REALISME DALAM KEPENTINGAN NASIONAL INDONESIA MELALUI FORUM KONFERENSI ASIA AFRIKA (KAA) DAN GERAKAN NON BLOK (GNB)

Abstract

Realism is an approach and paradigm that is in international relations, Realism began to be debated during World War II (World War II) because of the failure of  the League of  Nations (LBB). LBB is the brainchild of idealists who are considered to have failed to prevent war and create peace.  Realism  existed  even  before  the  paradigm  debate  which  was later called classical realism with one of its characters being Niccolo Machiavelly.   Niccolo   Maciavelly's   style   of   realism  emphasizes   that human  nature  is  egositically  and  creates  an  anarchic  world.  In  this study the research team wanted to prove that what Niccolo Machiavelly delivered  was  not  merely  increasing  military  power  merely  to  create peace, but negotiation and diplomacy methods were also instruments of the State in achieving its national interests in realism like Indonesia. The national interests of Indonesia are everything for Indonesian politicians and the existence and power of Indonesia is the goal of Indonesia's interests to avoid war. Therefore Indonesia must have played its role in the  Asian-African  Conference  and  the  Non-Aligned  Movement  at  that time as an instrument of  achieving national interests in Realism. This research   will   use   qualitative   research   methods   with   a   historical approach. The results of this study provide answers that Realism is not merely militaristic but also a role as a rational actor.
