      abstract = {This book provides a comprehensive study of Indonesia's  contemporary foreign policy engagement with Africa,  highlighting the archipelago⁰́b9s recent reawakening to  the continent. It explores thoughts on Afro-Asian relations  in general and their future in the changing geopolitical  context. It provides a vision of Indonesia⁰́b9s foreign  policy and political situation at the highest level of  leadership. It places Indonesia in a multi-comparison  context, which helps us reconsider Indonesia today and  widens our views on Indonesia⁰́b9s needs to be better  known through new perspectives and voices able to better  convey the realities of its polity, aspirations, and  complexities. It proposes, through the study of  Indonesia⁰́b9s African endeavour, to better grasp the  contemporary Indonesian Zeitgeist and Weltanschauung. It  also analyses the political power alliance formed by  President Jokowi and former General Luhut Binsar  Pandjaitan, leading a state-led development through state  capitalism, mobilising State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs). The  Bandung Conference host aspires to project its domestic  development achievements towards Africa, focusing on Africa  for Africa and not merely as part of a sometimes-abstract  Afro-Asian discourse. Nonetheless, Afro-Asianism continues  to be mobilised to facilitate market penetration and serve  domestic interests. The book shows how Indonesia⁰́b9s  foreign policy toward Africa relates to domestic political  contestation and consolidation, political legacy and  commodity-based industrial policy, and Chinese and  ⁰́b-China in Africa⁰́b+ networks and ideational  influence, foremost among other networks of influence in  the Jokowi era. The book also underlines how  Indonesia⁰́b9s knowledge production and academic  deficiencies negatively impact its foreign policy  capabilities, notably as a potential robust alternative  partner for Africa. It will be beneficial for students,  academicians, researchers, and diplomats. Christophe  Dorigne̹-Thomson is Faculty of Political and Social  Sciences at the University of Indonesia, Indonesia.},
