About the Book

As Indonesia's economy grows, it is increasingly being referred to as a rising middle power and there is mounting speculation that Indonesia might eventually join the ranks of Asia's great powers. Regardless of just how far Indonesia will rise, its government and the will of its people will become increasingly influential in terms of its regional leadership and the values and the norms Jakarta espouses. What are the domestic opportunities and constraints that inform Indonesia's rise and how will various domestic contexts affect Indonesia's foreign policy and the values it espouses? This volume provides a timely analysis of the key domestic and transnational opportunities and challenges associated with Indonesia's ascent. The contributors explore a range of issues including Indonesia's economic resources, political institutions, identity and independence, as well as Jakarta's regional relations, leadership and the exercise of hard and soft power. The book examines the likely directions for Indonesian foreign policy following the election of President Joko Widodo in 2014 and this collection also offers an assessment of the potential trajectory of Indonesia's future.

Review :
'Australia and Indonesia share a wide range of common interests. Working together to increase prosperity, promote political stability and advance democratic development underpins bilateral relations. This important book assesses the complexities of bilateral diplomacy as well the impact of Indonesia's rise on Australia, the region and the world.' - Greg Moriarty, Australian Ambassador to Indonesia (2010-2014) 'Not many people appreciate the size and weight of Indonesia. Its multi-ethnic society and the huge complex of traditional institutions and modern governance are even less well known. This book magnifies what Indonesia is about and what it means to the neighbouring countries and those attempting to understand Indonesia's presence in the global landscape. In the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), we have described Indonesia as the crucible on which regional cooperation, resilience and stability flourish or flounder. In this context, the collection of essays here is particularly valuable as Indonesia's power mindset is examined in a reader-friendly way with a useful bibliography on the various aspects covered by the writers.' - Ambassador Ong Keng Yong, Dean of the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (Singapore) and former Secretary General of the Association of South East Asian Nations 'The swiftness of Indonesia's economic ascent and attainment of accompanying social and political stability has been a source of significant approbation across the globe. Remarkably, however, this sixteen-chapter edited volume represents one of the first in-depth analyses of the country's economic, political and cultural transition and is the first to provide such a comprehensive analysis of the domestic and transnational considerations affecting 'Indonesia's ascent'. Moreover, nearly half of the authors are Indonesian and the volume thereby provides critical insight concerning Indonesian perceptions of Indonesia and its place in Asia and the world. Finally, this text will provide each reader with a virtual encyclopaedia of knowledge ranging from the events that followed Indonesia's declaration of independence to issues such as nation building; Islam; security fault lines; maritime issues; defence and foreign policies; regional relations; and Indonesia in ASEAN, the G20, and the United Nations. Therefore, this book will be indispensable for anyone who wants to deepen their understanding about Indonesia in general as well as how Indonesia transitioned to where it is today, the implications of this internationally, and just how high it might ascend in the future. The editors are to be commended for their ability to complete a book on such a rich mix of issues concerning Indonesia and its ascent!' - Dr Dewi Fortuna Anwar, Deputy Secretary for Political Affairs to the Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia and Research Professor for International Affairs, Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI).
