Abstract

As the 16th largest importer of arms worldwide and the leading importer in Southeast Asia, Indonesia's reliance on importing defense equipment and other defense equipment indicates a potential for its defense industry to be vulnerable if appropriate government policies are not implemented. This research aims to analyze trade defense instruments through trade remedies policies for the defense industry by using George C. Edward III's policy implementation theory, which includes aspects of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. This research method employs a qualitative description through a literature review.The findings indicate that the trade remedies policy has been effective in mitigating the adverse effects of defense equipment imports, including firearms, ammunition, submarines, and fighter aircraft. However, the policy remains to be optimized, as various challenges persist, such as the scarcity of funds, skilled labor, effective communication, and information transparency. To enhance the efficacy of trade remedies policy, the government must allocate a greater portion of its budget to research and development in the defense sector, provide training to the workforce, improve information transparency through an integrated digital platform, and collaborate with relevant agencies to develop technological innovation and strengthen domestic production capacity
