Abstract

Tantangan nasional Indonesia dalam bidang ekonomi, kebudayaan, dan tata kelola sosial menempatkan negara ini dalam keterhubungan yang semakin intensif dengan sistem internasional. Dalam perspektif hubungan internasional kontemporer, interaksi lintas negara tidak hanya melibatkan distribusi kepentingan material, tetapi juga proses konstruksi norma, identitas, dan makna sosial. Artikel ini menganalisis peran Organisasi Berbasis Iman melalui studi kasus Compassion International dan pengaruhnya terhadap sektor pendidikan di Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan konstruktivisme, penelitian ini memandang Compassion sebagai aktor non-negara transnasional yang berperan dalam difusi norma dan pembentukan identitas kolektif melalui jaringan globalnya. Melalui program pendidikan berbasis komunitas, lembaga ini tidak hanya menyalurkan sumber daya material, tetapi juga mentransmisikan nilai-nilai tentang kepedulian anak, pemberdayaan, dan tanggung jawab sosial yang beroperasi dalam ruang masyarakat sipil global. Interaksi antara identitas religius lembaga, struktur pembangunan internasional, dan regulasi domestik menunjukkan adanya proses socialization dan internalisasi norma dalam praktik pendidikan di tingkat lokal. Perspektif teologis dari Injil Matius 5:14-16 tentang identitas “garam dan terang dunia” digunakan sebagai kerangka normatif untuk memahami konstruksi identitas moral lembaga dalam ruang publik internasional. Dengan demikian, studi ini menegaskan bahwa Organisasi Berbasis Iman merupakan bagian dari dinamika hubungan internasional yang berkontribusi dalam pembentukan tatanan normatif global melalui praktik pendidikan lintas negara.
