- Abstract
Indonesia confronts a multitude of issues and challenges in both its terrestrial and maritime border regions on an annual basis, starting from border settlement with its nine neighboring countries, securing borders from illegal activities and other security issues, the growing discourse of global dynamic and traditional threats from other countries. To solve such problems, Indonesia needs to collaborate the efforts with other countries either through bilateral or multilateral approaches. Thus, Indonesia has utilized ASEAN as one of the defense diplomacy platforms to discuss the maritime security matters faced by Indonesia of other ASEAN members. If “ASEAN Way” (a practice of non-interference) as a unique diplomatic engagement used in ASEAN, which has been deemed to be ineffective in solving the problem in this region by outsiders, in fact, it sometimes also hinders Indonesia in some ways to gain a fast solution for its border problems, and this is believed sometimes affecting Indonesia defense diplomacy for its national interest objectives. Hence, Indonesia must undertake a recalibration of its defense diplomacy efforts to ensure the security of its borders while concurrently upholding the “ASEAN Way,” a principle unanimously endorsed by all ASEAN member states.
