Sejalan dengan posisi geografis Asia Tenggara yang strategis untuk rute perdagangan, Asia Tenggara dijadikan sebagai target operasi pembajakan. Selat Malaka adalah tempat pembajakan paling berbahaya di Asia Tenggara. Terdapat sejumlah tragedi pembajakan yang terjadi setiap tahun, karena selat ini merupakan wilayah sepertiga aktivitas perdagangan dunia dilakukan dan dilalui oleh ribuan kapal setiap tahunnya. Makalah ini ingin menjawab bagaimana kerjasama keamanan maritim ASEAN memerangi pembajakan di Selat Malaka dengan melibatkan proses sosialisasi dan persuasi. Makalah ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi kerjasama keamanan maritim ASEAN dalam memerangi pembajakan di Selat Malaka, serta membahas proses lengkap terkait interaksi, mekanisme dan kerangka kerja. Makalah ini juga akan membahas tentang peluang aktor luar di ASEAN, dalam menjalankan kepentingan mereka dalam kerjasama keamanan maritim ASEAN. Makalah ini menggunakan teori sosialisasi dan persuasi yang diprakarsai oleh Johnston Checkel, atau dengan kata lain teori mikro dari teori konstruktivisme untuk menghubungkan kerjasama keamanan maritim ASEAN di Selat Malaka dan prosesnya dalam memerangi pembajakan.

Abstract On 19 June 2017, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines launched the Sulu-Sulawesi Seas Patrol (SSSP), a framework of maritime security cooperation aimed at protecting the Sulu Sea and Sulawesi (Celebes) Sea from maritime crimes. The three nations had announced that their cooperation might be modelled on the Malacca Straits Patrol (MSP), a similar form of cooperation between Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand to safeguard the Straits of Malacca and Singapore. This article primarily compares both cooperative frameworks, and argues that the SSSP should be modelled on the MSP, subject to certain conditions. Where there are insufficient best practices in the MSP, this article contrasts the SSSP with other similar cooperative frameworks, including the Combined Maritime Forces and the ECOWAS Integrated Maritime Strategy. In addition, this article also discusses the relationship between the SSSP and MSP on one hand, and the ASEAN maritime security mechanisms on the other hand.

The Common

The importance of the sea in the current era of globalization has called all countries for managing their interests at sea as well as their common concern collectively, cooperatively and inclusively. By looking at the notions of the sea as a medium of connectivity and sea as a resource coupled with its vulnerability particularly in Indian and Pacific Oceans, Indo-Pacific maritime cooperation towards global ocean governance accordingly are vital to the international stability, a successful of sea-based trading system and sustainability use of the oceans. Therefore this article discusses the rationale of Indo-Pacific Maritime Cooperation, which made possible by the common concern of countries that locate between the Indian and West Pacific ocean maritime, the vulnerabilities of the region and the existence of various ASEAN’s mechanisms on Maritime Security Cooperation as well as regional regime and international law. Nevertheless, ASEAN needs to note some issues relating to its consolidation as well as the internal challenges in the realization of global maritime governance.

In October, China and the ASEAN states held their first ever joint naval exercise. Impacts The verbal statements on regional maritime security cooperation will increasingly be followed by concrete actions. Negotiations over a Code of Conduct for the South China Sea will advance slowly and contentiously. China-Philippines joint energy explorations in the South China Sea will remain hamstrung by Philippine constitutional conditions.

