Abstract

Seeking to assess the current state of international broadcasters (IBs) within the framework of public diplomacy, this paper assesses the relevance of state-sponsored IBs within the contemporary public diplomacy. This paper focuses on the IBs of two neighboring countries, Indonesia and Australia, and political authorities’ dynamic support for their services. Data were obtained through desk reviews of IB policies, in-depth interviews, and online observation of the websites of Siaran Luar Negeri (SLN, Indonesia's IB) and ABC Radio Australia (RA, Australia's IB). This paper finds that both countries have continued to use IBs for their public diplomacy, yet ‘political parallelism’ determines the position and sustainability of each. SLN has had limited political support and faced a series of managerial crises, while RA has enjoyed the fruitful support of the Australian authorities and has been heavily involved in public diplomacy in the Asia–Pacific region.

国际广播公司的政治:印度尼西亚和澳大利亚的比较

为了在公共外交框架内评估国际广播公司的现状，本文评估了国家赞助的国际广播公司在当代公共外交中的相关性。本文重点关注印度尼西亚和澳大利亚这两个邻国的IB，以及政治当局对其服务的动态支持。数据是通过对IB政策的案头审查、深入采访以及对Siaran Luar Negeri（SLN，印度尼西亚的IB）和澳大利亚广播公司（RA，澳大利亚的IB）网站的在线观察获得的。本文发现，两国都继续在公共外交中使用IB，但“政治平行性”决定了两国的立场和可持续性。SLN的政治支持有限，并面临一系列管理危机，而RA得到了澳大利亚当局富有成效的支持，并积极参与亚太地区的公共外交。
