Abstract

Indonesia’s rise has led to talk of regional leadership as a middle power. This article unpacks the notion of Indonesian leadership by assessing key initiatives associated with Indonesia based on their intent and objectives, their overall effect (and effectiveness), how they were received regionally, and whether such initiatives are the best means through which Indonesia can play a leadership role furthering regional stability. It considers three recent high-profile initiatives, in particular, that are associated with Indonesia: (1) the ASEAN Security Community concept; (2) the Bali Democracy Forum; and (3) the proposal for an Indo-Pacific Treaty.

Two examples come to mind. First, in the compromise statement on the “temporary” nature of foreign bases in the region that allowed ASEAN’s founding document, the 1967 ASEAN Declaration, to be signed. Second, when Jakarta decided in 1980 to set aside its concern for China’s creeping regional influence, epitomized in its involvement in the Third Indochina War, in order to stand with regional partners Thailand and Singapore, who held the view that Soviet-sponsored Vietnamese aggression was, at the time, the primary threat to the region.
