Abstract

The research in the Sunda Strait was carried out because its position which is very close to the City of Jakarta, the State Capital of the Republic of Indonesia so that it has a very high escalation of potential threats faced with the potential threat of national defense that may occur in the Sunda Strait if it is not anticipated. Transnational crime rates in Indonesia from year to year have always risen sharply, the capture of drug smuggling in Banten waters in the amount of 1 (one) ton in 2017, it is very clear that Jakarta has been the target of asymmetric warfare. Taking this into account: "What is the synergy of maritime institutions in carrying out their main tasks in the face of the asymmetrical warfare threat in the Sunda Strait of Banten Province?" This research uses descriptive phenomenological qualitative research methods with a discussion using the theory of synergy. The resource persons involved as informants were all law enforcers at sea and related parties. Paying attention to the interview data to the resource person, that there is a synergy in the implementation of the main tasks and functions of each institution in the maritime sector, although it is still running on its own, this can be proven in the absence of information exchange, so that one another looks for information individually. Found a supporting factor in the form of the existence of a forum between law enforcement and the local government, but also found the main obstacles namely the limited budget to support operational activities and the limited support of facilities / infrastructure needed. In addition, there are also obstacles to information sharing between law enforcement. To conclude the results of this study, it can be concluded that official and unofficial maritime forums are needed which can bring together stakeholders to exchange information that can be used for the benefit of overcoming asymmetric warfare in the Sunda Strait in accordance with the potential of their respective task fields and functions. These forums are to eliminate the inhibiting factors of synergy in the implementation of defense policies with different interests and interpretations in terms of their implementation. The difference in interpretation is due to differences in the organizational structure of each implementor.
