      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.},
