    Hafids Nursatria, 2013, Kekuatan Macan Tamil Pasca Kekalahannya Melawan Tentara Sri Lanka Pada Mei 2009 1 Kekuatan Macan Tamil Pasca Kekalahannya Melawan Tentara Sri Lanka Pada Mei 2009 (The Strength Of Tamil Eelam After Its Defeat Against Sri Lanka Army In May 2009) Hafids Nursatria, Dr. Puji Wahono, M.Si, Drs. Supriyadi, M.Si Ilmu Hubungan Internasional, FISIP, Universitas Jember (UNEJ) Jln. Kalimantan 37, Jember 68121 E-mail: DPU @unej.ac.id Abstrak Konflik antara Sri Lanka dan Macan Tamil merupakan salah satu konflik terlama sepanjang sejarah yang dimulai pada tahun 1983 dan baru berakhir pada tahun 2009 yang ditandai dengan hancurnya kekuatan Macan Tamil dan terbunuhnya pemimpinnya, Velupillai Prabhakaran. Sri Lanka dengan itu mengumumkan kemenangannya melawan kelompok separatis Tamil. Namun, Macan Tamil menebar ancaman bahwa ini bukanlah akhir dari perjuangan mereka. Hal inilah yang membuat penulis merasa perlu mempelajari apakah konflik di Sri Lanka dapat kembali terjadi dengan mempelajari kekuatan organisasi Macan Tamil pasca kekalahannya oleh tentara Sri Lanka. Metode analisa data yang digunakan dalam penulisan karya ilmiah ini adalah metode analisa deskriptif-kualitatif. Penulis menggunakan cara berfikir deduktif untuk menganalisa data. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana kekuatan Macan Tamil pasca kekalahannya oleh tentara Sri Lanka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Macan Tamil tidak lagi memiliki kekuatan untuk melakukan pemberontakan karena tangible power dan intangible power mereka sudah jauh berkurang sehingga Macan Tamil sebagai organisasi sudah melemah. Kata Kunci: konflik, Macan Tamil, Sri Lanka. Abstract The conflict between Sri Lanka and Tamil Tigers is one of the longest in the history of the conflict that began in 1983 and ended in 2009 were marked by destructive forces and the killing of Tamil Tiger leader, Velupillai Prabhakaran.
