Abstract
ABSTRACTIran's ‘Look East’ policy entails more than relations with the People's Republic of China, India and the republics of Central Eurasia. Crucial to the Islamic Republic's eastward turn are recent overtures to Indonesia, which include not only diplomatic and economic initiatives but also joint military projects. Why Tehran has stepped up its efforts to align with Jakarta can be explained in terms of recent moves by the Arab Gulf states, most notably the United Arab Emirates, along with Iran's sympathy for Indonesia's long-standing commitment to non-alignment.KEYWORDS: AlignmentIranIndonesia Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsFred H. LawsonFred H. Lawson is Professor of Government Emeritus of Mills College at Northeastern University and author of Constructing International Relations in the Arab World (2006).
期刊介绍：
AJIA is the journal of the Australian Institute of International Affairs. The Institute was established in 1933 as an independent and non-political body and its purpose is to stimulate interest in and understanding of international affairs among its members and the general public. The aim of the Australian Journal of International Affairs is to publish high quality scholarly research on international political, social, economic and legal issues, especially (but not exclusively) within the Asia-Pacific region. The journal publishes research articles, refereed review essays and commentary and provocation pieces. ''Articles'' are traditional scholarly articles. ‘Review essays’ use newly published books as the basis to thematically examine current events in International Relations. The journal also publishes commentaries and provocations which are high quality and engaging pieces of commentary, opinion and provocation in a variety of styles. The Australian Journal of International Affairs aims to analyse international issues for an Australian readership and to present Australian perspectives to readers in other countries. While seeking to stimulate interest in and understanding of international affairs, the journal does not seek to promote any particular policies or approaches. All suitable manuscripts submitted are sent to two referees in a full ''double blind'' refereeing process.
