Abstract

Security studies debated the phenomenon of "high politics," such as politics and the military, at the outset of their development. As the study's object, it discusses the arms race, nuclear war, and political coups. Following the end of the Cold War, the economic, social, and environmental sectors became subjects of study in security studies. Not only that, but security studies also address issues that are frequently overlooked, such as energy issues. This is undeniably one of the most pressing issues in security studies today. The energy issue discusses how the country's foreign policy efforts will be carried out in order to avoid the threat of domestic energy scarcity. The inclusion of energy issues in security studies does not happen overnight. Through this scientific article, the author intends to examine how energy issues can become part of security issues. The author employs the concept of securitization to examine the securitization of energy issues from the standpoint of a security study. The author used a qualitative method in this study, with secondary data collection (journals and archive documents) as part of the data collection technique. The discussion of this scientific article has resulted in the securitization of energy issues being divided into three stages. Non-securitization, politicization, and securitization are the stages. Energy issues are not considered security issues during the non-securitization stage. When the energy issue becomes politicized, it poses a real threat that the government must address. Meanwhile, security issues have defined threats in the securitization stage. However, this securitization process will only take place if the audience accepts the threat and the state takes responsibility for mitigation efforts. The author comes to the conclusion that the securitization of energy issues is mutual between the state and the audience (society).

Abstract

This study critically examines the potential for South-South Cooperation (SSC) between Indonesia and Timor-Leste in the development of renewable energy in the border region. Although SSC is normatively described as a form of horizontal, solidarity-based cooperation among developing countries, this article argues that disparities in institutional capacity and developmental positions can hinder the realization of truly mutually beneficial partnerships within the Global South. Drawing on the key modes and principles of SSC—including horizontality, demand-driven cooperation, mutual benefits, cultural affinity, and knowledge transfer—this study analyzes how renewable energy cooperation is envisioned and structured from Indonesia’s perspective. Using a qualitative approach, this research relies on in-depth interviews with government agencies, think tanks, and local non-governmental organizations (NGOs), supplemented by policy documents and secondary literature. Findings indicate that border regions hold significant potential for renewable energy cooperation, particularly in the development of wind and hydro power. However, a centralized governance structure, uneven institutional capacity, and limited political commitment hinder the emergence of fully horizontal cooperation. This article argues that while SSC offers an alternative framework to North-South development relations, the potential cooperation between Indonesia and Timor-Leste also reveals the possibility of asymmetrical relations within the Global South itself. This study contributes to critical debates on SSC, postcolonial development, and energy transition in border regions.
