<![CDATA[The multipolar world order has fundamentally changed the dynamics of global conflict mediation. This research aims to construct an alternative mediation model for Indonesia to resolve conflicts in the Middle East. This study uses a qualitative approach thru a comparative analysis between China's economic pragmatism and Indonesia's normative diplomacy. The framework combines constructivism theory and middle power to evaluate diplomatic strategies. The analysis results show that reliance on material capacity hinders the effectiveness of diplomacy. As a solution, this research offers a hybrid mediation model that integrates the doctrine of dynamic balance with the legitimacy of Islamic identity. The concept of dynamic equilibrium, successfully applied in Southeast Asia, can be adapted to build trust without economic coercion. Indonesia has a strategic advantage in the form of true neutrality that can bridge various conflicting parties. The transformation from a passive facilitator to a strategic bridge builder allows the country to maximize its influence. In conclusion, the hybrid model strengthens the tactics of niche national diplomacy. The implication is that middle-power countries can proactively create global governance stability regardless of material resource constraints.]]>
