Abstract

This study explores the relationship between national defense capability, defense economics, and economic stability in Indonesia’s development context. Defense and economic development are closely linked and essential for maintaining national sovereignty and prosperity, particularly amid globalization and complex geopolitical dynamics. Using a literature review and meta-analysis, the study examines how defense capability and defense economics interact to influence economic stability and growth. The findings indicate that stronger defense capability supports the defense economy, which in turn contributes to overall economic stability. However, this relationship is not linear and depends on factors such as government policy, R&D investment, domestic industrial capacity, and geopolitical conditions. Technological innovation and defense industry development are also identified as key drivers of growth and resilience to external shocks. The study provides insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders to strengthen synergy between defense and national economic development.

Abstract

The escalating geopolitical rivalry between major powers, particularly the United States and China, has profoundly reshaped the maritime security landscape of the Indo-Pacific region. Strategic sea lanes, such as the Strait of Malacca and the South China Sea, have become central arenas for this competition, creating a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environment with direct implications for regional stability. This study analyzes the impact of this great power competition on Indonesia's maritime security and formulates an optimal national strategy. Employing a qualitative approach, the research utilizes a SWOT analysis strengthened by Internal Factor Analysis Summary (IFAS) and External Factor Analysis Summary (EFAS) matrices. The findings reveal that Indonesia is positioned in Quadrant I of the SWOT matrix, indicating significant internal strengths and substantial external opportunities. Consequently, a Strength-Opportunity (SO) strategy emerges as the most optimal choice. This strategy advocates for Indonesia to leverage its geostrategic position and diplomatic capital to lead regional cooperation, enhance maritime domain awareness through technology, and pursue adaptive defense diplomacy, thereby maintaining the stability of strategic sea lanes amidst great power rivalry.
