Collaborative Governance in Government Administration in the Field of State Security Along the Republic of Indonesia (RI)-Malaysia Border Area

Abstract

In recent decades, new forms of government have emerged to replace managerial models in policy making and execution. According to (Chris Ansell & Alison Gash, 2007), collaborative governance is a concept used by the government to regulate the involvement of nongovernmental parties in formal, consensus-oriented, and deliberative collective decision-making processes that aim to create and implement public policies and manage public programs or assets. This study aims to analyze and describe the collaborative government carried out in the Implementation of the State Mission in the Field of State Border Security between the Republic of Indonesia and Malaysia in North Kalimantan Province. The results show that the collaboration carried out to combat crime in the RI-Malaysia border area has not been optimal. This is based on the high crime rate that occurred in 2018 in the North Kalimantan Province area, which is directly adjacent to Malaysia in the form of illegal logging (as much as 200,000 m³). Foreign fishermen who abet illegal fishing amounted to 474 vessels, the arrest of illegal Indonesian migrant workers captured in Malaysia in 2018 was 6,135 people, and the number of drug smuggling cases increased due to 890 incidents in the border area of Malaysia in North Kalimantan Province. Therefore, to overcome these problems, powerful collaboration among government institutions, the private sector, and the community is needed to support effective communication and coordination to create a conducive atmosphere, crime eradication, and rules of order between the RI-Malaysia border area in North Kalimantan Province.
