Abstract

The issue of border security had drawn much attention for being an important part of a
country’s national security and sovereignty, in addition to its dynamic and complex nature.
Indonesia as an archipelagic country faces many problems and challenges in its maritime
border areas, in addition to the problems of unresolved state borders with its neighboring
countries. Indonesia also faces various trans-boundary crime actions near the maritime border
areas. This study aimed at developing a conceptual framework of maritime border security
and explaining the challenges of maritime border security. This study applied the qualitative
approach by focusing on secondary data. The secondary data were obtained by means of
analyses of documents, books, journals, magazines, bulletins and newspaper, including
internet sources that were relevant with this study. The findings of this study show that
Indonesia faced dynamic and complex problems of maritime border security, not only the
problems of unsettled borders with several neighboring countries, but also many trans�boundary criminal activities in its maritime border areas. The problems of overlapping
regulations and institutions added up to the problems to cope with the problems of maritime
border security. This study recommends that the government of Indonesia needs to intensify
the border diplomacy regarding the maritime borders with the neighboring countries in order
to reach delimitation agreements of its maritime border. Further, the government of Indonesia
should do immediate reorganization of regulations and institutions of maritime border
security to handle all forms of trans-boundary crimes.
