context_page_description: Wawasan Nusantara or Indonesian Archipelagic Vision is the national vision of Indonesia towards their people, nation, and territory of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia; which includes its land, sea, also the air and space above it, as a unity of political, economic, social, cultural, defense and security entity. This national insight subsequently becomes the perspective or vision of the nation towards its national goals and ideals.
  Wawasan nusantara is meant to be adopted as the Indonesian geopolitics, or the geographic effect of the archipelago on regional politics and international relations, regarded from Indonesian perspective that advocates for the national interest of the Indonesian Republic. The wawasan nusantara geopolitics stance often used by Indonesian government to argue for a national maritime integrity in some issues of territorial disputes with neighbouring countries.
  Since mid 1980s the concept of wawasan nusantara has been in included in Indonesian education curriculum and taught within geography education in highschool.
context_section_description: The archipelago has a high economic potential, such as the position of the equator, a vast sea area, large tropical forests, large mining and oil products, and has a population in sufficient numbers. Therefore, implementation in economic life must be oriented to the government, agriculture and industry sectors.
  Economic development must pay attention to fairness and balance between regions. Therefore, the existence of regional autonomy can create efforts in economic justice.
  Economic development must involve people's participation, such as by providing micro credit facilities in the development of small businesses.
