Abstract

The South China Sea is known as the second busiest sea lane in the world after the Suez Canal in Egypt, this area also has an abundance of living creatures and has large oil and natural gas reserves. Because of its potential, the area is still a contest for claims between several countries. Currently, it is known that the United States and China are the largest hegemonic countries in the economic field that are fighting for power in the South China Sea region. Some experts even discussed the possibility of competition that will end with war or military conflict in the 21st century. As a result of this tension, other countries in Southeast Asia which are generally not superpowers have put themselves in a situation that is called a security dilemma. Indonesia is not a claimant country in the South China Sea area but has sovereignty near the area which is Natuna Island. If there is a conflict between the United State and China in the South China Sea area, it will have direct implications for the sovereignty of the Indonesian state in Natuna. To deal with this scenario, Indonesia must prepare its defense forces. In this security dilemma situation, Indonesia is strengthening its military and making alliances with other countries that also do not want conflict or war, Indonesia also trying to balance its power with China and the United States with the balance of power strategy. The aim of this article is to describe whether the balance of power strategy that has been carried out by Indonesia is successful as a deterrence strategy.

Abstract

This research examines the impact of the Houthi rebellion on maritime security in the Red Sea, a critical corridor for global trade. The background of the research highlights the importance of the Red Sea as a vital trade route between Asia, Europe and Africa, and the security challenges posed by the activities of the Houthi rebels, who often target commercial vessels and maritime infrastructure. The purpose of this research is to analyze how Houthi activities affect maritime security and regional and global geopolitical dynamics, and to recommend response mechanisms that can strengthen stability and security in the Red Sea. The research methodology uses a qualitative approach with a case study, where data was collected through literature review and analyzed using content analysis to identify themes, patterns, and relationships in the data. The findings show that Houthi activities have disrupted trade routes, increased the risk of military confrontation, and affected regional and global stability. The study's conclusions underscore the importance of a more coordinated and multilateral approach to addressing the challenges posed by the Houthis, including increased maritime patrols, active diplomacy, and local capacity building. Strategic recommendations include joint patrols, inclusive political dialogue, and the development of strong international legal tools to protect shipping lanes and reduce security incidents.
