Generasi muda memiliki peran penting dalam sejarah demokrasi Indonesia seperti pada masa kemerdekaan dan reformasi. Meskipun tidak terlibat langsung dalam peristiwa sejarah tersebut, tantangan demokrasi kedepan masih ada sehingga semangat generasi muda dalam memperkuat demokrasi Indonesia sangatlah penting. Untuk memperkuat semangat ini, Indonesia Youth Democracy Forum kembali hadir dengan mengusung tema “Owning the Journey of Our Democracy.”
Recently, on many occasions, the US President and EU leaders have been talking about a de-risking strategy. A strategy to diversify its economy and put an end to economic dependency. European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, introduced the term de-risking in March 2023 in describing the EU’s approach in diversifying its supply chain away from China. This de-risking strategy generally covered reducing dependencies, non-tariff measures, diversification of sources, and boosting domestic production.
Disentanglement from China’s established dominance in global supply chains, especially in critical sectors like electronics and raw materials, remains difficult. In 2022, China accounted for 70% of the world’s raw material production. China is among the US and EU’s top 3 biggest trading partners. The translation of “de-risking” itself still varied. While the EU is mainly motivated by the potential disruption in the European economy due to overdependence, the US finds itself having a more hawkish interaction with China.
Against this background, Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia is back with a Global Town Hall Series on “The US and European De-risking Strategy” to delve into the different perspectives between the Global North and Global South countries

As the world continues to grapple with the ongoing war in Ukraine, the war in Gaza, and the intense geopolitical rivalry between the U.S. and China, the US foreign policy landscape remains a dynamic and fascinating topic. Moreover, the upcoming U.S. election will have far-reaching implications for both U.S. domestic politics and globally. What are the latest updates on U.S. foreign policy? How might the upcoming U.S. election impact U.S. development and global politics? Given this background, FPCI convened an in-person public discussion titled “A Conversation with Ambassador Robert Blake: Updates on U.S. Foreign Policy and Election.”
ASEAN’s led regional mechanism would not be effective and impactful without the support of its strategic partners, including the US, China, Japan, and India. Although the strategic significance of these strategic partners are well-recognized, Southeast Asians’ perceptions on the US, China, Japan and India are often not known. In 2023, FPCI, in collaboration with the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), conducted a regional survey titled “Survey of ASEAN Peoples’ Perceptions on China, India, Japan, and the USA.” The survey successfully gathered responses from 1,722 participants spanning all ASEAN member countries, including Timor-Leste. To dive deeper into the survey’s results, FPCI convened a “Public Debrief: Survey of ASEAN Peoples’ Perceptions on China, India, Japan, and USA.” This public debriefing explored the significance of these perceptions, discussed why they matter and uncovered further geopolitical insights that may arise from the survey findings.
