Abstract

Memotret politik luar negeri Indonesia bukanlah hal yang sederhana. Kompleksitas politik domestik seperti perubahan rezim dan sistem politik, serta juga situasi internasional seperti Perang Dingin, kebangkitan Asia, pergeseran kekuatan global, menjadi materi utama yang berpengaruh dalam usaha menjelaskan tersebut. Namun, dibalik perubahan dan dinamika politik domestik dan internasional itu sendiri, terdapat pola-pola khusus yang mengiringi perjalanan politik luar negeri Indonesia, baik ada yang terus berlanjut, maupun ada yang terhenti. Meskipun diperlukan energi yang cukup besar dalam usaha tersebut, bukan satu hal yang tidak mungkin untuk menjelaskan politik luar negeri Indonesia secara komprehensif.

Abstract

Migration of workers is an important economic activity for both receiving and sending countries. However, apart from the benefits that migrant workers bring, there are many vulnerabilities and insecurities they face such as physical and mental violence, unpaid wages, human trafficking, and others. In fact, freedom from fear, freedom from want, and to live with dignity is the right of every worker as an individual. Using a qualitative approach and the framework of human security concept, this article aims to analyze the efforts made by the Indonesian government in protecting its migrant workers. The study found that the government efforts has demonstrated the practice of human security principles and approaches in its strategies; however, there are still many challenges that need to be addressed.

Abstract

As a popular culture, One Piece anime is strategically utilized in cultural diplomacy to enhance Japan’s global influence and image on the international level. One Piece is popular in Indonesia, especially among university students in Yogyakarta. This study examines how the cultural diplomacy of One Piece influences perceptions of Indonesian students in Yogyakarta towards Japan’s identity and cultural values. By using Alexander Wendt’s social constructivism, this study emphasizes the importance of social interaction in the construction of Japanese cultural identity, norms, and values through the cultural diplomacy of One Piece in Indonesia, supported by the Cool Japan policy. This study uses primary data collection through a survey of 150 students who are One Piece fans in Yogyakarta, as well as secondary data from various relevant documents. The survey is processed using SPSS. The result shows that the popularity of One Piece in Yogyakarta encourages the acceptance of values such as hard work, solidarity (friendship), and respect (bushido) that are typical of Japanese culture. It also proves that cultural diplomacy of One Piece contributes significantly to strengthening Japan’s positive image in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Abstract

This article examines Indonesia’s foreign policy under President Prabowo through the lens of neorealism. Amid intensification of geopolitical rivalries among great powers, Indonesia has actively pursued a strategy of multi-alignment. Drawing on neorealist assumptions, Indonesia’s foreign policy seeks to maximize national strategic autonomy through diversified bilateral and multilateral partnership. Indonesia demonstrates a pragmatic adaptation to structural constraints in the contemporary multipolar world order characterized by global political uncertainty; numerous middle power countries have started to respond by implementing multi-alignment strategy. Indonesia has taken the same initiatives. Under Prabowo’s leadership, Indonesia pursued BRICS membership and continued its OECD accession process as part of its economic and development cooperation initiatives. Notably, these two economic cooperation organizations represent two forces from opposing political blocs. This study examines Indonesia’s multi-alignment strategy under Prabowo’s leadership, with an emphasis on two significant policy moves in economic and development cooperation: OECD accession and BRICS membership. This study uses qualitative methods and draws on neorealist frameworks to investigate how Indonesia aims to enhance its global influence while maintaining its economic interest in the face of rising geopolitical rivalry between rich countries and the Global South. The findings show that Indonesia’s multi-alignment strategy is useful enough in securing Indonesia’s national interest.

Abstract

This article reframes the “game changer” thesis in Indonesian foreign policy as a programmatic form of strategic imagination rather than a predictive claim about national ascent. Drawing on Anis Matta’s Gelombang Ketiga Indonesia (2014) and Indonesia sebagai Game Changer (2024), the study reconstructs a repertoire of role claims—model-maker, bridge-builder, agenda-setter, humanitarian leader, and system-builder—and translates them into implied policy demands. These demands are filtered through a structured policy capacity diagnostic (analytical–operational–political × individual–organizational–systemic). Using focused Indonesia-centered illustrations, the article shows that deliverability hinges less on narrative ambition than on recurrent capacity signatures, particularly organizational–operational coordination and systemic–political legitimation. Adaptations such as quiet diplomacy, selective enactment, and narrative governance emerge as capacity-congruent outcomes rather than simple failure. The study contributes by linking role theory and policy capacity into a portable deliverability framework applicable to Muslim-majority democracies facing high civilizational ambition under institutional constraint.

Abstract

Structural stagnation in the World Trade Organization (WTO), such as the paralysis of the Appellate Body and inequality in subsidies and special treatment (S&DT) issues, has encouraged developing countries to demand more inclusive institutional changes. For Indonesia, this stagnation potentially threatens national interests in strategic sectors such as agriculture and fisheries. This study aims to analyze Indonesia's diplomatic strategy as a middle power in encouraging the transformation of the multilateral trading system after the 13th Ministerial Conference (MC13). Using a qualitative-descriptive approach through a single case study and thematic analysis of policy documents, this study found that Indonesia implemented multitrack diplomacy involving the Global South coalition (G33 and LMDC), normative advocacy, and a deliberative approach in multilateral negotiations. As a result, Indonesia managed to secure subsidy exemptions for small-scale fishers, push the principle of capacity-sensitive adjudication in the dispute settlement agenda, and defend the expansion of S&DT coverage. Theoretically, these findings strengthen the concept of middle power diplomacy by demonstrating the effectiveness of normative strategies in the face of global power asymmetry. This study recommends strengthening technical capacity and coordination among domestic institutions to support the consistency and sustainability of Indonesia's diplomatic position in international trade forums.
