UPAYA KERJASAMA INDONESIA – FILIPINA DALAM MENGATASI PRAKTEK ILLEGAL FISHING DI PERAIRAN INDONESIA PERIODE 2007-2011

Abstract

Illegal fishing by foreign ships in Indonesia is often committed by neighbor countries,
such as Philippines. Illegal fishing issue in Indonesia is an important transnational
crime because it can threaten the ecosystem and the economy. Indonesian
Government has made many efforts to stop illegal fishing, including by cooperating
with Philippines in marine and fisheries. Solving Illegal, Unreported, Unregulated
Fishing (IUUF) practice is one of the research issues from the implementation of
Indonesia-Philippines cooperation. This undergraduate thesis used qualitative
research method with descriptive qualitative data analysis. The data collection
techniques are interview with related parties and processing various data, as well as
literature study, which is accumulating data from various literatures, such as books,
journals, scientific articles, agreements, scientific papers, websites related to the
issue. The result of this research is based on on international cooperation theory by
paradigm liberalism and shows that due to increased illegal fishing in Indonesia in
2007-2011, particularly by Philippines fishers, the governments of the Republic of
Indonesia-the Republic of Phillipines established a cooperation which is outlined in
an MoU to solve illegal fishing. Despite the cooperation, the implementation wasn’t
effective due to internal and external factors from both countries.
