Abstract--This study aims to understand the perception and misperception of the claimant states in the South China Sea disputes and examine the opportunities for Indonesia's defense diplomacy. Using qualitative method, this study proceeds with two main parts. The first part analyzes the prospect of conflict escalation caused by the perception and misperception among the claimant states in the South China Sea disputes. The authors employ perception and misperception approach in International Relations in the analysis. The second part of the study examines the opportunities for Indonesia's defense diplomacy in reducing the misperception, mitigating the confict escalation as well as increasing mutual trust and confidence among the conflicting parties. In this second part, the authors make use of "defense diplomacy" as the conceptual tool. This study is academically and empirically significant as it contributes by giving alternative understanding on the South China Sea disputes as well as research-based and theory-informed policy recommendation.

Keywords: South China Sea, perception and misperception, defense diplomacy
