Strategi Pertahanan Indonesia Di Kawasan Asia Tenggara
Main Article Content
Abstract
Maintaining national defense is crucial for ensuring a state’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the security of its population. As a pivotal figure in Southeast Asia, Indonesia is compelled to formulate a strategic defense policy that is robust and adaptable to changing regional circumstances. This study aims to examine the Southeast Asian geopolitical context within Indonesia’s defense strategy, focusing on efforts to maintain sovereignty and regional stability in the region without resorting to direct military confrontation. This study employed qualitative research, utilizing observation and literature review as primary data collection methods. Results indicate that Indonesia’s defense strategy employs a variant of smart power, characterized by a blend of military modernization and the forging of strategic alliances, institutional strengthening, and regional cooperation. This multidimensional approach improves Indonesia’s defense posture while advancing diplomatic engagement and trust-building with other states in the region. As a result, the study asserts that the smart power approach strengthens national defense capabilities and improves the prospects for regional peace and security.
