Indonesia’s Foreign and Maritime Policies Under Joko Widodo: Domestic and External Determinants
This special issue aims to explain Indonesia’s maritime and foreign policies, under President Joko ‘Jokowi’ Widodo, by looking at the intersection between domestic politics and systemic pressure. The extent to which domestic politics shape Indonesia’s foreign policy has always been an interesting topic. While numerous major scholarly works on Indonesia’s foreign policy have underlined this, most of them are empirically rich, but they lack an adequate theoretical framework. This special issue uses neoclassical realism as a theoretical framework to explain how domestic politics interplay with external stimuli in the formulation of Indonesia’s foreign policy.
