| Summary: | This study has found that transnational Islamist strengthening
its position through various combined process of legitimation
resulting complex legitimacy. The legitimacy has connection
with the limits of nation-state and deteriorated by
consequences of globalization those cause nation-state�s fail
and crisis. The complexity laid in its characters which
simultaneously both justifying and justified by imagination of
one umma as transnational Islamist�s proper collective
community that should unified in one institution, namely
khilafah. It could be contrasted with imagination of nation as
collective community in nation-state.
It has become truism to remark, transnationalism as a
tendency of globalization have brought a new wave of Islam
from outside Indonesia, that is transnational Islamist.
Following the fall of Orde Baru regime, the Islamist has been
growing significantly, this is very typical compared to its
previous characters. As it commonly hypothesized, several
aspects of globalization gave enormous tendency to the
decline of nation-state, this seems become the very basis of
legitimacy, not only for cosmopolitanism but also
transnational Islamist as counter-cosmopolitan, since both of
xiii
them are promoting institutions those characteristically
beyond borders of nation-state.
This thesis evaluates critiques of the nation-state�s
limits, mainly cosmopolitanism through addresses legitimacy
of transnational Islamist in their struggle for khilafah in the
context of globalization. I prefer qualitative research methods
in order to present elaboration of data based on the sociopolitical
context and to avoid simplification of socio-political
discourse. Meanwhile, I prefer discourse analysis in the data
analysis, through focusing on aspects of legitimation and
legitimacy in the contestation of transnational Islamist versus
nation-state.
