Global surveys indicate that massive disillusionment with economic globalisation, upheld by the liberal order, which is ignored by governments in European, Asian and Latin American countries, has paved the way for the ascent of nationalist forces. This trend is also visible in Indonesia. President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has consolidated power against opponents who exploit nationalist, populist and religious causes. On the international front, Jakarta has been actively engaged within a variety of multilateral organisations where liberal institutionalist agendas are enforced. Therefore, it is worthwhile considering the influence of internal and external environments on Jokowi’s economic policy which is getting increasingly nationalistic. This article argues that nationalist economic practices have emerged as the Jokowi government’s response to domestic and international challenges which can have an impact on its perceived legitimacy. The discussion proceeds in five steps. To begin, this article presents a comparative perspective to understand the position of Indonesia in the developing international political economic context. This is followed by an overview of the definition of economic nationalism and its connections to domestic politics and foreign relations. The third section is about the Indonesian government’s efforts to put economic nationalism into effect. The next two parts investigate how the inside and outside dynamics generate Jokowi’s inward-looking policies. The conclusion emphasises what can be learnt from the Indonesian case.

印度尼西亚政治合法性的经济民族主义

全球调查表明,欧洲、亚洲和拉丁美洲国家政府忽视的自由秩序所支持的经济全球化的巨大幻灭为民族主义力量的崛起铺平了道路。这种趋势在印度尼西亚也很明显。佐科·维多多总统(Jokowi)巩固了反对利用民族主义、民粹主义和宗教事业的反对者的权力。在国际方面,雅加达一直积极参与各种执行自由制度主义议程的多边组织。因此,值得考虑内外环境对佐科日益民族主义的经济政策的影响。本文认为,民族主义经济实践已经成为佐科政府对国内和国际挑战的回应,这可能对其合法性产生影响。讨论分五个步骤进行。首先,本文提出了一个比较的视角,以了解印度尼西亚在发展中的国际政治经济环境中的地位。随后概述了经济民族主义的定义及其与国内政治和对外关系的联系。第三部分是关于印度尼西亚政府为实现经济民族主义所做的努力。接下来的两部分调查内部和外部动态如何产生 Jokowi 的内向政策。结论强调了可以从印度尼西亚案例中学到的东西。
