Studi Kebijakan Luar Negeri Presiden Prabowo Subianto: Analisis Motivasi Indonesia Untuk Bergabung Menjadi Aggota BRICS

Abstract

This study aims to analyze Indonesia's motivation to join BRICS during the administration of President Prabowo Subianto. The theory used is the decision-making theory by Graham T. Allison, specifically the rational actor model. The method used in this study is explanatory qualitative with library study data collection techniques. The results of the study indicate that Indonesia's motivation to join BRICS is inseparable from Indonesia's national interests which are examined through an analysis of national interests and costs and benefits. Some of these interests include: first, Indonesia's joining is part of Indonesia's foreign policy strategy that is independent and responsive to global dynamics. Second, Indonesia sees BRICS as a strategic platform to strengthen its position in the international arena. Third, Indonesia views joining BRICS as being able to improve and expand economic cooperation and various other fields that have been establishedwith BRICS partners such as China, India, Russia and others. Indonesia hopes to gain economic benefits, gain wider market access, and strengthen collaboration with developing countries to construct a more just and equal world order.
