A large body of literature focusing on the Aceh conflict now exists as a result of the intellectual journey to comprehend Aceh separatism since it began in 1976. This essay discusses the evolution of research on the Aceh conflict and argues that research should continue, even though peace has prevailed since 2005. Aside from providing opportunities to obtain new evidence to challenge conventional explanations, conflict research also provides opportunities to acquire knowledge and wisdom from the past to support long-term peacebuilding. Research should be expanded, particularly on agendas that have received little attention but will significantly contribute to preserving collective memory, preventing recurring conflict, and handling conflict trauma.

自 1976 年亚齐分离主义开始以来，由于理解亚齐分离主义的知识之旅，现已存在大量关注亚齐冲突的文献。本文讨论了亚齐冲突研究的演变，并认为研究应该继续下去，即使和平自 2005 年以来，冲突研究一直盛行。除了提供获得新证据来挑战传统解释的机会外，冲突研究还提供了从过去获取知识和智慧的机会，以支持长期建设和平。应扩大研究范围，特别是那些很少受到关注但将极大有助于保存集体记忆、防止冲突再次发生和处理冲突创伤的议程。
