Using a qualitative research method with a case study approach on Indonesia's membership in the United Nations (UN), ASEAN, the G20, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), this study explores how Indonesia positions itself as a key actor in the architecture of international security and cooperation. The research findings show that Indonesia adopts a multilateral diplomatic strategy based on the principle of free and active, emphasizing its role as a bridge-builder between developing and developed countries.
