Reforming Security Governance for Strategic National Vital Objects: The Case of Kijing International Port, Indonesia
Abstract: Kijing International Port is strategic infrastructure supporting international trade, industrial development, and logistics connectivity in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Its security governance involves several institutions operating under separate statutory mandates, resulting in fragmented authority and limited institutional integration. This study examines the existing regulatory framework, its implementation, and the reforms required to establish integrated port security governance. Using normative legal research with statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches, the study analyses legal materials qualitatively, supported by interviews with relevant institutional actors. The findings indicate that Indonesia possesses extensive sectoral regulations and established security institutions but lacks an integrated legal framework for inter-agency coordination, operational command, information exchange, joint risk assessment, cybersecurity, and collective accountability. Consequently, security governance remains predominantly multi-agency rather than fully integrated. The study proposes a two-tier reform involving statutory harmonisation through the omnibus method and an implementing Presidential Regulation on Integrated Port Security Governance. This framework would strengthen coordination, information sharing, and threat-based operational leadership while preserving the statutory authority of participating institutions.
