This lecture examines Indonesia\u2019s Electric Vehicle (EV) transition through the lens of Strategic Realism. As the world\u2019s largest nickel producer, Indonesia is leveraging its \u201cNickel Shield\u201d to navigate the transactional trade paradigms of the \u201cTrump 2.0\u201d era and the intensifying US-China decoupling. The presentation will dissect Indonesia\u2019s \u201cDual-Track\u201d GVC strategy: constructing Western-compliant supply chains to meet FEOC standards while maintaining scale through Global South integration. Special emphasis will be placed on the Indonesia-Korea synergy as a vital \u201cThird Way\u201d for regional supply chain resilience. By analyzing the labor-sustainability nexus and the challenge of transshipment audits, this session provides a comprehensive overview of how Indonesia aims to become a non-aligned, high-value anchor in the Trans-Pacific green mobility corridor.
