The New Southern Policy (NSP) Plus, an initiative by South Korea to deepen its ties with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), presents a unique opportunity for enhanced bilateral cooperation and development, particularly with Indonesia. This research delves into the dynamics and potential of this intensified partnership, focusing on its implications for domestic and international economic and social empowerment. This study is anchored in the neoliberal institutional theory with the Keynesianism perspective within international relations, offering a nuanced perspective on international cooperation’s mechanisms and multidimensional outcomes. Employing a qualitative research method and descriptive analysis, this study examined the complementary aspects of Indonesia and South Korea’s economies and how these synergies can elevate the NSP Plus initiative from a bilateral framework to a more expansive model of international cooperation. This research posits that the mutual benefits derived from this partnership are pivotal in fostering closer ties and can potentially be replicated in other areas of international collaboration. A significant aspect of this study is the exploration of the government’s role as a policy facilitator and the active involvement of the private sector and broader community in these cooperative efforts. This multi-stakeholder approach is critical in understanding the dynamics of international cooperation and its impact on societal elements. Furthermore, this research applied the Keynesianism concept of the five-multiplier effect on economic growth to analyze how the NSP Plus policy can bolster domestic development cycles. It includes job creation, market expansion, and investment market growth, all facilitated by the private sector’s engagement. The study aims to comprehensively understand the NSP Plus initiative’s potential in strengthening Indonesia-South Korea relations and its broader implications for regional economic development and international cooperation.

This study aims to elucidate Indonesia’s strategic use of gastrodiplomacy in Saudi Arabia from 2017 to 2023, highlighting a soft diplomacy approach. By engaging in gastrodiplomacy, Indonesia intends to introduce its culinary heritage and enhance its international reputation. This strategic effort is undertaken collaboratively by the Indonesian government and Indonesian restaurateurs in Saudi Arabia. Utilizing the concepts of gastrodiplomacy and national interest, the research investigated the strategies deployed to promote Indonesian cuisine and the underlying governmental objectives. A descriptive-qualitative method was employed, with data collection achieved through a literature review. The findings revealed that the Indonesian government and food entrepreneurs have implemented gastrodiplomacy in Saudi Arabia through two primary strategies: opening various Indonesian restaurants and organizing Indonesian food events. Consequently, Indonesia’s national interests could be softly pursued through gastrodiplomacy. This paper offers recommendations for future research to assess the effectiveness of Indonesian gastrodiplomacy in Saudi Arabia, as well as the possibility of comparative studies with gastrodiplomacy efforts in other countries.

This article critically examined Indonesia’s policies to mitigate and adapt to climate change within the global climate regime and local political dynamics. A qualitative method and a multilevel governance approach were utilized, emphasizing the dispersion of power both vertically among various levels of governance and horizontally among different quasi-governmental and non-governmental organizations and actors. The analysis unveiled that Indonesia’s climate change policies have involved supranational governance facilitated by global-level regimes and institutions. The government has played a strategic role in aligning itself with these global environmental regimes by implementing laws and policy measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions, control deforestation rates, and address forest degradation. Achieving these governance tasks involved active participation from local governments, municipalities, and non-state actors such as businesses and the community.

This study analyzed the relationship between institutional reforms and climate change partnerships in Indonesia from 2009 to 2021, a period marked by a leadership transition from President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to Joko Widodo. It primarily focused on Indonesia’s bilateral climate partnerships, particularly in addressing deforestation challenges. Using the “transformative 4Is+3” framework, this research delved into the dynamics of institutional reforms within Indonesia’s bilateral climate partnerships. The framework integrates leadership transitions, policy experiments, and decentralization issues, expanding the “4Is” paradigm. Through a qualitative method, including interviews and document analysis, this study explored Indonesia’s strategic partnerships with Australia, the United Kingdom, and Norway from 2009 to 2021. The findings illustrated how the complex interplay of institutions, interests, ideas, and information shaped climate policies and partnerships. The results provided an in-depth understanding of the impacts of institutional reforms and leadership changes on the effectiveness of climate cooperation, offering valuable insights for policymakers, academics, and international stakeholders in addressing global climate challenges.

This study examined Indonesia’s first-ever sovereign wealth fund (SWF), known as the Indonesia Investment Authority (INA), focusing on domestic investment. While some newly established SWFs prioritize domestic markets, most of the traditional sovereign funds invest overseas. This study questions INA’s establishment considering this trend. Through qualitative analysis of secondary data, this research argues that INA’s domestic orientation, structure, and investment objective reflect a growing trend of expanding statism, whereby the government leverages the sovereign fund to shape public and private capital allocation for national projects. INA’s co-investment scheme has enabled non-state actors to maintain their capital ownership while the fund determines investment directions. Given the growing number of SWFs worldwide with varied business models, concerns have emerged that governments may utilize them as instruments of power.

Support from a number of South Pacific countries to groups that voice out the Papuan secession from Indonesia has long been disrupting the Indonesian government. Various policy measures aimed at responding to these continue to be taken, including through Indonesia’s participation as a member of the Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG). This article analyzes the extent to which MSG is basically strategic for Indonesia, especially within the context of the Papuan secession issue, and how far Indonesia’s diplomacy through MSG has contributed to its main objective. Simultaneously utilizing an inter-governmental approach and strategic realism as a framework for analysis, it is argued here that while MSG has a politically strategic position prompting the Indonesian government to exploit similarities and differences with the Melanesian group of states, Jakarta’s diplomacy through MSG continues to face challenges in the future.

Indonesia’s accession to BRICS marks a significant milestone in the country’s evolving foreign policy and economic strategy amidst shifting global power configurations. This study examined Indonesia’s membership through the dual lenses of economic opportunity and geopolitical tension, exploring how participation in the BRICS grouping may accelerate economic growth while also posing new strategic dilemmas. By adopting the theoretical framework of cooperation combined with the dual theoretical framework of complex interdependence and middle power diplomacy, the analysis investigated Indonesia’s motivations for joining BRICS, including aspirations to diversify economic partnerships, attract foreign investment, and reduce dependency on Western-led institutions. At the same time, the study highlights potential challenges related to diplomatic alignment, institutional coherence, and the risk of strategic entanglement in rivalries among major powers, particularly China, Russia, and India. Drawing on qualitative policy analysis, official statements, trade data, and geopolitical assessments, the study discovered that while BRICS membership may offer Indonesia enhanced economic bargaining power and access to alternative development finance, it also requires a delicate balancing of its long-held non-aligned stance and ASEAN-centric diplomacy. The study contributes to the literature on South-South cooperation and middle power diplomacy by offering a timely and critical assessment of how emerging economies like Indonesia navigate the evolving architecture of global governance through multilateral platforms like BRICS.
