Abstract

The threat of Nusantara Balkanization, defined as national disintegration driven by horizontal conflicts, digital propaganda, and foreign interference, poses a real challenge to the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. This study analyzed the role of constitutional law in integrating the Total People^s Defense and Security System (Sishankamrata) with state intelligence functions as a preventive instrument. A normative juridical method with a qualitative descriptive approach was used, reinforced by PESTEL and SWOT analyses. Data from the World Justice Project (WJP) 2025 showed Indonesia ranked 69th out of 143 countries with a score of 0.52, Criminal Justice at 0.38, and Fundamental Rights at 0.47. The controversial statement by the Minister of Defense regarding the potential ^collapse of Indonesia by 2030^ served as a stress test. PESTEL analysis identified technological (disinformation) and social (polarization) factors as the highest risks (5/5). SWOT analysis recommended a Weaknesses-Threats strategy: regulatory harmonization, strengthening coordination, and youth empowerment through digital civic defense. The study concluded that without coherent normative integration and strong democratic oversight, prevention of Nusantara Balkanization remains fragile.
