Abstract

This paper examines the Indonesia-Iran Preferential Trade Agreement (II-PTA), signed in May 2023 and ratified in late 2024, as a puzzle for traditional international political economy theories. This theory asserts that a country usually signs trade agreement because of their already significant economic interdependence. But those two Muslim majority nations recorded a relatively low volume in bilateral trade. Utilizing a constructivist framework, this study argues that shared Islamic identity played a significant role in shaping the national interests of both Indonesia and Iran, and driving the agreement forward beyond purely rational economic calculations. The analysis demonstrates how this shared identity, coupled with norms of solidarity within the Ummah, provided a powerful ideational foundation that not only defined cooperation as normatively appropriate but also facilitated the negotiation process. This research foregrounding Islamic identity as a central variable for economic cooperation that deviates from conventional market logic

Abstract

This study investigates Indonesia's strategic interest in prioritizing the automotive sector within the Indonesia-Mozambique Preferential Trade Agreement (IM-PTA), its inaugural African bilateral pact. Contrasting with the agreement's dominant agricultural focus reflected in the tariff schedules for both nations, as both countries have plenty of competitive advantages in the agricultural sectors, this paper explores the unique phenomenon of Indonesia lobbying for the automotive sector as part of the manufacturing industry. Employing Neoclassical Realism (NCR) through a qualitative case study, we analyze how systemic pressures—including global trade uncertainties and Africa's market potential—interacted with domestic variables like elite vision (President Jokowi's economic diplomacy), state capacity, and automotive industry influence. Findings suggest the automotive focus emerged from a convergence of leadership goals and industry requirements. Mozambique was selected due to  potential as a strategic gateway. Conclusively, NCR provides a robust framework explaining this foreign economic policy decision as an outcome of interacting systemic and domestic influences.
