Abstract

Although the literature on the rising power phenomenon has been widely studied, Indonesia is rarely
used as a case study. There have not been literature that explicitly discuss Indonesia’s strategy to become a 21st
century global power. Existing literature on Indonesia’s foreign policy are merely descriptive. This paper aims
to analyze Indonesia’s strategy to become an influential global power in the international politics in 2045. Using
the concept of middle power diplomacy, this paper argues that Indonesia’s strategy to become an influential
global power in international politics in 2045 can be pursued by increasing the role of leadership or “middle
powermanship.” This role demands a strong commitment to multilateralism and the resolution of global
problems. This commitment will improve Indonesia’s international reputation so that in turn it will create a
“manager of crisis” label that can enhance international trust to Indonesia. If balanced with economic and
military power, this middle power diplomacy can become a “bridge” for Indonesia to achieve status as a major
power.
