<![CDATA[Research on attitudes towards foreign policy is still limited in the context of developing countries such as Indonesia. In fact, as one of the largest democracies in the world, public opinion also influences the direction of foreign policy. This study examines how International Relations students in Indonesia, as prospective policymakers who understand global issues, interpret foreign policy based on the geographical location of their educational institutions. The analysis covers four dimensions of attitudes: Cooperative Internationalism, Militancy, Isolationism, and Global Justice, using path coefficient analysis to identify variations between regions. The results showed that students from Sumatra (X1) and DI Yogyakarta–Central Java (X4) had strong support for Cooperative Internationalism and Global Justice, reflecting an open and justice-oriented view. Students from Sumatra also show a high tendency towards militancy, signifying a combination of diplomacy and defensive firmness. Students from Jakarta, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi (X2), and West Java (X3) supported all four dimensions in a balanced manner, indicating a complex and possibly ambivalent attitude. In contrast, students from East Java, Bali, and Nusa Tenggara (X6), as well as Sulawesi, Kalimantan, and Papua (X5) showed low support, particularly in the dimension of global engagement, with moderate tendencies towards militancy and isolationism. These findings affirm the importance of geographical and sociocultural contexts in shaping the foreign policy attitudes of Indonesia's younger generation, as well as provide a starting point for more inclusive and representative policy formulation in the future.]]>
