Abstract

The Visa on Arrival is Indonesia's foreign policy instrument to boost tourism. Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 had an impact on the increasing arrival of Russian tourists to Indonesia. The increasing number of Russians was also directly proportional to the violative and negative sentiments about Russian tourists on social media, public demands to revoke their visa. Despite negative public opinion, the Indonesian government still maintained visa on arrival for Russians. This paper analysed the case study by using Doeser’s (2013) model on circumstances when democratic governments neglected public opinion in foreign policy, with its indicators: issue salience, elite debate, and elite perceptions of international gains. This qualitative research used social media analysis to deconstruct the public opinion on issue salience and causal process tracing was used to analyse the context and development of the case. Interviews were conducted to obtain information and confirm the findings. This study found that the neglected of public opinion was carried out because the case categorized as non-critical issue happened episodically thus had low salience. Low media coverage and asymmetrical elite debates resulted in elite consensus. Then, Indonesia avoided economic and political losses and maintained bilateral relations with Russia.

Abstract

On August 17, 2024, Indonesia released a new passport design themed on the archipelago'sfabrics. The public felt that strengthening the power of Indonesia's passport was more importantthan changing the design. The public even compared the power of Indonesia's passport, whichis weaker than those of neighboring countries. In the discourse of the passport's power, it isunclear whether the ‘power’ in question refers to the passport as a document or the countrythat issued the passport. This research aims to explore whether the passport's power is directlyproportional to the material power of the issuing country and criticize the meaning of thepassport's power. To reveal the meaning of passport power, this paper uses the concept ofpower in a constructivist perspective, which is then compared with material power attributes.Comparation reveals that the material power of a country does not always reflect the powerof its passport. Indonesia's passport is weaker because the visa granting policy is based onideational aspects in bilateral interactions between countries and not solely on the country'smaterial capabilities. The passport power narrative has a political dimension by benefitingcertain parties in the discourse. The word ‘power’ will justify hegemonic structures and reinforcediscrimination against low-ranking countries.
