“…In defence diplomacy, CBMs seek to avoid conflict or any escalating tension between countries (Blake, 2016; Sulaiman, 2019)Sulaiman, 2019. This is in line with the objectives of defence diplomacy in building confidence, addressing shared security interests, and changing strategic relations between countries, as well as reducing mistrust (Baldino and Carr, 2016). The MNEK has fostered people-to-people connections, where the participants are involved in cultural exchanges between their militaries and nations.…”

Defence diplomacy has gained attention in the past decades. Hence, Indonesia has also developed its defence diplomacy for achieving its strategic interests. In Indonesia’s defence diplomacy, bilateral forms have dominated the practice of joint exercises with its defence partners. However, under the Yudhoyono administration in 2014, Indonesia hosted its first multilateral joint exercise, the Multilateral Naval Exercise Komodo (MNEK), which aimed at facilitating multilateral engagement with greater international partners. This exercise was continued by the Widodo administration as a biannual event in the following years. Since this multilateral exercise has rarely been studied, this article attempts to qualitatively examine how this exercise has developed and contributed to Indonesia’s multilateral defence diplomacy. To support the analysis, this article relies on a combination of documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews, including with numerous participants of past MNEK exercises in 2014, 2016, and 2018.

“…It also elevates the burden of defence spending thus solving the "bread and butter debate" as well as presenting greater power against advancing threat. It could also be seen as part of defence diplomacy mechanism which gained popularity in the region as Australia deepened its ties with its neighboring states and outside powers as well (Carr 2015;Baldino 2016). This school saw the need to increase confidence building measures on regional defence as well as increasing interoperability to manage potential crisis (Emmers 2012;Lockyer 2015).…”

Australia’s decision to enter the AUKUS has caused some controversies among regional powers, especially noting the heightened Indo-Pacific discourse lately. But AUKUS isn’t a mere alliance against revisionist power, it has much deeper dan greater significance on Australia’s defence policies. This paper argues that AUKUS reflect the dilemmatic sub-strategic cultures within Australia’s defence policy considerations against the changing strategic environment in Indo-Pacific, the self-reliance and strategic dependence. Strategically, AUKUS presented Australia the opportunity to participate and shaping the Indo-Pacific under US-led initiative and act as technology catalysator on defence sector. Operationally, the nuclear-powered procurement under AUKUS will significantly boost Australia’s submarine fleet capability in sea denial and sea control mission as a part of larger coalition. Using strategic culture lens and studying primary and secondary documents in a qualitative work, the analysis of this paper concludes that AUKUS reflected the return and reinforced pattern of strategic dependence within Australia’s defence policy in the age of Indo-Pacific.

“…The sacred reason for executing a free and dynamic international strategy depends on the essential regulation, specifically the 1945 Constitution (Baldino & Carr, 2016). As a sacred premise, the country's public objectives are also expressed in the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution, the fourth passage concerning the standards and objectives of the country to take an interest in achieving world harmony.…”

This study aimed to obtain input and scientific evidence regarding Indonesia's foreign policy prediction after the Jokowi presidency in 2024. This study aims to understand what foreign policy will look like in the next presidential term. To discuss the topic of efforts to answer the problems of this study, this study obtained data from many reading sources such as international publications in the form of books, articles, reports, and newspapers. The collected data is then reviewed carefully, which involves a data coding system, sharp analysis, in-depth evaluation, and high interpretation so that we can conclude research answers with high validity and reality principles. Based on the data presentation and discussion, it can be concluded that Indonesia's foreign policy after Mr. Jokowi's tenure is a series of visions that describe how Indonesia interacts with foreign countries that regulate bilateral cooperation with the principle of free and active political economy.Another issue that Indonesia can predict is still being done, as stated in the country's constitution. In other words, there is no significant difference. Thus the results of this study are helpful for the parties, especially for educational use and policy making.
