Indonesia's G20 Leadership Navigating National Ambitions on the Global Stage

Abstract

In today's interconnected world, nations confront complex economic challenges. The G20 is a crucial forum for coordinated action, with member countries taking turns in the annual presidency. Indonesia's stewardship in 2022 was marked by a concerted focus on global econo­mic recovery and demonstrating its leadership prowess interna­tionally. This study employs qualitative research methods and national interest theory to delve into Indonesia's strategic priorities during its G20 presidency. Through a meticulous analysis of Indonesia's initiatives, it becomes evident that the presidency not only advanced the interests of the G20 as a whole but also brought significant benefits to Indonesia, the ASEAN region, and developing countries worldwide. This examina­tion underscores Indonesia's adept maneuvering and strategic engage­ment within the broader global economic landscape.
