Despite the increasing utilization and theorization of public diplomacy reseraches have focused mainly on English publications. This leaves out knowledge development on public diplomacy topics outside the mainstream language. Against this background, this research examines the state of the art of public diplomacy research in a different language. Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian Language) is selected because of Indonesia's rising prominence in multilateral engagements over the past two decades. Indonesia's potential and active participation within the global arena warrants further scrutiny of how public diplomacy terminology is positioned within Bahasa Indonesia academic literature.
