Book excerpt: "The relationship between the United States and Indonesia has long underperformed its potential," writes Joshua Kurlantzick, senior fellow for Southeast Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations in this Council Special Report. "Instead of seeking unlikely goals," Kurlantzick argues, "the two nations should embrace a more transactional approach," focusing on "three discrete security goals--increasing deterrence in the South China Sea, combating militants linked to the Islamic State, and fighting piracy and other transnational crime in Southeast Asia."
