Manunggalization

The Indonesian School of World Relations (Mazhab Indonesia) introduces Manunggalization to support the Manunggalian Era. Manunggalization or “Eastern Manunggalization” serves as a proposed alternative to challenge Western Globalization. It is described as a process of “Pemurnian” and “Unifiying” of the world using the Eastern World Institutions (Pranata Dunia) in the 21st century.

Manunggalization is the process of the world is going to purify “manunggalized” (the purification of the historical, civilizational, cultural, traditional, philosophical, ideological, societal, and relational of humankind) by the value of Manunggalism such as adimanusiawi, geometrism, permusyawaratan, kemanunggalan, haryamatra, adibumi, and manupolitika in all level of the world (horizontalized, verticalized, and diagonalized as the rule of harmony distribution in world society) as the value of the Manunggality of the World.

Manunggal World referred to the Era that began in 2000 as the Age of purification (Pemurnian) that spanned 700 years. This term to strengthen the activities of the 21^st century Manunggalization of world challenging Globalization of world.  The 3^rd millennium is the period of development of the Eastern “World Power” History under one paradigm of Manunggalism.

We refer to the above ideas in building the perspective of Manunggalism representing the Eastern world in seeing the world especially to strengthen the Indonesian School or “Mazhab Indonesia”, one of which gave birth to the Theory of Geometripolitics. The Era of Manunggalian is the lapse of time in which the process of purifying Eastern institutions of historical values, civilization, culture, tradition, philosophy, ideology, society, and humanity spanned 700 years, starting from 2000 to 2800, following the line of rotation.”

International Relations (IR) has obscured the Eastern paradigm of “World Relations” (WR). The West tends to focus on Interstates, while the East focuses on Interworld. So, to understand the world as “world-states (materialism)” needs to be distinguished from “world-nations (geometricalism)”. In the Era of Manunggalian (Purification), the world entered a change of leadership from Western to Eastern or from the Atlantical world power to the Manunggal world power.

In the Era of Manunggalian (Purification), the world entered a change of leadership from West to East or from the Atlantical world-states power to the Manunggal world-nations power. These signs can be found in the Western world, namely: the reduction of British loyalty in Europe through Brexit (British Exit) as the forerunner of the breakup of the power of the Atlantic Community; Weakening of NATO due to the clash between France and the United States in NATO military structure; The waning power of the United States in the 21^st Century.

In the Eastern world these signs can be: Increasing mutual cooperation between the core world-nations of the region such as China, Russia, India, Indonesia, Mongolia, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Kazakhstan, as well as the emergence of the ACFTA; Strengthening of the SCO as a military awakening in the East; The emergence of Indonesian power in mainland Asia as the forerunner of 21^st century of Manunggal Peace Enforcement; The strengthening of the role of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (PERBARA) as a regional organization that primarily drives “Eastern World Institutions” to maintain world order under the values ​​Manunggality of the World.

Meanwhile, in general these signs can be in the form of: the emergence of the cyberspace dimension as one of the eight most strategic dimensions of Fifth Basis Security and Power to master, which means that the loss of Mahadata (Bigdata) in cyberspace will cause world threats; the emergence of nuclear weapons as a complement to autonomous weapons and robotic killers; The birth of Eastern philosophers guiding Manunggalistiwa. Signs of this shift likely led to major friction between Eastern and Western in the early 21^st century.

Waiting for proof that there was a Great war of 21^st century, namely the World Geometrian War (Perang Geometri Antarbangsa/PGA). The PGA may be the Great War of the 21^st Century. The PGA differs from previous major wars in terms of the way it is fought, the space of war, and the technology used. This precondition is marked by the strengthening of the turning point of the Western Enlightenment era back to the Dark Ages through globalization as a trigger for world economic clashes, weakening of Western ideology, and decline of Western military dan Political power. The world periodically is performing “World Purification” through Manunggalization accordingly Manunggalistiwa.

Here are the key aspects of Manunggalization:

Manunggalization is the practical application of Manunggalism, a grand theory founded by Adi Rio Arianto and Gesti Anggraini. It aims to shift the world order from Western-driven perspectives (Atlantikal) to an Eastern-focused perspective (Manunggal).

Era of Purification (2000-2700): Manunggalization is associated with the “Manunggalian Era” (Era Pemurnian), which proponents believe began in the year 2000 and spans 700 years, aiming to correct or purify world relations.

“Gotong Royong” as a World Relations System: The foundation of Manunggalization is “Gotong Royong” (communal cooperation) used as a World Relations System (WRS), focusing on interworld connectivity rather than just interstates. Distinction from Globalization: While globalization often implies a standardized, Westernized approach to world markets and culture, Manunggalization focuses on “World-Nations” rather than just “World-States,” promoting a “geometricalism” (or ethical/mystical unity) over pure materialism.

The goal of Manunggalization is to bridge the world towards a “Manunggal World,” emphasizing Eastern worldviews and harmonious existence. This theory is officially presented by the Mazhab Indonesia to describe a new, Eastern-focused paradigm of world relations.
