Summary:

With a population of 253 million, Indonesia is the largest country in Southeast Asia, the world’s most populous Muslim-majority nation, and the world’s third largest democracy (after India and the United States). Its size, economic vibrancy, and democratic development have led many observers to consider it an emerging power, whose voice is increasingly influential on many global and regional issues. Indonesia is an active member in regional diplomatic institutions, and the de facto leader of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). It straddles important sea lanes, bordering the Strait of Malacca, one of the world’s busiest trade routes. The United States maintains close relations with Indonesia, and the bilateral relationship has broadened considerably over the past decade, with closer military and counterterror cooperation and a range of new educational, environmental, and energy initiatives. Indonesian trade and economic regulations, however, are a growing U.S. concern, and corruption remains widespread.
