Isi artikel

This article explores participation in the United Nations (UN) peacekeeping operation (PKO) as an instrument of Indonesian foreign policy. This paper will also discuss the challenges and opportunities in enhancing Indonesian participation in the UN PKO. Based on the realistic understanding that participation in peace operations may foster state’s national interests, Indonesia has not yet defined a clear direction to guide its position and attitude on this matter. Indonesian Government needs to establish a national policy that promotes the Indonesian national interests in the UN peacekeeping mission. Successful strategy is a long-term process that requires a strategic and holistic approach. To be among top ten troops contributing country in the UN PKO will be a historical journey for Indonesia in the next decades. And establishing a particular White Paper on Participation in International Peacekeeping Mission will be the first important step.
