Abstract

In the beginning of 2000s, Australia began to impose the rejection of asylum-seekers policy because their number is constantly increasing. From all the policies that have been applied, Tony Abbott’s policy, which is “Turn Back the Boats” policy, became one of the policies that being discussed by many actors because before the policy is being applied, Australia has always been accepting many asylum-seekers, but it suddenly changed. One of the reason that the policy is being implemented is that Australian society feel threatened by the arrival of the asylum-seekers. Related with the policy, the author tries to analyze the implementation of the “Turn Back the Boats” policy using the national identity level of analysis. In this case, the author will some of the concepts of the national identity to explain it, which is the basic concept of national identity, the concept of national  self-image,  the  concept  of  strategic culture,  and  the  concept  of national  role. The author thinks that those concept could explain why the national identity can influence the “Turn Back the Boats” policy.
