The purpose of this study is to analyze the strategies and constraints of Indonesia's defense policy in responding to the development of China's military base construction in the South China Sea. Data obtained through literature study and interviews with informants, then analyzed using qualitative methods. The results of this study can be concluded that Indonesia's current defense strategy has not been concretely described and the problems found in the formulation of Indonesian policies have yet to be found a solution because there are still egos and differences in interests among policy makers, the solution requires commitment from the Ministry of Defense, TNI Headquarters, and Main Command to faithfully adhere to execute all planning and road map that were prepared together.

<p>Several countries have implemented the diplomacy model using second-track diplomacy in solving various problems. With the dynamics of global, regional, and national strategic environmental conditions, the second track diplomacy model is a step that is considered to be effective and efficient in finding solutions to every problem between countries. The Indonesian Navy, which, according to Kent Booth, has one of its functions in carrying out diplomacy, has carried out several diplomatic steps. As an archipelago that has land and sea borders with ten neighboring countries, prioritizing this second track diplomacy model is necessary. The purpose of this study is to find a marine defense strategy in dealing with the potential impacts of the conflict that occurred in the South China Sea. Considering the vast territory of Indonesia's territorial sea, a method of sea defense strategies can apply this diplomacy model. This study uses a literature study by gathering various information from various sources, then the theory used in conducting discussions and analysis with the theory of Barry Buzan. This study concludes an input and recommendations for policymakers to prioritize second-track diplomacy in solving various existing problems, especially in Indonesia's sea border region with neighboring countries.</p>

The Government

This study discusses how China is trying to assert ownership claims over some areas in the South China Sea by militarizing some areas in the South China Sea. This paper will explain how the threats from the militarization of the South China Sea carried out against the maritime security of Indonesia and how the Government of Indonesia responds to these activities. This study uses a literature study method using the concept of Conventional Detterence and Security Dilemma. This research has found that there is an impact caused by militarization conducted by China in the form of many Chinese ships entering Indonesia illegally and conducting confrontational maneuvers. The Indonesian government responded to this impact by building a military base and supporting facilities aimed only at defending the region without any maneuvering that could trigger an escalation of conflict between the two countries.

<p>This thesis examines the attempts of Vietnamese policy makers to manage the dispute with China on the South China Sea within the context of Vietnam’s ASEAN Chairmanship in 2010. In particular, it examines the actions of Vietnamese policymakers in the preparing and conducting the 2010 ASEAN Defence Minister Meeting Plus and ASEAN Regional Forum. It asks whether and how Vietnamese policymakers have utilized the ASEAN chairmanship and its agenda-setting powers to put the South China Sea issue and the Chinese in the spotlight at these meetings. It argues that Vietnamese policymakers sought to constrain Chinese actions in the South China Sea by raising international publicity on the issue. The thesis considers the strategic measures taken by Vietnamese policy makers in managing the South China Sea conflict from the perspective of two schools of thought in international relations: realism and constructivism. While realists and neo-realists suggest that the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must, constructivists argue that policy makers are social actors, who are concerned with the respect of others. Constructivist approaches offer a more convincing way to explain how and why Vietnam, a weaker state might try to constrain China, a much stronger state, on issues of sovereignty in the South China Sea. Finally, the thesis concludes that, despite several failures, Vietnamese policy makers were able to make progress in managing this conflict by using international publicity to constrain the Chinese from acting unilaterally.</p>

As an arena of hegemonic war between China and the United States of America (USA), Indo-Pacific has economic value that can increase conflict in the region. This hegemonic war then cultivated rapidly, as evidenced by the expanded issue through the involvement of other countries such as France, Germany, and England. This research basically examined the actions of Indonesia as a non-claimant country in conducting defense strategy to prevent threats that can disrupt its territory, especially in the North Natuna Sea which is adjacent to the South China Sea as the main theater of this hegemonic war in Indo-Pacific. This study was analysed using qualitative method, descriptive analysis and neorealism perspective. As an effort to maintain territorial sovereignty, especially in the North Natuna Sea which is close to South China Sea, Indonesia had done several defense strategies which can be categorized as internal and external balancing. Internal balancing consists of relocation process of fishermen from North Coast of Java to Natuna, increasing trend of defense budget and particular allocation for the security of North Natuna Sea, and execution of combat exercise. External balancing includes cooperation of joint exercises and national defense industry quality improvement through transfer of technology and knowledge, joint development, as well as acquisitions.

Spratly Islands

The South China Sea conflict has involved many parties, including the Philippines. In defending one of the most strategic islands, the Spratly Islands, the Philippines has exerted its hard power by increasing its military power strategy. By engaging the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and working with the U.S., the Philippines can increase its military power. The prior studies have only explored how the dispute in SCS is caused by maritime growth, and some have found the effective way to solve the issue is from the liberal perspective. This study uses a power politics approach to the Philippines' strategy to defend the Spratly Islands and its surroundings in the South China Sea dispute. It analyzes the Philippines' interests in the Spratly islands. The research was conducted using qualitative methods through literature study, and the data were analyzed, then described to obtain a complete picture of the answers to the problems studied. This finding explores how the Philippines' defense strategy works and how it is generated. The results of this study indicate that the defense strategy in the Spratly Islands is generated by the national interests of the Philippines, especially in the economic field.

The Stability

This research tries to explain Indonesia’s effort in the South China Sea conflict resolution process. The South China Sea conflict can lead to regional instability. Indonesia can’t directly resolve the conflict because Indonesia is not a claimaint state. But, Indonesia can encourage claimant states to resolve their conflicts peacefully. As the largest country in ASEAN, Indonesia has an obligation to maintain the stability of the region. The type of this research is descriptive qualitative with data collection technique through interview and literature study. The results concluded that Indonesia's efforts in establishing the situation through confidence buiding measures and cooperation has been able to dampen the source of conflict and keep the region stable. Indonesia has managed conflict even though it is still very far from the possibility of conflict resolution.
