The perpetrator of the explosion was Jemaah Islamiyah as the descendent of radical Islamic group, Darul Islam that born in Indonesia. To prevent the threat the government of Indonesia has taken steps forward to deal with terrorism by releasing terrorism act through the Indonesian Constitution and Indonesian National Police. Thus, Indonesian National Police creates Detachment 88/AT as a new division to deal with terrorism in Indonesia. However, the capability of Indonesian National Police in dealing with terrorism has not reached perfection. Moreover, the bomb blasts that hit Indonesia had killed many foreign people including Australian. Since the location of Australia is as the border with Indonesia, in order to protect the country, the people and its interest from the threat of terrorism, the government of Australia has established Counter- Terrorism Strategy White Paper to show that Australia has taken a strong initiative to deal with terrorism. Therefore, since there have been Australian travelled to Indonesia for some purposes, in order to protect them, the government of Australia encourages Indonesian government to work closely in countering terrorism. Thus, through this thesis, the author tries to show the reader that the Australia’s Counter-Terrorism Strategy has a role play in dealing with terrorism in Indonesia which is through the supports. Keywords: Bilateral Relations, Counter-Terrorism, Strategy, Australia, Indonesia, Terrorism, Indonesian National Police, Detachment 88/AT iv ABSTRAK Ancaman terorisme telah tersebar di wilayah Asia Tenggara seperti ledakan bom yang terjadi di Kuta, Bali pada tahun 2002 yang telah menewaskan 202 orang termasuk warga Indonesia maupun mancanegara. Pelaku ledakan itu adalah Jemaah Islamiyah yang sebenarnya berasal dari kelompok Islam radikal, Darul Islam yang lahir di Indonesia. Untuk melindungi negara dari ancaman terorisme, Pemerintah Indonesia telah mengambil langkah maju untuk menangani terorisme dengan mengeluarkan kebijakan melalui Undang-Undang Dasar dimana mengarah kepada Kepolisian Negara Republik Indonesia sebagai institusi yang menangani kasus tersebut. Dengan demikian, Kepolisian Negara Republik Indonesia membentuk divisi baru yaitu Densus 88/AT sebagai divisi untuk menangani kasus terorisme di Indonesia. Namun, kemampuan Kepolisian Negara Republik Indonesia dalam menangani terorisme belum mencapai kesempurnaan. Selain itu, ledakan bom yang melanda Indonesia telah membunuh banyak warga asing, termasuk warga Australia. Australia yang terletak berbatasan dengan Indonesia, untuk melindungi negara, rakyat dan kepentingan Australia dari ancaman terorisme, pemerintah Australia telah membentuk Counter-Terrorism Strategy White Paper untuk menunjukkan bahwa Australia telah mengambil inisiatif yang kuat untuk menangani serangan terorisme. Oleh karena itu, dikarenakan banyak warga Australia yang berkunjung ke Indonesia, untuk melindungi mereka, pemerintah Australia mengajak pemerintah Indonesia untuk bekerja sama dalam menangani kasus terorisme. Dengan demikian, melalui penulisan tesis ini, penulis mencoba untuk menunjukkan pembaca bahwa Strategi Kontra-Terorisme Australia memiliki peran penting dalam menangani kasus terorisme di Indonesia dengan melalui dukungan-dukungan.
