Abstract

As the largest archipelagic state in the world with more than 17,000 islands and a large maritime territory, maritime security is essential for Indonesia’s economy and security. The Indonesian government has set maritime defense as one of the pillars of the Global Maritime Fulcrum vision since 2014, establishing it as one of the maritime governance priorities for the country. Indonesia faces all forms of maritime security threats, from the territorial disputes in the South China Sea, IUU fishing, piracy and armed robbery, maritime terrorism, etc., and has been attempting to improve its maritime governance capacity to address those threats. However, the country still suffers from various maritime security capacity gaps, from the overlapping roles and responsibilities among its various maritime security agencies, its lack of maritime domain awareness capacity, as well as its inadequate assets and equipment for maritime security. This paper addresses the Indonesian government’s attempts to improve its maritime security governance capacity across its various agencies since 2014, focusing on the two main agencies: the Indonesian Navy (TNI-AL) and the Maritime Security Agency (Bakamla). This paper then evaluates those attempts at maritime security capacity building, and finally suggests recommendations that would improve maritime security governance capacity in Indonesia.
