Abstract

The Indonesia-Korea Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IK-CEPA) is a significant bilateral agreement in the trade and economic fields between Indonesia and South Korea. It is based on three main pillars: market access for trade in goods and services, trade and investment facilitation, and cooperation and capacity building. This study aims to analyze the bilateral relationship between Indonesia and South Korea through the lens of IK-CEPA, with a particular focus on the rationale, implementation, obstacles, and significance of this cooperation. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, the study collects data through document-based research, internet-based research, and interviews. To ensure data validity and reliability, data triangulation procedures are applied. The study finds that IK-CEPA requires Indonesia and South Korea to commit to higher tariff positions and to facilitate market access and better protection for investors. This fosters a closer relationship between the two countries and enables interdependence. Both countries complement each other's weaknesses to meet their national interests. Although obstacles exist in the negotiation process and the signing of IK-CEPA, the bilateral relationship between Indonesia and South Korea is improving and demonstrating success in economic cooperation.

Abstract

Deep pluralism is used to describe post-colonial global society. At this point, power, wealth, cultural and political authority are widely distributed in a system that is highly interactive and interdependent. This concept has empirical and normative value for understanding Indonesian foreign policy. Empirically, this concept can help explain that Southern countries are the main drivers in the use of deep pluralism in modern history. While normatively, this concept helps to understand Indonesia's role in consensual and contested forms of deep pluralism. Using system dynamics, this article examines how deep pluralism is applied to Indonesia's foreign policy patterns under the Joko Widodo administration. It concludes that Indonesia has a policy pattern that tends towards a consensual form of deep pluralism in the spirit of raison de system.
