Abstract

Discussion and focus in the study of International Relations have been developed and influenced by the concept of diplomacy. One of the impacts of its development is the emergence of the cultural diplomacy. Cultural diplomacy has long been practiced by Indonesian government, since Indonesia gained its independence. Although the cultural diplomacy in the Old Order era had not shown any significant impact on Indonesia's national interests, cultural diplomacy always be a part of Indonesia's foreign policy. This paper aims to provide an overview, comparison and evaluation of cultural diplomacy in Indonesia from the New Order era until post-reform. Through the analysis of a number of literatures, authors found that Indonesia cultural diplomacy in the New Order era carried to short-term interests; whether economic or development interest manifested in exhibitions, cooperations and international forums, as well as competitions; and still lack of political or cultural interest. However, Indonesia post-reform cultural diplomacy has encouraged the involvement of non-state actors as well as the performance of public and digital diplomacy.

Abstract

The re-escalation of the Palestine-Israel conflict in 2023 has triggered mixed responses from regional countries, especially Saudi Arabia and Iran, two major powers in the Middle East with contrasting political orientations and national interests. This study aims to analyze the geopolitical dynamics influencing the attitudes of the two countries toward the conflict, using Donald E. Nuechterlein's theory of national interest. Through the library research method, this study identifies that Saudi Arabia tends to emphasize regional stability and maintain strategic relations with the West, while Iran uses the conflict to strengthen its anti-Zionist ideological narrative and expand its regional influence through alliances with non-state actors. The findings show that differences in interests in terms of defense, economy, ideology, and global position significantly shape each country's response patterns. This study contributes to the understanding of the shifting balance of power in the Middle East and the relevance of national interests in determining the direction of foreign policy in the region.
