The seminar was delivered by Professor Donald Weatherbee, ISEAS Visiting Professorial Fellow, Regional Strategic and Political Studies on Tuesday, 5 April 2016.
He assessed Jokowi’s road to the presidency by talking about how expectations were relatively low, the differences between Jokowi and Prabowo and former President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on their foreign policy agenda and outlook.
Despite the handful of foreign policy puzzles contained in Indonesian foreign policy, Prof Weatherbee believes that, on the whole under Jokowi, Indonesia continues to be a responsible, cooperative international partner, sharing interests in the economic growth and promoting regional peace and security.
