From Archipelago to Maritime Hub: Indonesia's Quest to Become the World's New Maritime Axis
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to analyze the impact of the Archipelagic State concept championed by Mochtar Kusumatmadjaya on Indonesia's strategic position as a maritime state. The research method uses a historical approach, domestic development policy analysis, and geopolitical analysis to explore the development of Indonesia's strategic thinking in managing its maritime jurisdiction and its role in the international maritime lane. The findings show that Indonesia's success in implementing the archipelagic state concept has expanded national maritime jurisdiction to 3.5 million km², strengthened control over 13,000 islands, and made Indonesia's straits an important economic and energy route connecting the Middle East with Africa. It concludes that optimizing maritime potential could position Indonesia as a significant global maritime hub, with implications for strategic policy formulation in the security, economic, and infrastructure sectors. The research recommends strengthening marine infrastructure and shifting the focus of development from land to sea to strengthen Indonesia's position in the global geopolitical architecture.
