Abstract:
On October 12, 2002, Indonesia suffered a major terrorist attack in what would be
known as the First Bali Bombing. This thesis explores the critical role of
organizational culture in facilitating effective cooperation between the Australian
Federal Police and the Indonesian National Police during the first Bali bombing
investigation in 2002. This research employs qualitative research methods
specifically focusing on primary data in the form of corresponding journals, books,
articles, and documents related to cooperation between the Australian Federal
Police and the Indonesian National Police to gain valuable insights into
organizational culture and cooperation dynamics. This approach allowed the
author to examine and interpret the data comprehensively, thus providing a deeper
understanding of the topic. By analyzing key case studies, this research aims to
explain the importance of fostering a shared organizational culture and building
strong relationships to enhance international law enforcement cooperation. The
main finding is the impact of cultural differences, strategic cooperation, and
collaborative practices on the success of joint operations between the two law
enforcement agencies. The findings of this research provide valuable insights and
recommendations for future collaboration in counterterrorism efforts between
countries.
