Abstract

This paper tries to analyze contemporary global issues related to transboundary haze transfers seen from the eyes of human security. This study also seeks to examine a new form of security in the era of globalization using the concept of human security to explain more in depth on the issue of transboundary haze pollution. The definition of security have enhanced these days and the proliferation of this issue has affected our daily life, so the concept of security is not only related to sovereignty, state security, and economic security. Environmental security and health security are several examples of the human security concern. Hence, the concept of human security will be best tool to examine and analyse this research. Transboundary haze pollution not only affected Indonesia as a center of the forest fire but also affected countries around it such as Malaysia and Singapore which is suffered from toxic and hazardous air coming from Indonesia’s forest. As a result, deforestation put everyone into a risk globally and locally. This phenomenon happens every year and involved several NGOs and IGOs as well but it look like it will not come to an end, the lack of states capabilities to end up this problem that appear due to neglection towards that issue. As a result not only the economic sector is disturbed but also in the long term, this smoke causes respiratory health problems. This forest fire phenomenon occurs almost every year involving not only state actors, but also some NGOs, INGOs, MNCs and even state-run multinational organizations, but this effort also does not seem to deliver tangible results. How is the involvement of various actors both state actors and non-state actors in solving this problem.
