标题：Significance Of Leader Idiosyncratic Factors As Negotiates In Conflict Resolution Process – A Case Study Of Jusuf Kalla On The Peace Agreement In Aceh
摘要：This paper analyzes the idiosyncratic role of a leader as a negotiator in a conflict resolution process. The conflict studied was between the Indonesian government and the Free Aceh Movement (GAM). The research uses qualitative methods by prioritizing story-telling techniques from informants. The Aceh conflict involving the Indonesian government and the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) has been ongoing since 1976 and ended in 2005 with the signing of the Helsinki Agreement mediated by Martti Ahtisaari, former President of Finland. He heads the non-profit Crisis Management Initiative. The Indonesian government had attempted to resolve the conflict before Jusuf Kalla led the peace negotiation team from the Indonesian side. However, a different approach from the previous leader was deadlocked. The results show that Jusuf Kalla's success as a negotiator in resolving this conflict is influenced by the idiosyncratic factor of Jusuf Kalla, who is a multi-talented person, namely politicians, traders and born from Bugis ethnicity, which makes it easier for him to have good diplomacy with political leaders and warlords from the Free Aceh Movement as well as with a peace mediator, namely the Crisis Management Initiative.
