Indonesia's World Maritime Axis Strategy in IORA: The Rational Actor Model

Indonesia as a country located between two oceans, the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, needs to make various maritime diplomacy efforts to improve and protect marine resources and introduce Indonesia's maritime power to the international community. One of the efforts made by Indonesia is by joining the regional organization, IORA. The Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) is the pioneer and only regional organization in the Indian Ocean region. The Indian Ocean is a strategic water area, especially for the world economy. The Indian Ocean serves as a hub for international trade routes that stretch from Asia to Europe and vice versa.
