Abstract

Bahasa Indonesia:Visi Indonesia untuk menjadi pemimpin kawasan dalam hal kemaritiman telah menjadi isu yang diperdebatkan oleh akademisi maupun politis. Beberapa akademisi berargumen bahwa Indonesia tidak dapat menjalankan peran sebagai pemimpin kawasan dalam hal kemaritiman karena lemahnya kehendak politik, kurangnya sumber daya, serta lemahnya persepsi diri sebagai pemimpin. Dengan menggunakan kerangka analisis teori peran, tulisan ini menghadirkan jawaban alternatif terhadap isu kepimpinan regional Indonesia dalam hal kemaritiman. Tulisan ini berargumen bahwa Indonesia memang memandang diri sebagai pemimpin kawasan dalam hal kemaritiman, namun masalah dalam menjalankan kepemimpinan tersebut terletak pada lemahnya persepsi eksternal atas kepemimpinan Indonesia.English:Indonesia’s aspirations of becoming a leader in regional maritime affair has become a point of contention among scholars and politicians alike. Many scholars argue that Indonesia is unable to effectively take on the role of a regional leader in maritime affairs due to weak political will, lack of resource, or lack of self-perception as both a maritime state and regional leader. Building upon the analytical framework of role theory, this paper brings forth a different answer to the question of Indonesia’s leadership in regional maritime affairs. This paper argues that Indonesia does view itself as a maritime state and regional leader, and that the issue of Indonesia’s leadership is rooted in the lack of external perception towards Indonesia’s leadership in regional maritime affairs.

Abstract

“Mendajung antara dua karang” merupakan salah satu karya Bung Hatta untuk mengambarkan posisi Indonesia pada masa Perang Dingin. Secara garis besar karya ini merupakan bagian dari konsolidasi kebijakan luar negeri Indonesia dalam menghadapi perang ideologi besar antara dua negara berpengaruh Blok Timur yang dipimpin Uni Soviet dan Blok Barat yang dipimpin Amerika Serikat. Istilah Mendayung dalam dua karang ini merupakan istilah yang dapat mengambarkan politik luar negeri bebas aktif yang berusaha untuk terhindar dari tekanan eksternal dari negara hegemoni menyebar luaskan pengaruhnya terhadap Indonesia. Persaingan Amerika Serikat dan Uni Soviet mungkin sudah tidak relevan lagi dalam konteks kontemporer sejak runtuhnya Uni Soviet, akan tetapi Daniel Novotny membawa gagasan ‘mendajung antara dua karang” untuk menjelaskan politik luar negeri Indonesia terhadap Amerika Serikat dan China dalam bukunya yang berjudul “Torn between Amerika dan China; Elite Perceptions and Indonesian Foreign Policy”. Buku Novonty merupakan suatu kajian yang memberikan pemahaman pembuat kebijakan Indonesia pasca perang dingin dengan menitik beratkan upaya Indonesia dalam menemukan jalannya ditengah persaingan dua kekuatan besar antara Amerika Serikat dan China. Selain itu, Novonty juga menyoroti bagaimana persepsi terhadap permasalahan keamanan para elit politik “pejabat” yang diambil berdasarkan pemikiran dan pandangan presiden, menteri, diplomat senior dan perwira tinggi angkatan darat Indonesia terhadap dunia luar pasca perang dingin. Pemikiran dan padangan elit politik menjadi determinan dalam proses melihat ancaman, sehingga berpengaruh pada politik luar negeri Indonesia ditengah dua persaingan kekuatan besar yaitu AS dan China.

Abstract

The Rohingya ethnic conflict is one of the conflicts that occurred due to instability in political life and society in Myanmar. The cause of this conflict was discrimination against the Rohingya ethnic group, which resulted in quite a few Rohingya people fleeing. In 2015, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand agreed to allow Rohingya refugees into their territories. However, Thailand and Malaysia in 2020-2022 did not permit Rohingya refugees to enter their territory. The rejection of these two countries caused Indonesia to become the only country in the world that accepted Rohingya refugees even though it did not ratify the 1951 Convention and the 1967 Protocol. This qualitative research focuses on discussing the factors that prompted Indonesia to accept Rohingya refugees in 2020-2022 with internet-based research in data collection. In addition, this research uses foreign policy from Kegley and Raymond (2012). This research shows that four factors encourage Indonesia to accept Rohingya refugees: geostrategic position, economic conditions, type of government, and decisions & leadership capacity.

Abstract

Indonesia and Australia are neighboring countries with fluctuate bilateral relations. In 2018, they formed Indonesia-Australia Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (IA-CSP) to enhance their partnerships in strategic sectors for the stability of regional security in the Indo-Pacific. However, the problem came up in 2021 when Australia established trilateral defense cooperation AUKUS with the United Kingdom and the United States. This cooperation facilitates Australia to have nuclear-powered submarines to strengthen its military power. This cooperation has raised the eyebrows of Indonesia as it is against IA-CSP’s pillars, particularly pillar on securing the two countries and the region’s shared interest, and pillar on contributing to Indo-Pacific stability and prosperity. Therefore, Indonesia regretted Australia’s participation in AUKUS because the former deemed the latter to have violated its commitment on IA-CSP. This research aims to analyze IA-CSP’s opportunities and challenges post-establishment of AUKUS. It used a qualitative method, with interviews and literature review in place to collect data. The authors used regional security complex theory and strategic partnership concept for analysis. This research found that AUKUS does not disrupt the implementation of IA-CSP because the cooperation instead provides opportunities that Indonesia can utilize for its national interest. However, AUKUS poses challenges that Indonesia needs to tackle.

