Abstract

The Straits of Malacca and Singapore are among the most strategically important maritime chokepoints in the global trading system. Although conventional threats such as piracy have been managed through regional cooperation, the rapid digitalisation of ports, vessel traffic systems, and naval command infrastructures has created new hybrid cyber-physical vulnerabilities. Despite recurring cyber incidents between 2020 and 2025, no institutionalised real-time cross-border Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) mechanism has emerged among Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. This study examines the puzzle of institutional inertia under growing threat interdependence and its implications for SDG 9, Target 9.1 on resilient infrastructure, and SDG 17, Targets 17.16 and 17.17 on knowledge-sharing and effective public-private partnerships. Drawing on 18 semi-structured interviews and qualitative analysis of policy documents from 2020 to 2025, the study identifies three governance bottlenecks: legal-institutional ambiguity, sovereignty-related political constraints, and technical-operational interoperability gaps. Building on Regional Security Complex Theory and regime complexity scholarship, the article theorises Cooperative Sovereignty as a middle-ground governance modality between supranational integration and sovereignty-maximising bilateralism. It proposes the Malacca Cyber Intelligence Node (MCIN) as a federated, sovereignty-compatible mechanism for structured cyber threat signalling while preserving national control over data. The study contributes to governance scholarship and offers actionable pathways for strengthening maritime cyber resilience in sovereignty-sensitive regions.

Abstract

The development of Bengkulu Naval Airbase is a strategic initiative to enhance Indonesia's maritime defense capabilities, but various barriers have hindered its implementation. This study investigates the obstacles and supporting factors and provides actionable recommendations for its realization. This research uses the Suhirwan Quasy Qualitative methodological procedure comprising 13 distinct steps. In the initial phase, theoretical frameworks are utilized to construct structured interview guidelines for data collection. During the final phase, the same theoretical foundations serve to validate and confirm research findings derived from empirical data. The methodology combines theory and evidence through a two-phase approach: first as a design framework, then as an analytical validation tool. Data was collected through structured interviews and documentary studies from Navy officials, the Governor of Bengkulu, and stakeholders. The analysis uses triangulation to cross-check findings from multiple data sources and perspectives, ensuring rigor and validity. The findings emphasize the importance of leadership commitment, especially from the Bengkulu Governor, and effective coordination with the Ministry of Transportation. The study shows that developing the Bengkulu Naval Airbase is vital not only for maritime defense but also for boosting the local economy and community development. To address implementation challenges, the study recommends formalizing inter-agency coordination, optimizing resource distribution based on performance, and strengthening leadership support through accountability and training, all tailored to the military airbase context and informed by theory and practice. By addressing these factors, the Indonesian Navy can effectively develop the Bengkulu naval airbase, supporting broader national security goals.
