Bandung Geopolitics Studies is an association for international relations researchers from both academia and practitioners, which focuses on the study of current issues based on a series of historical norms that have shaped Indonesia’s foreign policy image in the international arena.

Bandung Geopolitics Studies was declared at Gedung Merdeka on June 21, 2024, in Bandung, a city that once shook the world through the holding of the Asia-Africa Conference in 1955 and successfully inspired the decolonization movement and the spirit of world peace.

Bandung Geopolitics Studies is a public participation organization that believes geopolitical changes triggered by technological disruption, the nature of the global economy, and the international system with a uni-multipolar face make it imperative for Indonesia to have the skills and agility to overcome these challenges.

Our vision is inspired by the ideals of Indonesia’s first President, Mr. Soekarno, during his speech at the 1960 United Nations General Assembly titled “To Build the World Anew .”

Our mission is to preserve and advance the spirit of the “Ten Principles of Bandung 1955” in facing today’s challenges.

Our objective is to engage in strengthening para-diplomacy initiatives aimed at advancing progress on local, national, and global scales.
