<![CDATA[As an archipelagic country that has borders with ten countries, Indonesia faces complex challenges, such as illegal fishing, human trafficking, and unequal development in border areas. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature review by analyzing national regulations, bilateral and multilateral practices, and international experiences. A comprehensive strategic analysis is needed to strengthen cooperation in managing Indonesia's border areas, highlighting security, economic, and diplomatic aspects. The findings indicate that cross-border cooperation, the involvement of domestic and private actors, and regional diplomacy are keys to optimizing border management. Furthermore, area-based economic development models, such as Special Economic Zones, can improve the welfare of border communities while strengthening state sovereignty. This paper recommends policy integration, increased inter-agency coordination, and the adoption of best practices from other countries to achieve sustainable border management.]]>
