Security is a key dimension of any Indonesian borderland development program. Apart from security, the Indonesian military must attend to sociopolitical requirements. The area of Belu Regency borderland is a case in point where many East Timorese refugees or “new citizens” have been settled. Sociopolitical tasks of the military are to assist the local government in overcoming any problems of the refugees. This article demonstrates a connection between the security dimension and social exclusion in the border area of Belu. The question of this study is how the security issue is related to social exclusion and how it takes place. The qualitative method is deployed to collect data, through indepth interview with government and military institution informants, as well as at community levels, together with secondary data. The result of the study shows that the local government has used the Indonesian military to limit the movement and choices of these refugees, and to intimidate them. Therefore, the role of the institution contributes to initial stages of social exclusion, such as limiting the movement of the new citizens and the locals in terms of land and housing access, through intimidation, and limiting any signs of political aspirations.

印度尼西亚贝卢丽晶边境的安全范围和社会排斥的形成

安全是任何印度尼西亚边境开发计划的关键方面。除了安全以外，印尼军队还必须遵守社会政治要求。贝卢摄政边境地区就是许多东帝汶难民或“新公民”已经定居的例子。军队的社会政治任务是协助当地政府解决难民的任何问题。本文展示了贝卢边境地区的安全维度与社会排斥之间的联系。这项研究的问题是安全问题与社会排斥如何发生以及如何发生。通过与政府和军事机构的信息提供者以及社区级别的深入访谈，定性方法被用于收集数据以及辅助数据。研究结果表明，当地政府利用印尼军队限制了这些难民的行动和选择，并对其进行了恐吓。因此，该机构的作用有助于社会排斥的初期阶段，例如通过恐吓限制新公民和当地人在土地和住房获得方面的流动，并限制任何政治愿望。