Abstract

In recent years, Indonesia has actively pursued economic diplomacy to enhance its international standing through trade, tourism, investment, and services (TTIS). This study focuses on analyzing Indonesia's economic diplomacy strategy in developing the Mandalika Special Economic Zone (SEZ) from 2017 to 2021. Employing a qualitative methodology involving data analysis and interviews, the research follows the four phases of economic diplomacy outlined by Kishan S. Rana, encompassing economic salesmanship, economic networking, image building, and regulatory management with resource mobilization. This aimed to unravel Indonesia's commitment to fostering tourism as a strategic sector, utilizing Mandalika SEZ to attract investments. Findings reveal that Indonesia has successfully navigated through the four phases, particularly emphasizing sports tourism in Mandalika and cultivating a conducive investment climate. The study underscores the academic importance by contributing insights into the intricacies of economic diplomacy, tourism development, and the role of non-state actors, exemplified by the ITDC serving as Mandalika's BUPP. This research bridges gaps in the literature, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of Indonesia's economic diplomacy and offering practical implications for policymakers and investors alike.

Abstract

The Riau Islands Province is a province that directly faces the borders of the Republic of Indonesia. The existence of the Riau Islands as a province on the border and northern gateway to Indonesia makes the Riau Islands face the dynamics of border issues.

Abstract

Looking at the contribution of Indonesia's leadership in the region that has been built for a long time, it can be seen, among others, through Indonesia's prominent role in the Southwest Pacific region through the Southwest Pacific Dialogue (SwPd). Seeing how Indonesia became the initiator at that time can be the basis for Indonesia's leadership in the Southwest Pacific region today. This paper aims to find out how Indonesia's geopolitically oriented foreign policy under the leadership of President Jokowi is further examined in the southwest Pacific region. The theory used in this study is poliheuristic theory. The research method used is a qualitative paradigm with descriptive analysis and secondary data collection techniques from various relevant references. The results show that under President Jokowi's leadership, a reorientation of Indonesia's foreign policy in the Southwest Pacific region is crucial. This is based on the orientation of Indonesia's national interests, especially securing and ensuring that the political and security fields become the top priorities in foreign policy.

Abstract

Regional integration in ASEAN has been a delicate and ongoing issue over the years. Such goal is hard to achieved due to the ASEAN Way, including its “Non-Intervention Principle” which consequently has transformed ASEAN into a governmental driven regional institution, instead of supranational organization. The case of South China Sea is one prime example of how incompetent ASEAN is in dealing with regional security threat inflicting its member states. This conflict poses an even larger threat if it is not tackled seriously. This paper uses Juridical normative method by looking at international legal instruments in analyzing ASEAN’s empowerment for regional integration to tackle regional security matters. By looking at EU Model as a source of reference. This paper shows ASEAN-EU relations has grown significantly and many believe ASEAN has the capacity to transform like the EU in the future. There are a number of international legal instruments which under serious amendment, can transform ASEAN towards that goal, particularly in helping to deal with the never ending South China Sea conflict.

Abstract

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) serves as an intergovernmental organization (IGO) that promotes economic and social welfare through policy coordination, norm-setting, and rule implementation. With member countries averaging a per capita income exceeding US$10,000, the OECD represents a group of high-income economies. Indonesia, currently a key OECD partner, has demonstrated strong interest in joining the organization and has undertaken various reforms to meet membership standards. However, the country faces significant challenges in aligning its sustainable development framework with OECD requirements. This study employs a qualitative-descriptive approach grounded in Institutional Liberalism theory to examine Indonesia's accession efforts. Findings indicate that while Indonesia has implemented economic improvements as part of its OECD membership plan, its middle-income status remains a major hurdle. Key obstacles include the need to boost national income, enhance international trade regulations, and strengthen infrastructure and human capital development. The research highlights that overcoming these barriers is essential for Indonesia to transition from a middle-income to a high-income economy and meet OECD membership criteria.

Abstract

This paper examines the rise of Islamic populism in Indonesia (2014–2019) as a far-right political movement shaped by both domestic and international forces. Existing literature—rooted in essentialist, institutionalist, or political economy frameworks—often overlooks the global dimensions of this phenomenon, remaining confined within methodological nationalism. To address this, the study employs the Uneven and Combined Development (U&CD) framework, which emphasizes the role of international structures—such as the 1998 Asian Financial Crisis, the U.S.-led War on Terror, the 2008 global financial crisis, and the rise of China—in conditioning domestic political dynamics. The paper argues that Islamic populism in Indonesia emerges from the structural effects of global capitalism and geopolitical instability, which have intensified domestic crises of representation and inequality. In this context, segments of the urban precariat have turned to exclusionary, religiously framed narratives, producing a mass movement that reflects global far-right trends: anti-elite resentment, anti-pluralism, and moral revivalism. Islamic populism in Indonesia, therefore, is not merely cultural or religious—it is a locally embedded but globally conditioned political response.
