Abstract

This study aims to analyze the interaction between actors in China’s energy diplomacy in Indonesia by using state actor and non-state actors based on their national energy policy. In this paper, the author analyzes the involvement of the state actors and non-state actors, their role, as well as the interactions that are formed in the diplomatic activities, especially Chinese energy diplomacy in Indonesia in an effort to obtain energy resources. State actors are represented by government officials, while non-state actors are represented by Chinese and Indonesian state-owned energy companies. The author describes and explains the interactions of actors based on three forms of interaction in economic diplomacy by Susan Strange’s theory of diplomacy. First is diplomacy between countries or state-state diplomacy, second is diplomacy between the firm and state or state-firm diplomacy, and third is diplomacy between companies or firm-firm diplomacy. Qualitative methods are applied in this research, by taking data through literature studies. The study found that the three forms of interaction in diplomacy between state actors and non-state actors are related to each other. The connection of interactions in each diplomacy shows the political and economic relations that affect the effectiveness of energy’s agreements between countries.
