KERJA SAMA BILATERAL INDONESIA-MALAYSIA DALAM PENGAMANAN PERBATASAN MELALUI PATROLI TERKOORDINASI DI KALIMANTAN BARAT TAHUN 2023-2024
Abstract
This study examines the bilateral cooperation between Indonesia and Malaysia in securing the land border in West Kalimantan through coordinated patrols between the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and the Malaysian Army (TDM) during 2023–2024. As a strategic area vulnerable to non-traditional threats such as smuggling, human trafficking, and illegal border crossings, border management requires a collaborative cross-border approach. Based on the researcher’s direct experience in the Border Security Task Force (Satgas Pamtas), this study analyzes the dynamics of patrol implementation, its effectiveness in maintaining stability, and the operational challenges encountered. Using theoretical frameworks of international cooperation, non-traditional security, and border security, the findings show that coordinated patrols enhance strategic trust, reduce border violations, and strengthen defense diplomacy between the two countries. However, effectiveness is still influenced by technical factors such as differences in SOPs, limited infrastructure, and lack of technological integration and community involvement. This study recommends strengthening institutional coordination, utilizing surveillance technology, and adopting community-based approaches to improve the effectiveness of border security cooperation in the future.
