Abstract:
Digital globalization has had a huge impact on the world's communications and information systems. What becomes problematic then is the misuse of the target, where the result of the wrong target can be good but can bring controversy and disadvantages. The discussion this time will talk about the national defense strategy through the younger generation by leveraging the phenomenon of digitalization through the TikTok app. The findings studied by the author then lead to the conclusion that it is a fairly efficient effort to influence political awareness in a country's society through youth diplomacy and influencers and the use of digitalization in the process. Since the problems discussed have not long occurred, the author uses descriptive methods to explain the phenomena occurring by comparing the possibilities occurring as a result of these phenomena. This paper is intended to serve as a comparative material and study of possible future phenomena related to digitization and the role of youth in the political sphere.
