    abstract = {This study explain changes of motivation in
Japan&#146;s Official Development Assistance (ODA) to
Indonesia from the one motivated by economic interest to
the one motivated by strategic interest in defense and
security. This transformation is to some extent in line
with the international norms embedded in the giving of
aid such as human rights, democracy and human
development. It is argued that the changes are not only
influenced by domestic factors in the donor country
but also international factors in the relationship
between the donor and recipient countries. Those are
the focus of this study. Japan&#146;s position as a
developed country that has important role in
international relations, made it consequently vulnerable to
international influence in its Foreign policy, especially
those related to economic cooperation with other
countries. Furthermore, this study raises the questions of
what motivate Japan to pursue strategic purposes related
to defense security issues in its ODA policy to Indonesia.
And how Indonesia response to the strategic purposes of
Japan&#146;s ODA.}
