Abstract: Argentina and Indonesia share a long history of being under Spanish colonial rule. When compared to Argentina, the influence of Spain's presence felt by Indonesia is much lighter, especially in the economic field. The objective of this essay is to examine and compare the bilateral relations maintained between Spain and Argentina compared to Spain and Indonesia in the field of economic cooperation mainly, but not limited to, the trade and investment sectors within the period of 2008-2017. The analysis of the essay will be carried out carefully and elaborated in two ways by using quantitative content analysis and Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threat (SWOT) analysis. The essay begins by providing a general overview of the profiles of Argentina and Indonesia and their economic relations with Spain and then comparing trade and investment volumes after the latest financial crisis. The results show economic bilateral relations between Indonesia and Spain is still less dynamic compared to the economic bilateral relations established between Argentina and Spain. Total trade between Argentina and Spain is still much higher compared to Indonesia and Spain. Argentina is seen as the main trade partner for Spain whereas Indonesia is only seen as a strategic partner in trade. In terms of investment, Spain is the biggest investor in Argentina whereas in Indonesia the amount of investment coming from Spain is still very small.
