Abstract:
The Golden Triangle region is one of the regions in Asia that has a threat of drug
trafficking problems that are large enough to require good collaboration from all
parties, including ASEAN as one of the Asian International organizations. ASEAN
formed a committee called ASEAN Official on Drug Matters, which aims to tackle
drug problems in the Asian region. This study uses a qualitative research method to
analyze ASEAN's role through ASOD in addressing drug problems in the Golden
Triangle region from 2018 to 2022. The data used comes from secondary data
sources such as national and international webinars on drug trafficking in the
Golden Triangle region, official websites of relevant institutions and ministries, and
data and reports from the internet related to the research topic to analyze the impact
of ASOD on drug problems in the Golden Triangle from 2018 to 2022, the author
uses neoliberal institutionalism theory as a parameter. The results of the research
conducted show that ASOD, from 2018 to 2022, failed to deal with drug trafficking
in the Golden Triangle region effectively enough.ASOD serves as a critical pillar
in achieving the Vision of a drug-free ASEAN, and this ineffectiveness is
undoubtedly due to several constraints affecting ASOD's operations.
