Indonesian foreign policy in the Islamic direction is
often viewed from the standpoint of the religiosity of the elites and their
solidarity with the “brothers in faith”, however, the history of the
development of Indonesian statehood and the peculiarities of Indonesian
Islam show that the Islamic vector has long been identified by the elites
with the anti-colonial and anti-imperialist discourse and only at the
present stage began to acquire the features of the discourse of political
Islam.
