Abstract

Indonesia’s foreign policy has traditionally followed the Bebas dan Aktif (Free and Active) doctrine, emphasizing neutrality while actively engaging in global affairs. However, the election of Prabowo Subianto in 2024 marks a significant shift toward a more assertive and strategic approach. While maintaining Joko Widodo’s focus on economic diplomacy, Prabowo has expanded Indonesia’s priorities to include national security, defense, and global partnerships. His administration has actively pursued key initiatives such as joining BRICS, strengthening maritime security in the Indo-Pacific, and expanding military cooperation with major global powers. This study employs a qualitative thematic analysis of existing literature to examine these policy shifts and their implications for Indonesia’s position on the world stage. The findings indicate that while economic diplomacy remains a central pillar, Prabowo’s approach reflects a broader vision that integrates economic interests with national security and strategic alliances. His leadership emphasizes Indonesia’s sovereignty, defense modernization, and a stronger regional and global presence. By balancing economic partnerships with increased military engagement, Prabowo aims to position Indonesia as an influential middle power capable of shaping regional and international dynamics. Overall, this study highlights how Indonesia’s foreign policy under Prabowo represents a transition from economic pragmatism to a more comprehensive strategy that reinforces national interests while fostering strategic global collaborations.
