恐怖主義,刻由伊斯蘭國於世界各地掀起一股恐慌,其中東南亞地區長期受到恐怖主義的侵襲,復以印尼擁有廣大的穆斯林人口,因此東南亞「反恐」毫無疑問成為全球課題。澳洲肇因2002年峇里島爆炸案中多名公民死傷,正式以國家利益為優先來參與反恐戰爭,並加強與印尼間合作,擴及東南亞區域的恐怖主義防堵;換言之,澳洲-印尼間的反恐合作不僅為各自國家提升打擊恐怖主義能力,並以兩國雙邊合作模式帶動區域內國家合作之趨勢。此舉深化區域安全之外,進而成為全球反恐行動中關鍵拼圖,直接促使澳洲國家定位上昇,儼然為東南亞區域中強權國家。總之,澳洲與印尼間脣齒相依,以兩國緊密合作的成效,為區域甚或全球反恐,實際作出積極的範式效果。
Terrorism is, now lead by IS, rising the panic around the world, especially Southeast Asia has been suffered from terrorism in the long term, and Indonesia has huge amount of Muslim population. Therefore, anti-terrorism in Southeast Asia is a globe issue with no doubt. In 2002, Bali bombing caused plenty of Australian citizens deaths and casualties. Moreover, Australia prioritizes the war of anti-terrorism based on the national benefit to enhance the cooperation with Indonesia, further to expand to the containment of terrorism in Southeast Asia. In other words, the cooperation between Australia and Indonesia not only fortifies the capability of countering terrorism, and drives the trend of bilateral cooperation in the region. This Australia-Indonesia pattern deepens the regional security, and becomes the crucial part in the anti-terrorism puzzle globally. Of course, Australia benefits from the cooperation to promote the nation’s status and becomes the power in Southeast Asia. To sum up, the relation of Australia and Indonesia is a key to close cooperation, which positively practically exemplifies the bilateral effects to regional and international anti-terrorism.
