Abstract

In Bireuen Regency, as in many other regions of Indonesia, money politics has become a significant issue. This is evident in various corruption cases involving politicians and government officials. The repercussions include policies that often disregard public interest, instead prioritizing the agendas of specific political factions. This problem persists due to the cultural entrenchment of money politics, which has fostered public skepticism toward politics in Bireuen Regency. Consequently, systematic and comprehensive efforts are needed to combat money politics and establish an integrity-based democracy in Bireuen. The objective of this study is to outline measures that can be taken to counter money politics and build an integrity-driven political environment in Bireuen. Adopting a phenomenological approach, this research will be conducted in several phases, including preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The findings reveal that three key stakeholders play a crucial role in safeguarding democratic integrity and countering money politics in Bireuen: the government as the election organizer, regional leadership candidates, and the public. Should any of these parties engage in malpractice, it would adversely impact the image and quality of democracy in Bireuen Regency.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the opportunities for the development of Aceh province in the era of globalization. Paradiplomacy is one of the efforts that can be utilized to develop the Aceh province. Based on the Constitution Number 11 of 2006 on the Aceh government, has given Aceh province considerable authority to develop its territory, including establishing diplomatic relations with the regions others abroad through the Paradiplomacy practice. But, with this considerable authority, Aceh is still the poorest region in Sumatra and the poorest number 6 in Indonesia based on the statistics centre data (BPS) in 2019. This means that Aceh still fails to exploit its social and natural conditions for the development of its territory. In This research we used  qualitative method, by gathering previous studies through observation, interviews and data collection. Aceh could utilize the "Tsunami Disaster" to become the initial capital to practice paradiplomacy with other regions abroad. Actually Aceh also has other capital, namely as a former conflict area and also as the best coffee producer in the world. Therefore, Aceh has at least three large capitals to establish cooperation with foreign parties through the paradiplomacy practice, with the concept of sister Province, Sister City.
