Summary:According to the author, the Indonesian "cognitive prior," which combines a realist inclination towards soft balancing, a mixture of entitlement and vulnerability, as well as antiliberal, organicist, and corporatist proclivities in state-society relations, can be traced back to the Majapahit Empire (1293-1500s). [...]it provides a longue durée analysis of localization, allowing for the possibility of reversal. By introducing three additional sets of actors (press, legislature, and business) and treating them as stakeholder groups in their own right, Rüland provides a more complete account of the foreign policy debate and offers a welcome glimpse into how their positions might not only extend beyond Indonesia to other ASEAN member states, but develop a truly regional reach.
