Abstract
This academic article aims to analyze problems and obstacles in coordination between government agencies according to the Memorandum of Understanding on the Performance of Duties in government agencies under the Anti-Participation in Transnational Organized Crime Act B.E. 2556. By using 3 theoretical concepts as guidelines for analysis including the concept of globalization, the concept of transnational crimes and the concept of teamwork.
Findings are as follows: the problems in cooperation between government agencies
in preventing and suppressing transnational criminal organizations include (1) problems
from legal regulations (2) problems from government policy (3) internal problems of each
department (4) problems from officials and (5) problems from cooperation between government
agencies. This analysis suggests that the operations of government agencies should clearly define the duties of each department for uncomplicated coordination and not duplication with coordinating agencies. In addition, the government should provide sufficient budget to support operations to each agency that each agency can take concrete steps to prevent and suppress transnational crime organization. This can assist to prevent and reduce the expanding transnational crime organization that will occur within the country.
