Penelitian ini dilakukan secara kualitatif dengan studi dokumen yang berkaitan dengan strategi pertahanan Indonesia selama kurun waktu 1995 hingga 2012. Penelitian ini telah membuktikan bahwa strategi hedging yang dilakukan Indonesia merupakan upaya mengembangkan maupun lebih memperkuat hubungan kerjasama dengan China yang dipandang ancaman tersebut. Strategi hedging yang dilakukan Indonesia yaitu berupa indirect balancing di Asia Tenggara yaitu, ketika negara-negara Asia Tenggara berusaha membujuk AS sebagai pengimbang pengaruh regional China di kawasan, dan complex engagement dengan China pada level politik, ekonomi, dan strategi dengan harapan bahwa para pemimpin China dapat disosialisasikan untuk mematuhi norma-norma internasional.
