Abstract

The evolving dynamics of security and geopolitics in the Asia-Pacific region have become a key factor contributing to regional instability, with the rivalry between the United States and China emerging as one of the most significant security issues in the area. In this context, the United States has pursued defense cooperation as one of its key strategic approaches in the region, with Indonesia becoming a significant partner in this effort. This study aims to analyze the national interests of the United States in enhancing defense cooperation with Indonesia, particularly following the signing of the Defence Cooperation Arrangement (DCA) in 2023, which serves as an updated foundation for bilateral defense collaboration. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through literature reviews. Neorealism serves as the theoretical framework for addressing the study’s core issues, with national interest as the primary concept. The findings show that the United States holds several key interests in the region. First, to counter China’s expansion in the area and to restore the legitimacy of U.S. influence. Second, to reaffirm the reliability of U.S. defense systems and equipment, which has implications for the defense industry and economic growth.
