Abstract Along with rapid globalisation, transnational crime is becoming increasingly prevalent. In the Asia-Pacific region, the phenomenon of people smuggling is a nontraditional security issue; which warrants serious debate. Australia has a ‘pull factor’ in this regard because of relative economic stability, and is perceived to be a country of opportunity: thus Australia has the attention of prospective immigrants. According to international migration pathways, Indonesia possesses a very broad and strategically advantageous geography, making it a perfect transit country for the smuggling of humans before they set off for Australia. The increasingly complex problems, which Indonesia faces, are paving the way for it to in fact become the sender state, not just the transit state. The real dangers of people smuggling issue must be realised, particularly; but not isolated to, threats to the durability and national security of both states. A common ground must thus be achieved wherein both countries may cooperate and address this most serious of issues. This paper argues that through multi-track diplomacy, this issue may be prevented, and even stopped all together. This study aims to determine the best strategy or diplomatic path for both Indonesia and Australia in handling the issue of transnational crimes related to people smuggling, and describes the challenges faced in the carrying out of these diplomatic channels. The author will utilise the conceptual basis of multi-track diplomacy in order to answer unequivocally, the research question of this thesis.
