This paper asks a simple question, “Has Indonesia been truly capable of (1) restricting refugees and asylum seekers’ movement and (2) to processing the refugees’ and asylum seekers’ claims to concluding parts?” This paper argues that the alleged securitization-based policy on refugees or asylum-seekers has had little impact on refugee rights such as freedom of movement and the right to get a claim processed. The simple reason is that Indonesia has no capacity to launch such a paradoxical mix of ironfist and refugee-spoiling policy. Through some historical accounts of how this iron-fist policy has come about, and how it actually has little impact on the right to claim to be refugees and asylum-seekers, this paper rev...

This paper asks a simple question, "Has Indonesia been truly capable of (1) restricting refugees and asylum seekers' movement and (2) to processing the refugees' and asylum seekers' claims to concluding parts?" This paper argues that the alleged securitization-based policy on refugees or asylum-seekers has had little impact on refugee rights such as freedom of movement and the right to get a claim processed. The simple reason is that Indonesia has no capacity to launch such a paradoxical mix of ironfist and refugee-spoiling policy. Through some historical accounts of how this iron-fist policy has come about, and how it actually has little impact on the right to claim to be refugees and asylum-seekers, this paper reveals the natural order of this set of policies has failed to restrict refugee movement and to fulfill their right to claim [to be refugees or asylum-seekers] to be processed. The paper finds that Indonesia's incapacity and thus its failure to limit freedom of movement and to expand refugee status determination has affected the overall achievement of fulfilling refugee and asylum-seeker rights negatively. In a way, this finding corroborates what Missbach (2017) found to be the Indonesian Government's "inconsistent and ad hoc approaches." As this paper has revealed by these facts, the national, regional and global actors and contributors of all kinds to the refugee and asylum seeker issue need to rethink the way to understand the policy stagnancy that this paper dubs a "fossilized refugee policy."

The explicit question this paper asks are blow-by-blow narrative of the policy changes and the relatively recent stationary position of such policy evolution. The methods are historical narratives, turning points, and other necessary steps in the genealogy and political economy approach. The materials are taken from some research data and secondary data from the larger research project entitled "Technologies and Human Trafficking in Thailand" which is done in Samut Sakhon Province. To follow the clues from Sorajjakool's (2013) clues on the most important issues in trafficking, this paper takes two of the most important aspects of human trafficking in Thailand: trafficking for sexual purposes and for labor. The analysis of the two phenomena is based on [policy] genealogical methods (problematization, episodical retrace, exemplary narrative, and cyclical recurrence). Using the political economy KKUIJ 10 (2) : May-August 2020 KKU International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences 92 analysis, the paper shows that Thailand recently has ended up with a rather mixed way between the micro-level and intermediate-level of analysis and policy approach through the creation of border and immigration/ security system to manage migration along with the care of the victims through government-sanctioned "raids" to trafficking sites.
