Indonesia And The Indo-Pacific (Routledge Security In Asia Pacific Series)

This book examines Indonesia's strategies and policies to influence regional cooperation in the Indo-Pacific, focusing especially on Indonesia's efforts to be the maritime fulcrum in the Indo-Pacific during President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) administration from 2014 until the present. Highlighting the importance of Indonesia as the largest country in Southeast Asia and as a founder member of ASEAN, the book, based on extensive original research, provides key insights into Indonesia's maritime policy decision making since 2014. It discusses the domestic political context in which foreign policy decisions are made, provides an explanation for Indonesia's efforts to project its vision of Indo-Pacific cooperation at the ASEAN level and beyond, and demonstrates how Indonesia strives to maintain a delicate balance in its interactions with major powers in the region including the United States, China, and Japan.
