Reading news every day, people should get the sense that the world is in danger. Particularly, when people read the international affair news section, which covers separatism issue almost every day. In the 21st century, world politics appear to far from resolved condition in terms of power sharing among the elites. Around 146 national scale conflicts in 76 countries happened in the last 50 years (Walter, 2006). Papua separatism in Indonesia, Patani insurgents in Thailand and Tibetan issue in China are few of the many separatism issues that are still in presence. People usually see images mass protest, conflicts or even violence whenever they read an article that discusses an act to separate certain regions from their central government. Scholars have also made many attempts to research the cause of separatism. To this date, what causes the insurgent movements are described from differences of ethnicities (Horowitz, 1981), politics (Chai, 2008), and religions (Forsberg, 2005). One might wonder, how can people live in this situation that causes potential riots in the street? Well, researches have described the effect of separatism are economics (Brancati, 2014), politics (Tull, 2011), violence (Amitai, 1992), and social demographic (Kollenz, 2000). Although these findings are surely interesting, the authors still find them as not enough to portrait the society inside. Hence, this study proposes that it would be valuable by understanding more knowledge if we discuss the effect of separatism from the social perspective. The following questions then, which social perspective are we looking for? Seeing that separatism is caused by many things, it would be useful should our research is going towards the tolerance among societies because it is widely known as an essential shared value for assuring the solidity of societies. Hence, our research should be in the direction of answering this question “What is the effect of separatism on people’s tolerance?”.
