1 Diplomasi Pertahanan Indonesia dalam Membangun Identitas Berbeda di antara Negara- Negara di Kawasan Asia Tenggara
Abstract
norms, culture, status, and state history are able to form this identity. Every country has
a different way to understand its element, which generates different identities, policies,
and strategies between countries in the international system. The purpose of this study
is to explain the accumulation of identity-forming elements that form the identity of free
and active foreign policy in Indonesia. This research was prepared using the perspective
of Constructivism, the theory of Free and Active Politics as well as Defense Diplomacy.
This research used descriptive qualitative research methods in which the research data
was obtained through a literature review. The results of this research indicate that
Indonesia, through an understanding of the elements forming identity, has formed a free
and active foreign policy identity. Indonesia uses free and active identity to achieve
national interests and maintain its existence in the international system. With a different
political identity from Indonesia, other countries in Southeast Asia tend to cooperate
with either the United States of America or China. Through the implementation of free
and active foreign policy, Indonesia is the only neutral country in Southeast Asia which
means that Indonesia is in the middle of both superpowers.
Keywords: Political Identity; Free and Active; National Interest; Tendency; and

This statement outlines the ethical behavior expected of all parties. The parties are related and obedient in their respective positions and roles: authors, editorial board, peer reviewers, and publishers, who are involved in publishing articles in this journal.
Author
Authors create articles. Authors should read the policies that apply to their contributions and the author's guidelines. Once a submission has reached the review stage, authors are not allowed to withdraw it. The author accepts editorial decisions voluntarily.
Editorial Board
The editor consists of the chief editor and staff as a unit. Editors grade manuscripts on intellectual merit alone, regardless of the author's rank, title, skin color, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, nationality, or political philosophy. Corresponding authors, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and publishers, as appropriate, are the only parties to whom any editor and editorial staff may divulge information about manuscripts that have been submitted. The editor chooses which article to publish. When reaching a choice, the editor can consult with other editors or reviewers.
Peer Reviewers
Peer review provides an assessment of the articles submitted by the editor. The reviewer's assessment results assist the editor in editing the assessment and can also help the author improve the article through the editorial communication with the author. Any selected reviewer who believes they lack the skills necessary to evaluate a manuscript or realizes that doing so quickly is impossible should notify the editor and withdraw from the review process. The review must be carried out impartially. It would be inappropriate to criticize the author personally. Referees must clearly state their position and provide evidence to support them. Any manuscript sent to you for review should be treated with confidentiality. They cannot be discussed or shown to anyone without the editor's permission. Reviewers must indicate related published work that the author still needs to cite. Suitable quotations must support any claim that specific observations, deductions, or arguments have been recorded. Any significant overlap or resemblance between the manuscript under consideration and other published material of which the reviewer has direct knowledge must be communicated to the editor.
Publisher
