Abstract

The implementation of decentralization in developing countries follows the democratization. However, several decentralized systems implemented by each country have different authorities, impacting the role of regional governments in carrying out international cooperation. This study adopted a qualitative method with a comparative study approach, completed by interviews, serving as a comparative instrument used to measure the authority of the local government in implementing foreign cooperation between Ulsan City, South Korea, and Makassar, Indonesia. The conceptual framework of decentralization was utilized to determine the extent of authority held by local governments. The intensity of cooperation was deployed to identify the local government’s foreign cooperation authority. A comparison between the cities of Ulsan and Makassar, based on their constitutions, uncovered the greater authority of local governments in South Korea compared to that of city governments in Indonesia. The intensity of foreign cooperation between both city also differed. Ulsan City had a higher number of foreign corporations than Makassar City. Hence, the wider the local government’s authority, the higher the intensity of foreign cooperation carried out.
