Abstract

Indonesia’s demand for energy to maintain its industrial development has grown significantly. As a consequence, Jakarta needs new energy sources to support the shortage of diesel and gasoline as the main resources. Saudi Aramco has been a vital partner to fulfil the energy supply considering its source and production capacity. This paper will scrutinise the joint venture project between Indonesian oil company, Pertamina and Saudi Arabian oil company, Saudi Aramco as an Indonesian strategy to overcome its growing need for oil and pursue its energy security. This qualitative research will employ the concept of the International Joint Venture (IJV to examine the role of the government of Indonesia in the negotiation and Implementation process and the challenges in implementing the project.

Abstract

China has cooperated with Malaysia to construct the East Coast Railway Line (ECRL) project as an alternative to fulfil China’s interest for energy supply to sustain its industrial development. ECRL project can tackle the challenges of Straits of Malacca that obstruct China to transport oil from middle East. ECRL project can links port of Klang to Port of Kuantan by railway and then continued to mainland China by vessels. This article explores how China employs its investment in the ECRL Project in Malaysia as a strategisation of space. The theory of smart and hard power as a theoretical framework in this article helps observe the efforts China taken to influence Malaysia to construct ECRL project. This article is divided five parts. Firstly, it talks about the ECRL project in Malaysia and the role of China. Secondly, it breaks down the employed theoretical framework namely the smart power theory related to connectivity. Thirdly is about the smart power strategy that China uses to show its dominance in the region. Fourthly, it will highlight the relation of the ECRL project to Chinese strategisation of interest discussing about how the project is mutually strategic for both countries. Lastly, the part of analysis that demonstrates Chinese investment in the ECRL project in Malaysia is Chinese strategisation of space by exercising its smart power and forming connectivity among China, Malaysia, and other oil-exporting countries for China’s interest in oil.
