Ethical Deliberation The Contemporary Role of Indonesia in ASEAN

886 Internaional Conference on Social Poliics elements of the state. Nation-state is widely known as the existence of an eligible government, a group of citizen, and a territory with the exact border. Thus, the process of identifying nation state should be conducted by understanding its border area. An introduction to the border understanding and the related terms could be useful in mapping the limit of both rights and duties of states in dealing with the importance of border area. Deining border could be derived from the ideas of Stephen B Jones about Boundary Making which emphasized on Allocation, Delimitation, Demarcation, dan Administration. Allocation: itcovers the state’s territory which includes the border area. International law has regulated the way in which state may possess or lose its territory. Indonesia interprets its territory as inherited by the Dutch during collonalization. It is in line with the principle of international law on Uti Possidetis Juriswhich stated that one state inherits its collonialist’s territory, for instance the border agreement between West Borneo and Serawak which established an exact peg by based on the border area left by the collonialists. Delimitation: after having set the territory up, the following step to do is identifying the overlapping claim over some particular areas which remains unclear. Demarcation: this is step taken after delimitation by mostly applying border agreement. Demarcation is conducted in the ground. This is important as it becomes the beginning and the end of rights, duties, and state sovereignty. The demarcation is decided by putting signs and pegs along the borderlines as agreed by all parties. Administration development management. Despite the last step conducted, it does not mean that administration could only be taken after the previous three steps accomplished. Theory of Boundary Makingpointed that border area management could be overlapped or applied alongwith the process of establishing border and demarcation. It is logical as it takes a long time to deal with the problem solving processes and development in economic, social, culture, and politics. Besides, it also requires a process of understanding socialization to those living in the border area. For instance, after the demarcation has been set up, they may live separatedly with families living in the different administrative area, and possibly different nationalities. In this step, all national stakeholders also include within. Local government could participate actively in the border management. Besides, there has been known the Maritime Border. The delimitation of maritime border is regulated under the Law of the Sea. The UN Conference has produced three conventions on the law of the sea notably known as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea UNCLOS Arsana, 2007:6. In setting the border area, we could take an example on how Indonesian government considers its border. As an archipelagic state, Indonesia under international law possess various national borders in both the fully sovereigned border and the border with natural resources utilization continental shelf and Exclusive Economic Zone. Archipelagic state principleis the manifestation of Indonesian archipelagic vision wawasan nusantara which considers sea as the thing that unites all part of Indonesia, not the one that divides. According to this principle, Indonesian sea has widened from 100.000km 2 to approximately 3.000.000km 2 . Indonesian sea holding a full sovereignty consists of Internal Waters, Archipelagic Sea or Indonesian Archipelagic Sea, and Territorial Sea. However, the existing border deinition reveals: that border area covers land area, sea and air above along the mutual border of two states would be based on the need and agreement of all parties involved. Also, Contiguous zone Kawasan Penyangga Perbatasan is also applied in order to forge a national security control from the low of goods and individuals in Indonesian territory. Geographically, Indonesia is the ifth largest states in the world separated by two big “matra”; at the sea with ten states: Australia,
