Jokowi’s Foreign Policy and Australia-Indonesia Relations

Venue: Yasuko Hiraoka Myer Room, Level 1, Sidney Myer Asia Centre

Presenters: Dr Evi Fitriani

Joko ‘Jokowi’ Widodo’s contrasting approach to foreign policy compared to his predecessor Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono stands to reshape Australia-Indonesia ties. The bilateral relationship developed robustly under Yudhoyono, considered by many to be a great friend of Australia. But within Indonesia Yudhoyono incurred criticism as too concerned with Indonesia’s international image, at the expense of taking decisive action against Australia when it transgressed the bounds of friendly behaviour.

In this public lecture, Dr Evi Fitriani will chart President Jokowi’s distinct approach to foreign policy compared to Yudhoyono and outline the implications for Indonesia’s relationship with Australia.

Light refreshments will be served prior to the commencement of the lecture at 6pm. The lecture will be live-streamed via the Indonesia At Melbourne blog (http://indonesiaatmelbourne.unimelb.edu.au/).
