Kebijakan Pemerintah Dalam Mewujudkan Strategi Coastal Defense dengan pendekatan Anti-Access Area Denial (A2/AD) Sebagai Pertahanan Di Kawasan Indonesia

This study examines Indonesia’s coastal defense policy using an Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) strategy to protect its coastal regions. The A2/AD approach is adapted to the geographical characteristics of Indonesia as an archipelagic state, involving maritime radar surveillance, strengthening coastal patrol fleets, and developing access denial tactics in strategic areas like the Malacca Strait and the North Natuna Sea. Key threats, such as foreign vessel infiltration and illegal activities, drive the adoption of this strategy. A qualitative method is employed, analyzing policy documents, including the Indonesian Navy’s Strategic Plan, interviews with relevant officials, and case studies of the Nusantara Maritime Surveillance System (SPILN). The analysis reveals progress in infrastructure development, such as coastal base construction and defense equipment modernization. However, challenges remain, particularly in inter-agency coordination involving the Navy, Maritime Security Agency (Bakamla), and the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, as well as limited resource allocation. The Fast Patrol Boat program exemplifies these issues, with operational constraints due to inadequate integration with national surveillance systems. Recommendations include enhancing policy synergy through a unified command center, optimizing maritime defense budgets, and improving tactical training for coastal units. These findings aim to guide policymakers in formulating a more effective coastal defense strategy to safeguard Indonesia’s maritime sovereignty and security.

Korbrimob’s main strength lies in its personnel capabilities and cross-sectoral cooperation, but weaknesses in authority and resources hinder the necessary capacity improvements. This research recommends increasing Korbrimob’s authority in handling CBRN, developing specialized equipment, and enhancing joint training frequency with TNI and other relevant agencies to improve readiness in facing CBRN-based terrorism threats.

Maritime security and the inter-agency challenge: The case of Ghana

ABSTRACT Maritime security is a major international concern with the Gulf of Guinea recognised as one of the global hotspots of blue crime, such as piracy, kidnap for ransom, trafficking of narcotics, human and arms, and illegal fishing. The complex and complicated challenge of maritime security, a wicked problem, calls for inter-agency coordination, synergy of efforts and scaling up of responses. Given the complexity of maritime security threats, no single organisation has the institutional muscle to single-handedly deal with it. Drawing on evidence from Ghana, where the arrival of maritime security as a concept triggered a shift from single to a multi-agency approach to dealing with maritime issues, the article examines the potential of and challenges associated with inter-agency coordination. In line with recent international developments, African nations like Ghana aim to apply the concept of inter-agency coordination to tackle maritime insecurity in its waters. The paper assesses how inter-agency coordination could be used in an African maritime security governance context, while examining power imbalance, strife for agency autonomy and other obstacles that have to be addressed to ensure that the promises associated with the concept are fulfilled.

Missed Opportunities for Intervening Early in Preschoolers with Developmental Concern: Perspectives From Head Start Parents, Teachers, and Healthcare Providers.

The purpose of this study was to discover the care meanings of facilitators and barriers to detection and intervention for developmental delay among Head Start preschool-aged children, as viewed by parents, teachers, and primary care providers. We used a qualitative focus group design and broad cultural lens to understand similarities and differences in family and professional care, as Head Start programs educate preschoolers living in poverty who are disproportionately from ethno-racial minoritized groups. We sought the perspectives of 15 Head Start parents equally representing Black, Latino(a), and White parents, 17 teachers, and 11 healthcare providers to discover facilitators and barriers to adherence with professional recommendations. We found that silos in professional communications, parent distrust, knowledge deficits, and stigma were barriers to obtaining developmental recommendations. Participants also identified missed opportunities to facilitate interagency coordination, parental advocacy of a child's developmental needs, and professional alliances to take collaborative actions for early identification and treatment. Furthermore, a subculture of poverty adversely influenced adherence to developmental recommendations, and ethno-racial biases affected Black and Latino(a) families' follow-through. Our findings highlight how the lack of coordination between sectors resulted in the dismissal of parental concerns or denial of services by 1 system or the other, thus, at the very least reducing the child's chances for earlier intervention and treatment. We also identified potential benefits to children when the barriers of poverty and ethnoracial bias are addressed by professionals with coordinated actions, and new systems are developed for sharing developmental screening results and partnering to coordinate care across the preschool and primary healthcare settings.
