Indonesia di Era Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) dan Joko Widodo: Kebijakan Luar Negeri di Tengah Dinamika Lingkungan [Indonesia under Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) and Joko Widodo: Foreign Policy in the Middle of Regional Strategic Environment Dynamics]

Abstract

Indonesia's foreign policy in the Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's (SBY) and Joko Widodo's era have their own strengths and weaknesses. SBY's foreign policy tended to be outwardlooking, which was marked by promotion of soft power, high politics, and leveraging Indonesia influence in global stage. Meanwhile, Joko Widodo's foreign policy is more inward-looking in that it focuses more on domestic sectors. Problems will arise if a country carries out its foreign policy in an unbalanced manner. Development in the global and regional strategic environment requires a collective response achieved in multilateral forums. This makes cooperation and active participation of a country in international forums become important. This paper aims to analyze Indonesia's foreign policy under SBY and Joko Widodo to find out the strengths and weaknesses of both foreign policies. The author has also provided a foreign policy recommendation that combines both inward and outward-looking perspectives in its performance. They are made in the form of reclaiming Indonesia's leadership in ASEAN to make the region a zone of peace, freedom, and neutrality (ZOPFAN), preventing foreign powers infiltration, maintaining ASEAN countries sovereignty, and curbing pragmatic and unilateralist actions in response to strategic environmental dynamics. These are important to ensure the achievement of Indonesia's national interests. In simple terms, outward-looking policies are adopted as a tool to achieve national interests that benefit the Indonesian people (inward-looking).

“…Perkembangan lingkungan strategis global dan domestik memerlukan respon dan reaksi kolektif yang ditarget dalam forum atau organisasi multilateral.
