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

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.

Analysis of Survival Strategies for Illegal Indonesian Workers in Malaysia

The increase in illegal Indonesian workers (TKI) every year is a polemic in itself; the opportunity to become an illegal TKI can be detrimental to the state and individual TKI because they will not get their rights and are vulnerable to problems with inappropriate labor administration. The Indonesian government must immediately resolve this problem to ensure that there are no more illegal Indonesian migrant workers coming to Malaysia. This research uses a qualitative method by collecting data through interviews, observation, and documentation from three sources on the survival of illegal migrant workers working in Malaysia. The analysis uses spatial and narrative analysis. This is a novelty in this research and direct observations in the field by the author. The research results show that the main factors for illegal migrant workers going to Malaysia are the availability of jobs, high wages, and the lure of families working there. The workers chose to be illegal because they did not have a valid visa, did not want to renew their advanced visa or a tourist visa, and switched to becoming workers in Malaysia. As for surviving as an illegal worker, the survival strategy for surviving as an illegal worker is to carry out economic, social, legal, and political survival strategies. This research is important to follow up on because many Indonesian citizens are still interested in working abroad illegally and not complying with established regulations, which can harm various parties.

Ships are robbed or hijacked, raising concerns that such attacks could finance terrorism or result in seized vessels being used as floating bombs to attack essential ports. The Indonesian Government may also have a strategic policy to prevent such illegal carriage by sea. It must have harmonies of the regulations state competing interest in exploiting and regulating maritime activities. This article will seek agencies to implement law, security, and safety at sea and review marine agencies. The agents are expected to avoid law enforcement in the sea, which is currently ineffective, causing competition between authority institutions or interests, all of which are detrimental to implementing the rule of law itself. In Indonesian shipping law, law enforcement of marine law is not only be handled by one department. Some regulations give different authority to any department to force the direction. So, there is no integration system to move the marine law if the law separates the sectoral approach that caused many law problems; one of them is an overlap in authority which tends to be a conflict of interest among them. Law enforcement at sea has particular characteristics and extraordinary scopes under the applicable legal regime in the sea area</em>
