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

This chapter assesses maritime security under the 1982 UN Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC). It discusses critical issues in contemporary maritime security, highlighting ongoing boundary disputes, transnational crime, and intelligence gathering. It considers the question of what the future may hold for maritime security. It suggests that maritime security will likely remain of fundamental concern and continue to influence legal developments, but perhaps only to the extent that national interests can be asserted and accepted as shared interests.

Multinational military operations have extended to the sea. These operations mirror the changing maritime security landscape wherein transnational crime has become one of the most prominent security threats. With this, the traditional war-related role of navies has slowly but steadily been supplanted by a new function: policing the sea. This new role is more often than not carried out by navies working together, either as naval coalitions or as highly integrated naval forces of regional organizations. This chapter describes the ‘legal pluriverse’ in which such multinational military operations at sea take place. It first asserts that such operations are not ‘warfare lite’, but rather determined by peace time law. It then proceeds to take stock of the rules authorizing multinational forces and contributing states to enforce the law at sea. In a last step, the legal bases imposing strictures on the exercise of these enforcement powers are carved out. The chapter concludes that the legal framework governing enforcement jurisdiction at sea is arguably the epitome of a ‘legal pluriverse’, yet the powers are more clearly defined than the strictures attaching to their exercise.

The article discusses the Indonesian Waters Act (No. 17 of 1985) and its use in the context of criminal acts in the Malacca Strait. According to Indonesia’s Maritime Security Agency, more than 9,000 vessels passed through the Malacca Strait during March 2016. This level of traffic is often a magnet for those intending to engage in crimes. The article concludes that, having ratified the UNCLOS Convention in 1982, it is essential to create a specific body with authority over the Indonesian Malacca Strait and to renew the laws on the continental borderline at Malacca Strait with the other littoral States in the interests of crime prevention.

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.
