Using the frameworks of foreign policy
analysis and political culture, this book provides an insightful and analytical
explanation of Indonesia’s foreign policy under Suharto. It examines the
various factors which have contributed to Suharto’s foreign policy, the
goals of this policy, and the means of achieving them. It also discusses
Indonesia’s relations with ASEAN countries and beyond, identifying their
problems and prospects. As Suharto had played a crucial role in directing the
policy, special attention was focused on him. Despite many differences from the
Sukarno era, Indonesia’s aspiration to international leadership under
Suharto remains constant. This is the most up-to-date book dealing with
Indonesia’s foreign policy under Suharto.
"[W]hat this
comprehensive and up-to-date book does is to redirect attention to many of the
enduring factors ... of Indonesian foreign policy-making."
