Abstract

In 2010, President SBY stated that Indonesia's foreign policy is "million friends zero enemy". This policy is meant to become a substitute for Indonesian foreign policy that has been used since the reign of President Soekarno, which is "freely active". Through this new policy put forward by President SBY, Indonesia's cultural role and identity can be seen as a country that befriends anyone and avoids enemy ownership. Since a country's foreign policy can reflect a country's culture and identity, it aims to look at the reasons, relationships, and roles of culture and national identity in shaping the policy through the level of analysis. In analyzing this policy, five variables were used to conceptualize national culture and identity, namely national self-image, religion, ideology, strategic culture, and national role conception in the international system. The purpose of this paper is to see whether the level of cultural analysis and national identity is the right level of analysis to explain the reason for the establishment of the "zero enemy enemy" policy.
