[ABSTRAK
Tesis ini menganalisis sikap Indonesia terhadap kebangkitan Tiongkoksebagai super power dari perspektif hedging. Menurut teori hedging, kebangkitanTiongkok sebagai super power bukan semata-mata sebagai ancaman, melainkansebagai peluang untuk dikelola secara bilateral dan multilateral menggunakan tigapendekatan yaitu dengan strategi engagement, enmeshing, dan soft balancing.Indonesia menggunakan strategi hedging dengan dasar pemikiran bahwastrategi hedging menjadi strategi yang paling ideal untuk digunakan olehIndonesia karena masih sangat singkon dengan prinsip politik luar negeri bebasaktif, sekaligus sebagai sebuah strategi yang dapat mengakomodasi kebutuhanobjektif Indonesia sebagai negara yang juga sedang bangkit.Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa Indonesia menggunakan Strategihedging dengan tujuan untuk memperoleh keuntungan ekonomi, politik danmiliter dari Tiongkok yang bangkit sebagai super power, tetapi juga untukmenciptakan keseimbangan yang ideal di kawasan, sehingga Indonesia tidakdidominasi oleh kekuatan manapun baik dari Amerika Serikat ataupun dariTiongkok. Strategi ini digunakan oleh Indonesia dengan maksud untukmeningkatkan posisi tawar (bargaining position) Indonesia di mata Tiongkok dandi kancah politik dunia internasional.
