Penerapan Prinsip Politik Luar Negeri Indonesia Melalui Diplomasi Maritim [The Implementation of Indonesian Foreign Policy through Maritime Diplomacy]

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze how Indonesia explores maritime resources as an instrument of Indonesian diplomacy. Indonesia‟s diplomacy remains within the framework of Indonesia‟s foreign policy principles. Indonesia applies the principle of free and active foreign policy which it has done since the beginning of Indonesian independence. Indonesian maritime diplomacy strives to achieve a level of national interest that will allow it to become the world‟s maritime axis. To achieve this, Indonesia has joined several strategic partnerships that are concerned about and discuss maritime issues. The partnerships that Indonesia is involved in are trying to solve maritime problems. The data collection process for this paper was conducted using library research and secondary data supported by interviews with related parties. This research is very useful to understand how Indonesia carries out its foreign policy based on the principle of being free and active through diplomacy. Indonesia's cooperation in the maritime field has become a tangible form of Indonesian diplomacy.
