Abstract

ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze the development of Islamic International Relations in Indonesia developed by several International Relations departments under the auspices of Islamic Universities, which are incorporated in the INSIERA (The Indonesian Islamic Studies and International Relations Association). The development of Islamic perspectives in the study of International Relations in Indonesia occurs in an international situation that is filled with internal or international conflicts, which can be seen from the political situation in several Muslim countries, such as Sudan, Egypt, Iraq, Libya, and several other Muslim countries. It is clear evidence of how the diplomatic process of democracy did not work as it should. From this hope, the results of studies from thinkers of Islamic International Relations in Indonesia can crystallize into Islamic International Relations concept and method, as Indonesia's soft power diplomacy capital in the international sphere, as well as alternative solutions, to reduce the potential for world conflict. By using both qualitative-quantitative approaches, this research reveals that Indonesia as the largest Muslim country in the World, with the slow but sure progress of the study of Islamic International Relations, Indonesia in the future can use religious and cultural diplomacy as the main bargaining value with the strong academic basis. The development of the international world which is always changing has also changed the paradigm of diplomacy; If previously the ability of hard power was the main bargaining value in diplomacy, but soft power is a strategic medium of diplomacy between countries. Indonesia as the country with the largest Muslim population in the world has the cultural superiority and Islamic identity to then be used as the main diplomacy media. Keywords: Islamic perspective, international relations, international relations department, Islamic university, Indonesia
