Abstract

Indonesian state policies affect the integration and the position of ethnic Chinese identity, one of the ethnic groups in Indonesia. This paper illustrates the factual basis of the perspective of the leaders of ethnic Chinese in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia, towards integration in the process of forming national identity in fostering civic culture of post-reformation in the city of Medan. The research data was obtained through observation, interviews and documentation. Interviews were conducted by purposive, and documentation studies conducted on the sources of primary data and secondary data. Perspective of the ethnic Chinese characters in his reconceptualization of the integration is leading to the selection of "integrated-pluralism", which is seen as a more appropriate policy in the post-reform building integration in the city of Medan. The synergy of ideas, demands and expectations of ethnic Chinese leaders produce a formulation of a national identity that is more fitting for Indonesia in the era of globalization, namely hybrid identity - "Indonesia, which continues to be". This formulation illustrates a fluid and dynamic identity that leads to the identity of a non-racial nationalism, not rigid and static to changes, developments and needs of the times. Integrated-pluralism and identity of the proposed hybrid ethnic Chinese leaders contributed conducively to the growth of civic culture in the post-reform Medan city, especially in growing participant political culture.
