The International pPresident: Prabowo Subianto Takes Charge
The inauguration of President Prabowo Subianto has evoked speculation and debate about the direction of Indonesia's foreign policy. Featuring Gary Quinlan AO, Prof Dewi Fortuna Anwar and Andrew Mantong. Moderator Don Greenlees.
About this webinar
Will Prabowo tilt away from the West, embracing China and the Global South, as geopolical rivalries intensify? What value will he place on ASEAN as a conduit to managing regional and international problems? How will he approach a sometimes bumpy relationship with Australia that in recent years has enjoyed an era of relative stability?
Prabowo is hard to predict. And he carries human rights baggage - at least in the West - from his days as a Special Forces officer and General under his late father-in-law Suharto. But he also comes to office with the greatest international experience and knowledge of any Indonesian President.
Join Former Australian Ambassador to Indonesia Gary Quinlan AO, Research Professor of at the Research Center for Politics at the Indonesia Institute of Sciences Prof Dewi Fortuna Anwar and Researcher at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies Indonesia Andrew Mantong. Asialink Senior Advisor Don Greenlees will moderate the conversation.