<p>In the 21st century, the Indo-Pacific security situation has undergone rapid changes, mainly due to China's maritime expansion and the weakening of US influence in the region. Responding to this situation, India and Japan, as regional powers, decided to work together. Following a speech by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in 2007, India and Japan met about maritime security. Following Abe's re-election as Prime Minister in 2012, Japan expanded it's security scope and began seeing India as an important security partner. At the same time, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Act East' policy pushed India to take a more proactive role in the eastern region, including Japan. India and Japan then aligned their strategic policies to strengthen maritime cooperation. This article explains the implementation of Indian-Japanese maritime cooperation in balancing China in the Indo-Pacific.</p><p><strong>Bahasa Abstrak:</strong> Di abad ke-21, keadaan keamanan Indo-Pasifik mengalami perubahan yang pesat, terutama dikarenakan oleh ekspansi maritim China dan melemahnya pengaruh Amerika Serikat di kawasan. Meresponi situasi ini, India dan Jepang sebagai kekuatan kawasan memutuskan untuk bekerja sama. Berdasarkan pidato Perdana Menteri Shinzo Abe pada 2007, India dan Jepang memiliki titik temu di bidang keamanan maritim. Mengikuti kembali berkuasanya Perdana Menteri Shinzo Abe pada 2012, Jepang telah memperluas lingkup keamannya di mana Jepang memandang pentingnya India sebagai mitra keamanan. Sementara itu, kebijakan ‘Act East’ Perdana Menteri Narendra Modi telah mendorong India untuk mengambil peran yang lebih proaktif ke kawasan bagian timur, termasuk Jepang. India dan Jepang kemudian menyelaraskan kebijakan strategis mereka untuk memperkuat kerja sama maritim. Artikel ini menjelaskan implementasi kerja sama maritim India-Jepang dalam menyeimbangkan China di Indo-Pasifik.</p>

Abstract This article describes the form and performance of the Malacca Straits Patrol (MSP) cooperation as a maritime security regime in dealing with maritime piracy in the Straits of Malacca in the year 2008-2020. It is explored and analyzed using a theoretical approach of maritime security regimes, with the concept of maritime piracy, and the concept of maritime security. The research method used is qualitative based on case study and descriptive analysis. Sources of data were obtained from interviews and documentation with validated through triangulation of data sources and negative case analysis. The results of the study found the maritime piracy in the Straits of Malacca led to the development of dynamic threat perspective between littoral states and non-littoral user states depending on the priority of each states maritime interests to the strategic value of the Malacca Strait. This prompted the establishment of the Malacca Straits Patrol (MSP) cooperation as a form of maritime security regime with a cooperative security mechanism that has principles, norms, rules, and decision-making procedures aimed at dealing with maritime piracy of Malacca Strait through four programs: (1) Malacca Straits Sea Patrol (MSSP); (2) Eyes in the Sky Combined Maritime Air Patrols (EiS-CMAP); (3) Malacca Straits Patrol Intelligence Exchange Group (MSP-IEG); and (4) the Malacca Straits Patrol Joint Coordination Committee (MSP-JCC). It has a low level of effectiveness performance as the output product of the regime make outcome changes in the collective behavior of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand that optimum comply with a few rules of the game in the implementation of the MSSP, EiS CMAP, MSP-IEG, and MSP-JCC programs, because hampered by lack of capability and mutual mistrust. The results of these performances made the operationalization of the MSP regime to minimum, resulting in the unresolved problem of maritime piracy of the Malacca Strait according to the objectives MSP regime. Recommends for extending MSP to Strait of Singapore; increased capability of MSSP and EiS-CMAP; review the transparency information exchange of MSP-IEG; and increasing awareness and financial support, equipment, and training from interested non-littoral actors to littoral actors to make MSP more effective in dealing with piracy in the Straits of Malacca.   Keywords : Straits of Malacca; Maritime Piracy; Maritime Security; Malacca Straits Patrol; Maritime Security Regime

Rory Medcalf is Australia’s most prominent commentator on the Indo-Pacific region, and has played an important role in popularizing the concept throughout the region. In this chapter, he explores the forces that are leading to a greater Chinese naval presence in the Indian Ocean and India’s options in responding to that presence. Medcalf argues that for India, and for other resident powers of the Indian Ocean, the accelerated arrival of China as a security player should be cause neither for panic nor complacency. There is still scope to ensure that China in the Indian Ocean becomes neither destabilizingly defensive nor dangerously dominant. In particular, India needs to take the initiative in building maritime security cooperation with a range of capable Indian Ocean-going powers that are well-disposed to its rise in order to create a stable strategic environment in which China will play an important role.
