Understanding Australia-Indonesia relations in the post-authoritarian era: resilience and respect/ Greta Nabbs-Keller

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: 2020Subject(s): Online resources: In: Australian Journal of International Affairs: Vol.74 Issue 5, October 2020, pp.532-556(36)Summary: The article examines two key variables shaping Australia-Indonesia relations in the post-authoritarian era-resilience and respect. A perceived lack of consultation by successive Australian Governments on policy announcements of vital national concern to Indonesia has been a catalyst for repeated bilateral tensions in the post-authoritarian era. The article concludes that in spite of periodic bilateral tensions, Indonesia-Australia relations have remained surprisingly resilient. Such resilience is based on an appreciation by foreign policy elites in both states about the relationship's utility for maintaining stability and prosperity in a transitional Indo-Pacific order.
