Implikasi Kebijakan Bebas Visa terhadap Kejahatan Perdagangan Manusia di Indonesia

Abstract

The Government of Indonesia has issued a free-visa policy (BVKS) for 169 States. The
policy is to increase foreign tourist arrivals so as to benefit the economy and tourism of
Indonesia. However, the free –visa policy does not only bring tourists, but also traffickers
and victims of human trafficking. This research aims to explain why free-visa policy
triggers human trafficking by foreigners in Indonesia. The theoretical framework used is
post-internationalism theory, while the type of research is explanatory. This study shows
that there are three causes for free –visa policy triggering human trafficking crimes in
Indonesia, that is : micro factors (increased tourist visits and various motives of foreigners
visiting) ; micro-macro factors (vulnerability of open door immigration policy) and the
macro factors (presence of transnational human trafficking crime).
