground, using the Universal Declaration of Human Rights approach to societal phenomena, resulting in BOK called Kybernology with higher academic degree.                     

As a product of scientific enterprise, so to say, Kybernology was launched by The Institute of Governmental Sciences (Institut Ilmu Pemerintahan) on May 22^nd, 2003 in Jakarta. The Greek word kybernan came into my mind on May 8^th, 2000, inspired by my team teaching Mr Ernan Arno Amsari (UNPAD) in one of his lectures on 1996. The Science Tree of Kybernology, comprising all field of studies involved in the postgraduate study curricula on Kybernology, was born in September 2002. The Hymn Kybernology composed in October 19^th, 2002. The Steering Wheel was adopted as Kybernology’s symbol or logo, on December 17^th, 2002. The Indonesia Community of Kybernology declared in Jakarta on May 26^th, 2004. Kybernology Foundation (Yayasan Kybernologi Indonesia, YKI) was founded on December 23^rd, 2006, and finally the Kybernology Code of Ethics was adopted on December 11^th, 2009, in the occasion of the third birthday celebration of YKI and the First Homecoming Reunion of Kybernology Alumni..

Through learning process of postgraduate programs at IPDN, some other universities, and scientific discussions held by many institutions, Kybernology developed into coherent and complete BOK, ontology, epistemology, and axiology. Since 1996, higher learning institutions having Kybernology as core curriculum offered Master’s and 2000 on offered PhD degree to the public. Padjadjaran University (UNPAD) in Bandung for example had produced approximately 100 PhD holders majoring in Kybernology and more than 600 of Master’s graduation. Islamic University of Riau at Pekanbaru since 2005 opened Master’s Program on Kybernology.

Now, let ‘s see how Bestuurskunde and Bestuurswetenschap theory and practice in Indonesia pull from power sphere back to its social, proper place, as  the science

which leads human effort to gain the highest Good of life without abusing the right

of others. The highest good comprising all things fulfilling the universal human rights

then declared by the United Nations, and reconstructs its BOK. Ten main requirements have been developed to create the scientific qualities of Kybernology.

tulisan  ini semacam "dibuang sayang"

aku buat menjelang ultah papa ke 77 tahun 2012 lalu atas permintaan papa, untuk dimuat dalam bukunya Hadia Nosomi?2. namun saat buku itu terbit dan menjadi suvenir pada perayaan hut 77 papa, ternyata naskah ini terluput.

hari ini 18 oktober 2013, mestinya menjadi peringatan 10 tahun pernikahan papa dengan tante Ris. namun setahun lalu papa pergi dan tidak pernah merayakannya lagi. demi mengingat betapa papa mengapresiasi naskah ini, dan untuk tidak menjadi tulisan yang "terbuang sayang", izinkan aku berbagi di sini...
