Abstract

ABSTRACT The existing literature on Indonesia’s foreign policy has excluded the state from the category of an agent which shapes the country’s external affairs. This trend certainly ignores the notion that foreign policy is a unique state activity taking place in the interface between domestic and international politics. To fill the gap, this article explores the idea about the family state and looks at its influence on the conduct of Indonesia’s international relations. The argument is that the family state pursues order in international society in which sovereignty can be maintained. Indonesia plays the role of an order-maker in Southeast Asia through the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). The order-oriented actions are displayed by Jakarta’s diplomacy to resolve border disputes with neighbouring countries in the region.

关于印度尼西亚外交政策的现有文献已将国家排除在塑造国家对外事务的代理人类别之外。这种趋势当然忽略了这样一种观念，即外交政策是在国内政治与国际政治交界处进行的一种独特的国家活动。为了填补这一空白，本文探讨了家族国家的概念，并着眼于其对印度尼西亚国际关系行为的影响。其论点是，家庭国家追求的是能够维护主权的国际社会秩序。印度尼西亚通过东南亚国家联盟(ASEAN)在东南亚发挥着订单制造者的作用。这种秩序导向的行动是雅加达为解决与该地区邻国的边界争端而采取的外交行动。
