ЮГО-ВОСТОЧНАЯ АЗИЯ: АКТУАЛЬНЫЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ РАЗВИТИЯ, 2020, №4(49), 60-82

 
Annotation: Relations between the two countries have experienced both ups and downs throughout the history of independent Indonesia. Naturally, a fair question arose as to what scenario would develop ties between the two states after Joko Widodo came to power in 2014. This problem, first of all, was the concern of the Indonesian public, because the United States is one of the key players in the global political arena. In this article, the authors examine the key moments in relations between the two countries that have occurred in recent years, and draw conclusions about the still remaining contradictions in their joint activities.
