Abstract

The border area of a country is a manifestation of its sovereignty. Security in border areas becomes a challenge for every country because the border area is generally a space for the development of asymmetric warfare threats, especially in its position as the National Capital. East Kalimantan is a manifestation of Indonesia's border area that has the potential to face complex asymmetric warfare threats. This research is a qualitative study aimed at analyzing the forms of asymmetric warfare threats to East Kalimantan as a border area and the National Capital. Based on the research, it is concluded that East Kalimantan is a strategic border area with complex security risks. This area is characterized by actual and potential asymmetric warfare threats ranging from local to transnational scales, such as local conflicts, transnational crimes, and terrorist threats. Threats to East Kalimantan at least have an impact on national security, both directly and indirectly. Therefore, the threats in East Kalimantan need to be a shared concern, given that security gaps in border areas are vulnerable to being exploited by asymmetric actors to present threats.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the escalation of conflict in Myanmar after the military coup in 2021 with a research focus on understanding the dynamics of conflict during military junta rule and its impact on domestic and regional situations. This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, relying on secondary data sources, namely literature studies from various sources. The results show that the coup carried out by the military junta has overthrown the legitimate government. Instead of creating stability, this attitude triggered massive rejection by the people of Myanmar. This condition was responded aggressively by the junta, thus increasing tension and violence in various regions. ASEAN has attempted to mediate the conflict through the Five-Point Consensus, but it did not produce significant results because the military junta did not show commitment in implementing the agreement. Opposition groups such as the National Unity Government (NUG) and People's Defense Force (PDF) that were previously not major actors in the armed conflict are now increasingly active against the junta, joining forces with armed ethnic groups to overthrow the military government. This resistance has weakened the junta's control over Myanmar, indicating the potential for a greater transition of power in the future.
