Karim examines the changes and continuity of Indonesia’s foreign
policy in the post-authoritarian era, under presidents Susilo
Bambang Yudhoyono and Joko Widodo. Indonesia conceptualised and
aimed to adopt four principle roles after 2004 – being a voice
for developing countries; being a regional leader; being an
advocate for democratic and human rights; and being a
bridge-builder. These roles, however, were by no means stable, and
were constantly being negotiated and contested. Karim analyses the
contested nature of Indonesian foreign policy, and the limits this
places on consistency in enacting these roles. He highlights two
drivers for such limitations – conflicting role conceptions, and
state fragmentation. He develops this argument based on four case
studies of Indonesia’s engagement in human rights governance and
trade governance at both regional and global levels. Essential
reading for students and scholars of Indonesia’s foreign policy,
that will also be of substantial value to those studying policy in
Southeast Asia more broadly.
