The rise of China's economy and the emergence of the AUKUS Defense Pact was responded to by ASEAN countries with various policies. Indonesia is not included in the claim state. However, Indonesia has strengthened its military power in the region since the increasing security threat in the South China Sea. This study aims to see the reorientation of Indonesia's defense diplomacy in the last decade. The issue of management and defense in border areas is closely related to the fundamental conception of the state as a sovereign, populated, and territorial entity and the interpretation or perception of the threats it faces. The defense of territorial boundaries should be understood as a permanent function, as long as the state exists. Threats that will continue to change and undergo adjustment are threat assessments that affect the number of resources and forces needed. The problem is how these resources and power are managed. Assuming the problem, whether the problem is internal or external, and whether the treatment is defensive or offensive. The study concludes that the reorientation of Indonesia's defense diplomacy has changed from a peaceful settlement with a legal approach to strengthening local economies and military units in border areas in the South China Sea. |
