Beschrijving
Franklin B. Weinstein offers an insightful exploration of Indonesia's foreign policy, tracing its evolution from the presidency of Sukarno to that of Soeharto. By delving into historical nuances, Weinstein examines how Indonesia's diplomatic strategies have been shaped by the pressures of international dependence and internal political dynamics.
Throughout the narrative, the author outlines how Indonesia's leaders navigated the complex geopolitics of the Cold War era, balancing relationships with major powers while seeking national sovereignty. The interplay of ideology, economic aspirations, and the pursuit of self-sufficiency frames much of the discourse, providing a thorough understanding of the dilemmas faced by Indonesia's leadership.
Weinstein also highlights the significant shifts in foreign policy philosophies between the two regimes, showing how Sukarno's assertive nationalism contrasted with Soeharto's pragmatic alignment with Western powers. This analysis reveals the pivotal moments and decisions that have ultimately shaped Indonesia's current standing on the global stage.
Ultimately, the work serves as a critical resource for those interested in international relations, Southeast Asian politics, and the historical context surrounding Indonesia's attempts at self-determination amidst external pressures.
