Abstrak Indo-Pasifik ialah konsep geografi yang meliputi kawasan Lautan Hindi dan Lautan Pasifik. Kawasan yang luas di rantau Indo-Pasifik dan ramai pelakon yang terlibat telah menyebabkan peningkatan ketegangan di rantau itu. Indonesia yang mempunyai kedudukan strategik memainkan peranan aktif dalam diplomasi di kawasan Indo-Pasifik. Ini diperkukuhkan lagi dengan kedudukan Indonesia sebagai pengerusi ASEAN, di mana Indonesia semakin agresif menjalankan diplomasi dalam dua cara: secara tradisional dan digital. Artikel ini akan membincangkan strategi Indonesia untuk mengekalkan kestabilan kawasan Indo-Pasifik dalam tiga aspek iaitu kerjasama ekonomi, keselamatan serantau dan kestabilan politik. Penyelidikan ini bertujuan untuk menerangkan bagaimana strategi diplomasi digital Indonesia mengekalkan kestabilan wilayah Indo-Pasifik menggunakan kaedah kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan analitikal daripada akaun Twitter @Kemlu_RI sejak 2021-2023 menggunakan ciri NCapture, kemudian diproses menggunakan NVivo 12 Plus permohonan. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa diplomasi digital Indonesia memberi tumpuan kepada isu keselamatan berdasarkan banyak tweet yang mengutamakan realisasi keamanan dan kestabilan serantau, yang secara dominan dibincangkan di akaun Twitter @Kemlu_RI. Penyelidikan ini perlu dijalankan kerana Indo-Pasifik adalah wilayah ekonomi yang paling pesat berkembang di dunia, dan penyelidikan mengenai Indo Pasifik yang dianalisis menggunakan aplikasi Nvivo masih jarang berlaku.
Abstract The Indo-Pacific is a geographical concept that covers the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean regions. The large area of the Indo-Pacific region and the many actors involved have led to increased tensions in the region. Indonesia, which has a strategic position, plays an active role in diplomacy in the Indo-Pacific region. This is further strengthened by Indonesia's position as chair of ASEAN, where Indonesia is increasingly aggressively conducting diplomacy in two ways: traditionally and digitally. This article will discuss Indonesia's strategy for maintaining the stability of the Indo-Pacific region in three aspects, namely economic cooperation, regional security, and political stability. This research aims to describe how Indonesia's digital diplomacy strategy maintains the stability of the Indo-Pacific region using a descriptive qualitative method with an analytical approach from the @Kemlu_RI Twitter account since 2021-2023 using the NCapture feature, then processed using the NVivo 12 Plus application. The result of this research shows that Indonesia's digital diplomacy focuses on security issues based on many tweets that prioritize the realization of regional peace and stability, which are dominantly discussed on the @Kemlu_RI Twitter account. This research should be conducted because the Indo-Pacific is the fastest-growing economic region in the world, and research on the Indo-Pacific analyzed using the Nvivo application is still rare.
