The State Existence in Cross-Border Trade Policy Implementation in Jagoi Babang Region in Indonesia
Keywords:
State Existence, Policy Implementation, Cross-border TradeAbstract
Borders are very vulnerable locations governments need to critically secure. These strategic positions are particularly prone to various smuggling operations, apart from demonstrating significant economic development. The purpose of this study was to analyze the state existence in cross-border trade policy implementation in Jagoi Babang, in Indonesia. Qualitative research technique was adopted, using data from interviews, observations, and focus group discussion, followed by a qualitative assessment. The analysis results indicated a poor performance in terms of the overall study objective, due to inadequacies in certain aspects of the policy enactment. Based on available data from Customs and Excise Supervision and Service Office Type Madya Pabean B Pontianak, 338 smuggling cases were reported in 2019 along the land border regions of Jagoi Babang, Bengkayang regency. These events were attributed to insufficient patrol personnel from the above mentioned unit responsible for guarding the border crossing post. In addition, the number of unofficial routes or obscured paths, inadequate infrastructure development, as well as the depreciating condition of the cross-border checkpoint greatly contributed to these unfortunate occurrences. Furthermore, the use of sophisticated electronic and computerized equipment remains very insignificant. Therefore, the government is expected to improve on its effort in developing border areas, including Jagoi Babang, by initiating functional programs and activities.
