By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: 2020Subject(s): Online resources: In: Maritime Affairs Journal of the National Maritime Foundation of India :Summary: This article will try to examine Indonesia's approach towards territorial disputes under Jokowi's administration, by asking two questions: (1) Is Indonesia's approach towards territorial disputes more institutionalist or realist? (2) If both apply, to what extent has Indonesia become institutionalist or realist? By using a constructivist approach, this article argues that Indonesia embraces two identities that function hierarchically. Indonesia identifies itself first as a maritime nation, and second as a regional leader. When it comes to settling sea territorial disputes, Indonesia's geopolitical behaviour has always been shadowed by the maritime nation identity.
