Abstract

Indonesia's foreign policy under the administration of President SBY in the first period showed a positive direction. This change is shown by the more active Indonesia in contributing various ideas in international fora and in relation to interactions with other countries. The policy regarding sending peacekeeping missions under the umbrella of the United Nations has been in the spotlight along with the vision of President SBY to make Indonesia a Top Ten Troops Contribution Country. This policy certainly cannot be separated from input in both external and internal contexts, therefore this study analyzes the foreign policy determinants of President SBY related to increasing Indonesia's contribution to the UN peacekeeping mission using the theory proposed by James Rossenau. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach to collect primary data in the form of interviews and literature studies related to the determinants of Indonesia's foreign policy. Based on the research conducted, it is found that there are several factors that determine Indonesia's foreign policy related to increasing contributions to the UN peacekeeping mission during the 2004-2009 period of President SBY's administration as described by Rossenau, namely; systemic factors related to Indonesia's interaction with its international environment, government bureaucratic factors related to the encouragement and aspirations of stakeholders, in this case the democratic party as the ruling party, the TNI elite, and strategic industries and finally the ideosyncretic factors that are the most dominant in determining The foreign policy is related to the personal experience of President SBY, who served as head of military supervisor while he was still an active member of the TNI. Meanwhile, societal/community factors are not a determinant in the formulation of policies related to increasing Indonesia's contribution to the UN peacekeeping mission in the era of President SBY's administration for the 2009-2014 period.
