KERJASAMA INDONESIA-JAPAN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AGENCY (JICA) DALAM PEMBANGUNAN PROYEK VESSEL TRAFFIC SERVICE DI INDONESIA
This study analyzes Japan’s counter-hegemony strategy against China’s dominance through the Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) Project in the Malacca Strait. The geopolitical dynamics in Southeast Asia, particularly with the emergence of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), have driven Japan to adopt strategic measures in safeguarding its maritime interests. This research argues that the VTS Project shifted its motive from a focus on maritime security in Phase I (2009–2013) to a political instrument for balancing China’s influence in Phase II (2014–2016). Using the conceptual framework of counter-hegemony, the analysis is conducted through three main dimensions: Counter-Authority, Counter-Leadership, and Counter-Power. The findings indicate that the VTS Project serves as an effective case study of how a state can rely on soft power to challenge dominance. Through a collaborative and capability-based approach, Japan has been able to construct authority, leadership, and power that function as a counterbalance to China’s hegemony without resorting to direct confrontation. Keywords: Counter-hegemony, Japan, China, Vessel Traffic Service (VTS), Malacca Strait, Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
