Charting their own course: How Indonesians see the world
In April 2022, the Lowy Institute launched a new opinion poll on Indonesian attitudes to the world and foreign policy. The poll offers unique and fascinating insights into how the citizens of one of Asia's most important rising nations perceive their neighbours, US–China competition, the major threats facing Indonesia, and Indonesia's position in an increasingly contested world. It had been a decade since the Institute last surveyed Indonesian public opinion.
To discuss the poll and its findings, the Institute hosted an online panel chaired by Natasha Kassam, Director of the Institute's Public Opinion and Foreign Policy Program, alongside Ben Bland, Director of the Institute's Southeast Asia Program, Dr Evan Laksmana, Senior Research Fellow with the Centre on Asia and Globalisation at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in Singapore, and Dr Lina A. Alexandra, Head of the Department of International Relations at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Jakarta.
