Respon Indonesia Terhadap Kebijakan Organisasi Melanesian Spearhead Group
ABSTRACT
The protracted conflict for Free Papua has become a problem that has not been resolved until now. This separatist movement greatly disturbed Indonesian sovereignty. Indonesia is trying to solve problems safely, peacefully, and effectively, one of which is by joining the Melanesian Spearhead Group. This research discusses Indonesia's diplomatic efforts as a response to the MSG policy on the issue of an independent Papua.
To provide more specific accuracy to the results, researchers use the liberalism paradigm and diplomacy theory as a primary reference for research to clarify the effect of changes in Indonesia's status on MSG policy on the issue of an independent Papua and steps to change Indonesia's position in the MSG. The analysis was carried out by analyzing documents, books, officially published journals, news, and Twitter.
The results of the study show that the response given by Indonesia through diplomacy has caused Indonesia to have the opportunity to change Indonesia's membership status from observer to associated member, resulting in a change in policy dynamics taken by the Melanesian Spearhead Group organization due to differences in rights and obligations held in each position in the Melanesian Spearhead Group. Associate member status provides an opportunity for Indonesia to provide foreign assistance in terms of social and economic aspects, thereby weakening their movement and intervention. Disagreements and conflicts among members have caused the agenda for an independent Papua to no longer be the main agenda in MSG discussions.
Keywords: Separatism, Free Papua, International Organization, Melanesian Spearhead Group.
