ANALISIS DIPLOMASI PERTAHANAN INDONESIA DENGAN TURKI TERKAIT DENGAN PENGADAAN ALUTSISTA MEDIUM TANK HARIMAU
Abstract
Indonesia has increasingly pursued defense diplomacy as a strategic instrument to advance its national defense modernization agenda. This study examines Indonesia’s partnership with Turkiye in the joint development of the Medium Tank “Harimau” as a case of techno-nationalist defense cooperation. Drawing on a neorealist perspective and Bitzinger’s techno-nationalism framework which emphasizes the pursuit of power, wealth, and prestige the research explores Indonesia’ motivations for selecting Turkiye as a defense partner. The findings suggest that this cooperation aims to reduce foreign dependency, enhance indigenous defense industrial capacity, and strengthen Indonesia’s geopolitical standing. Employing a qualitative-descriptive method, this research relies on document-based analysis of official agreements, laws, and defense policy reports. It highlights the strategic significance of the industrial collaboration between PT PINDAD and FNSS Defense Systems Turkiye. The co-production of the Harimau tank is not merely a procurement arrangement but a reflection of Indonesia’s aspiration toward self-sufficiency, technological sovereignty, and recognition as a credible regional military power.
