DAMPAK KONFLIK PERBATASAN WILAYAH DOKLAM TERHADAP KEAMANAN EKOLOGIS BHUTAN

Abstract

The research will discuss how conflicting political interests in the border region of three countries, Bhutan, China and India, have an impact on Bhutan's efforts to maintain the country's ecological security. This research aims to analyze the political power gap between the three countries and the threat from the dominant power to the supporting aspects of the commitment to carbon neutrality and environmental protection. The research was conducted through a qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of literature review which was then analyzed to produce descriptive explanations. The concept of political ecology was used to see the context of interests and political power of each actor. As a result, the border conflict involving Bhutan, China and India is considered to have an impact on Bhutan's efforts to maximize forest areas and seek the development of wildlife reserves in the Sakteng

area.
