India and Indonesia: Can They Pull It Off?

India and Indonesia, the juggernaut democracies of South and Southeast Asia, both ended 2024 with new governments that hold new ambitions. How will this pan out in the year to come? We talked about this with Dewi Fortuna Anwar, one of Indonesia’s foremost foreign policy experts; and Garima Mohan, Senior Fellow in the Indo-Pacific Program at the German Marshall Fund. The conversation is moderated by James Crabtree, 2024 TOY Senior Fellow at Asia Society Switzerland, and was recorded at the third edition of our STATE OF ASIA conference, held last November in Zurich.

11:20 Dewi is usually precise with her analysis, but here she's being dramatic and plain wrong. Prabowo's platform during 2014 and 2019 were against foreign dominating national economy but that referred to mostly western power due to the exploitation of western companies since suharto era (freeport, caltex, BP, rio tinto, etc) while China's presence in indonesia in 2014 was relatively small, and further this was because his constituents at the time were mostly the islamist and the nationalist whereas his opponent Jokowi had constituents mostly the pluralist and pro democratic groups. in 2024 Prabowo's tactic was different because the constituents were also different as Prabowo's riding Jokowi's popularity and his constituents rather than the islamist and nationalists. It's purely election politics, Prabowo is neither anti China nor anti West.
