First, the manifestations of Indonesia’s foreign policy and global profile have always been based on its ability to harness the country’s normative and moral voice. Second, while democratization since 1998 has allowed Indonesia [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thecardinal.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2058418&amp;post=406&amp;subd=thecardinal&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
