The aim of this article is to briefly introduce the issue of emerging powers in the international system, and then analyze the prototype of Indonesia as a theoretical concept. The emerging powers begin to speak in connection with the transformation of the nature of the international system, especially after the Cold War. At this time, a transformation of traditional Western dominance and the system will change into a form that is often called postmodern. The global expansion of the capitalist economy works among other things as a motor to increase the economic growth of countries that played a minor role before the collapse of bipolar arrangements in the international system. Populous countries such as China, India, Indonesia, Brazil and others showing a rapid economic growth and thus become not only important trading partners of the traditional Western powers, but above all also major players in the international system. The present text will, in its first, theoretical part, present the issue of emerging powers, a distinguishing theoretical concept in connection with the issue of usage. The second part is then a case study of Indonesia as an example of an emerging power with a focus on economic and foreign political characteristics of the country. This section will also acknowledge the theoretical framework connected with empirical data. Indonesia was chosen deliberately as an example of power that does not belong to the category of BRIC(S) and is not normally subject to similar analyses. |
