Border security is often a priority for many countries, which is widely used as a study in international borders. The dynamic and bordering national security landscape has demanded the country to be more alert and cautious in managing this complex border security. When it involves bordering countries, it is related to cooperation between two parties. Therefore, border security cooperation is an important aspect to ensure the bordering countries are well managed and safe from various transnational threats at border. Transnational threats that regularly occur involve human trafficking and smuggling, as well as the invasion of illegal immigrant and terrorists, which risk border security and affect the country and people, especially border communities. All these transnational threats are difficult to control by a country and require border security cooperation. However, there is no clear definition of border security cooperation and many gaps that require exploration from the context of analytical framework to evaluate the effectiveness of border security cooperation. Therefore, this article will present an analysis framework of Comprehensive Border Security Cooperation Model (CBSC Model), which was developed by researchers, based on adaptation from Boundary Making Theory. Basically, this theory emphasizes the role of state actor in border management of a country, but it does not deny the role of other actors, namely border communities, politicians, and international actors. The CBSC model lists six (6) important components that can be used as a guide in forming a comprehensive security cooperation framework to ensure that border security cooperation is implemented effectively.
