Abstract

The liberalization of services within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has been a key focus since the ASEAN Framework Agreement on Services (AFAS) was signed in 1995. This effort reached a new milestone by introducing the ASEAN Trade in Services Agreement (ATiSA) in 2019, which seeks to enhance further the integration and liberalization of the services sector across ASEAN member states (AMS). ATiSA aims to create a stable and predictable environment for service trade by reducing discriminatory regulatory barriers and increasing transparency. This study explores the best strategy for Indonesia to leverage the benefits of ATiSA by conducting a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis. The distributed questionnaires are filled out by 43 individual respondents from 19 government institutions representing nine ministry or national agencies, seven private sectors, and two academic institutions. The SWOT results show that Indonesia can take the Strengths-Opportunity strategy to benefit from ATiSA implementation. To maximize the strength, moderate support is still needed to regulate and develop certified workers. Meanwhile, opportunities to win the ASEAN market include considerable market potential, investment opportunities, enhanced international trade, and positive consumer perception of Indonesian services driven by quality, technology, and digital marketing strategies.

Abstract

Indonesia's foreign policy has always been based on the principle of "freedom and activity," a normative position that emphasizes non-alignment and participation in building a just and peaceful world order. However, in practice, this principle faces dynamic challenges posed by the complexities of global geopolitics, such as great power rivalry, changes in the international economic order, and multidimensional crises like the pandemic and climate change. This article aims to examine how Indonesia formulates and implements its foreign policy to safeguard national interests, from economic, political, and security perspectives, amidst rapid and uncertain geopolitical change. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and foreign policy analysis, this article finds that Indonesia tends to implement an adaptive-pragmatic strategy that remains grounded in the constitution but is also flexible in responding to global conditions. The principle of "freedom and activity" is not stagnant, but rather undergoes strategic interpretation according to the context of the times and the desired national interests. This study confirms that the success of Indonesian foreign policy depends heavily on its diplomatic ability to maintain a balance between policy autonomy and international engagement
