Rivalry between superpowers today is no longer based on ideology but on a more complex combination of military, economic, technological, and diplomatic capabilities. However, the global economic crisis in the 1990s, which was initially expected to rebuild multilateral collaboration, has created obstacles to a more effective cooperation. Minilateralism has now emerged as an alternative for solid and closer cooperation among countries in the sense of more rational, realistic, and effective ones. As a middle power (MP), Indonesia has begun to thoroughly examine the minilateralism model in its foreign policy. However, its implementation will not be smooth, due to the fact that a lot of middle power countries are dependent on the superpowers. In this global order, as a persistent non-aligned country, Indonesia is striving hard to employ minilateralism as a creative alignment in its future endeavors.
