ABSTRACT IJEPA is the first complex bilateral economic partnership for Indonesia. It began to be implemented (entry to force) in 1st July 2008 after long and exhausting sessions of negotiation since 2005. IJEPA consist of not merely free trade agreement but also many other things like facilitation/investation and cooperation. For Indonesia, IJEPA is very important especially it is not only used as a way to penetrate Japanese's market but also as a way to improve Indonesia's manufacturing industries overall. The later means is implemented through MIDEC based on cooperation pillar of IJEPA. This paper examines the implementation of MIDEC IJEPA and the obstacles that hamper the implementation which lead to a loss for Indonesia in 2013. This paper explains that IJEPA is merely a tactic of economic diplomacy and MIDEC is a sucessfull result of issue linkage from Japan as the Linker and Indonesia as the Linkee.
