Abstract

This paper aims to describe Indonesia's border security policy in the Natuna Islands between 2014 and 2020. The state used to play an active role in moderating tensions in the South China Sea, yet paid less attention to its security while the Natuna was one of the vulnerable borderlines. The rise of domestic interest orientation in the new presidency of Joko Widodo brought about the importance of border security. The research applied the qualitative method with a descriptive analysis. To understand the border security policy in the Natuna, the study used the Wendtian constructivist approach suggesting the role of identity and institution in analyzing the state's behavior and policy in international politics. The research found that Indonesia increased its military and defense capability through its border security policy in the Natuna by deploying troops and military equipment, building defense infrastructure, and strengthening constabulary functions and boarding patrols. Such border security policy portrays Indonesia's rising awareness as a maritime state amid the perceived regional structure of East Asia.
