Indonesian Military Defence Strategy

Abstract

Although Indonesia's defence budget, which increases annually, does not rank among the largest in the world, the government should be capable of devising an effective economic strategy with that amount of money. The purpose of this study is to examine Indonesia's defence strategy through the lens of its defence economy. Utilising a descriptive approach, qualitative case study research is the method of investigation. The findings indicate that Indonesia's defence economic strategy has effectively diminished the nation's reliance on imported goods and enhanced public welfare. This research suggests that Indonesia can preserve its economic viability through the implementation of an appropriate defence strategy. The research presented herein offers novel perspectives that can be utilised by policymakers and economic practitioners to formulate efficacious defence economic strategies.
