Abstract

Many people believe that organizing festivals in the border area will increase the popularity of the border area and improve the socio-economic conditions of the border communities. But in the case of Sota border area, it is debatable. This paper aims to analyze the views of the community and local government about the border festival which was held by the central government in Sota, Merauke, Papua in 2016 and subsequently explored their views on what border festival should be like. To answer the question, a Focus Group Discussion was conducted with community leaders in Sota, activists in Merauke, officials from the Tourism Office, the Culture Office, the National Border Management Agency in Merauke, students and lecturers from Musamus University. They stated that the festival which had been conducted by the central government seemed in a hurry and lacked coordination with the local government. They also regretted that the festival was dominated by artists from Jakarta, while the local community was less involved. As a result, local cultural and economic potentials are not fully exposed. There are three things that should be considered to promote the border area through festivals: 1) the social, cultural and economic potential of the local community must be the main points promoted, 2) the widespread use of mass media, and 3) the strengthening of networks between the community and the local university, and local government for continual assistance

Abstract

This article intends to review the efforts of border diplomacy undertaken by Indonesia in maintaining the Indonesia-Malaysia border in Tanjung Datu, Paloh Subdistrict, Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan. Tanjung Datu is one of the Indonesia-Malaysia borders which still leaves obstacles because at the Tanjung Datu border in Camar Bula, Malaysia no longer recognizes it as part of the OBP or the Oustanding Boundary Problems. While at the Tanjung Datu border in Gosong Niger, it still leaves concern because there are some efforts made by Malaysia to change the country's borders. Both the border in Gosong Niger and in Gamar Bulan, both of which have raised issues that affect good relations between the two countries. Through a qualitative approach based on direct observation study, documentation and in-depth interviews with several parties related to Indonesian border diplomacy, this article suggests that border diplomacy conducted by Indonesia does not involve many important actors at the subnational level related to the implementation of border diplomacy. Some miscommunications and misinformation took place so that Indonesia's border diplomacy was not carried out optimally.
