This thesis analyzes the changing role of Indonesia in the bilateral relationship towards China,focusing on two presidential eras during Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono Era(SBY)from2004-2014,and Jokowi Era from2014-now.Start from explaining the past relationship of Indonesia and China in the old order Era during Soekarno until Jokowi,this thesis finds out that the relationship between the two countries is very complex since the beginning of the opening bilateral relationship in1950.The author uses the role theory by analyzing Indonesias foreign policy towards China,coding the speeches of Indonesian political elites,also analyzing the important event during the SBY and Jokowi era towards China as the representative of Indonesias attitude towards China.Besides analyzing the changing attitude of Indonesia,this thesis also tries to analyze the factors that make Indonesia changes its attitude towards China,the characteristic of the changing attitude during both eras,and the influence of Indonesias attitude toward Indonesia itself.
This thesis finds out that Indonesia changes its diplomatic attitude towards China because Indonesias self-image in every presidential era especially in SBY and Jokowi era changes.Thus,Indonesias behavior towards China is adjusted to Indonesias identity or image of Indonesia that shaped by Indonesian leader in the international arena,because in the SBY and Jokowi era,both eras have a different National role conception.This thesis also finds different characters in which SBY is more outward-looking and Jokowi is more inward-looking policy.This change is influenced by some important factors such as idiosyncratic variables in personal level,the geography of Indonesia and Indonesian public opinion in the national level,and regional stability in the regional level.The changing of Indonesian attitude toward China also brings a positive trend to Indonesia in terms of economy and infrastructure,education and tourism,and also COVID-19Vaccine cooperation.Not only the positive impact felt by Indonesia,but the closer relationship with China also brings negative impact in the Indonesian domestic politics,such as the number of hoaxes about Indonesia and China,as well as the re-emergence of anti-communism sentiment.But,it does not affect and worsen the relations between the two countries.In ASEAN-China relation,there are many achievements have been reached by both that increase the interaction between the members economically.However,this does not solve the South China Sea problem until now.
