<![CDATA[Transnational organized crime (TCO) poses a serious threat to Indonesia-Malaysia regional security. Conventional police cooperation is often hampered by legal, bureaucratic, and political differences.This article analyzes the application of the Nodal Governance model as a strategy to strengthen bilateral police cooperation in addressing TCO. Qualitative research using a case study approach, in-depth interviews with key informants (Indonesian National Police, Regional Police, and the International Relations Division), and official document analysis. Results of this research shows that Nodal Governance has proven effective in integrating multiple actors (police, immigration, customs, and civil society) for intelligence coordination, extradition, and joint operations. Based on this research can be concluded thath this model offers flexibility and efficiency in overcoming structural constraints and can be adopted as a framework for transnational police cooperation in the ASEAN region.]]>
