Abstract

The relationship between Indonesia and Australia is an interesting and important subject of study in the field of international relations. In explaining the dynamics of the two countries’ relations, academics and practitioners usually refer to a theoretical approach focusing on each party’s assumed interests in both national and regional contexts. This article, however, presents an alternative style of analysis by examining and comparing the impacts of international systems on the conduct of foreign policy. Arguably, there are three models of international systems: the anarchical state-centric model, the relational polycentric model, and the combinative model. The systems influence the setting in which policymakers consider and stage actions. Therefore, they inform how conflict and cooperation between Jakarta and Canberra occur. The discussion proceeds in two parts. The first part explores the three models of international systems. The second part investigates the implications of each system for territorial issues, conflict, and cooperation.
