| Summary: | This study investigates domestic sources of Indonesia’s foreign policy under three
democratically elected presidents: Abdurrahman Wahid (1999-2001), Megawati
Sukarnoputri (2001-2004) and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (2004-2009). The study
uses documentary analytical method of data collection. The study suggests that postSuharto administrations promoted preservation of Indonesia’s territorial integrity and
attempted to get financial assistance needed for development of the country. The study
has also found out that foreign policy making has become an object of intense debate
between the executive, the presidential council, the bureaucracy, the parliament and
the public at large. Hence, the traditional role of the military in foreign policy making
has declined. However, the degree of influence of these sources of foreign policy is
dependent on the nature of the issue and the personalities heading these institutions.
The study, among others, recommends that the democratization of Indonesian society
should continue unabated as Indonesian democracy has yet to become mature. |
