Indonesia is the largest archipelago state in the world comprising
17,480 islands, with a maritime territory measuring close to 6
million square kilometres. It is located between the two key
shipping routes of the Pacific and Indian Ocean. Indonesia's
cooperation in maritime security initiatives is vitally important
because half of the world's trading goods and oil pass through
Indonesian waters, including the Straits of Malacca, the Strait of
Sunda and the Strait of Lombok. This book analyses Indonesia's
participation in international maritime security cooperation. Using
Indonesia as a case study, the book adopts mixed methods to assess
emerging power cooperation and non-cooperation drawing from various
International Relations theories and the bureaucratic politics
approach. It addresses not only the topic of Indonesia's
cooperation but also engages in debates across the International
Relations, political science and policy studies disciplines
regarding state cooperation. Based on extensive primary Indonesian
language sources and original interviews, the author offers a
conceptual discussion on the reasons underlying emerging middle
power participation or non-participation in cooperation agreements.
The analysis offers a fresh perspective on the growing problems of
maritime terrorism and sea robbery and how an emerging power deals
with these threats at unilateral, bilateral, regional and
multilateral levels. The book fills a significant gap in literature
on Indonesian foreign policy making in the post-1998 era. It
provides the first in-depth study of Indonesia's decision making
process in the area of maritime security and will thus be of
interest to researchers in the field of comparative politics,
international relations, security policy, maritime cooperation,
port and shipping businesses and Southeast Asian politics and
society.
