Abstract

Since 2016, there has been a significant increase in the incidence of terrorist attacks in several ASEAN Member States (AMS). In response, Indonesia initiated the formation of an intelligence information exchange cooperation namely Our Eyes Initiative (OEI) to several AMS and communicated that the transnational terrorist network is a common threat. Some are optimistic, this cooperation will result an effective regional integration, while others are sceptical that the condition of the region is still tinged with economic, defence competition and super power states dominance such as China and America so that it affects the cooperation. This study aims to analyze how transnational terrorism encourages AMS to use the transnational communication mechanism from Holzinger and Knill in the OEI cooperation. This research is a part of International Relations studies so that researchers make the traditional realist/neorealist paradigm as a basis in explaining regional conditions. The study use qualitative explanative method. Data collection were obtained through secondary sources and analyzed by means of data comparison, verification and conclusion drawing. So far, the cross-national convergence study has come to the finding that convergence among countries is present due to the influence of regional institution so as to create policy product adopted by each state. However, the authors argue that in the OEI case study is primarily influenced by a common threat so that the state responds and creates a transnational communication mechanism.

Abstract

The government's policy objectives for countering terrorism in the DKI Jakarta Province have not been effective. This is marked by the lack of a sense of security for some people in dealing with acts of terrorism carried out by government officials. Based on this phenomenon, the research problem is formulated, namely why the government has not met expectations in implementing counter-terrorism policies, to know what factors determine the effectiveness of the policy. The method used is MICMAC analysis. The data in this study were obtained from literature studies from related documents, journals, and other scientific articles. The variables in this study refer to 5 indicators of policy effectiveness indicators, broken down into eight variables: organization, environment, workers, management policies and practices, and technology in training education and training centers. Overall, the results of the study indicate that the implementation of counter-terrorism in the DKI Jakarta Province has not been effective. This can be seen from the regulation and control of the TNI (Indonesian Armed Forces) and Polri (Indonesian Police) apparatus as pressure organizations that have not been maximized. The lack of achievement of these goals is related to several factors, including internal factors (factors originating from within the organization) and external factors (factors originating from outside the organization). However, the government's efforts to prevent acts of terrorism continue as carried out by the TNI and Polri officers through training and training camps with community support.
