Cooperation between Indonesia and Singapore has been established since 1967. The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on both countries. Singapore, which is directly adjacent to Batam City, one of the regions in the Riau Islands, Indonesia, was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Almost all countries carried out various policies limiting mobility from tourists to trade. This pandemic provided new opportunities for Singapore-Indonesia, especially in Batam City, by creating a new collaboration. The strategy to increase cooperation between the two countries in tourism to investment and development is called “Three Bridges,” which consists of travel bubble bridges, infrastructure bridges, and digital bridges. The “Three Bridges” development strategy, to increase cooperation when COVID-19 hit the situation between the two countries, is a multidimensional program in the future. Singapore and Batam City have proximity in the border area of various sectors of cooperation. Thus, this pandemic can increase diplomatic cooperation between Indonesia and Singapore, which is a country that is directly adjacent and assisted by stakeholders between the two countries.

Abstract

This study examines the paradiplomacy capacity of the Kepulauan Riau Provincial Government in optimizing regional economic connectivity. In the context of globalization and regional integration, paradiplomacy has become a crucial instrument for subnational governments to expand cross-border cooperation and enhance economic competitiveness. The main issue addressed concerns the extent to which the institutional, regulatory, and resource capacities of the Riau Islands Government are able to support subregional economic diplomacy within the framework of the Indonesia–Malaysia–Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT). This research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, utilizing policy document analysis, in-depth interviews, and secondary data from relevant institutions. The findings indicate that paradiplomacy practices in the Riau Islands have significantly contributed to increasing foreign investment, exports, and strengthening cross-border logistics networks. Furthermore, collaboration among local governments and the private sector has fostered the development of halal tourism, the creative economy, and the digitalization of regional connectivity. However, challenges remain, particularly in legal harmonization and inter-agency coordination. This study concludes that enhancing institutional capacity and human resources is essential for the success of subnational paradiplomacy in strengthening regional economic connectivity and achieving inclusive and sustainable growth.

Abstract

The cultural wealth of Indonesia, particularly from border regions such as the Kepulauan Riau, is increasingly threatened by external claims and lack of international recognition. One prominent case involves Penyengat Island, a significant historical and cultural site in Tanjungpinang, rich in Malay heritage and once a center of the Riau-Lingga Sultanate. Recognizing the island’s cultural and historical value, the Government of Kepulauan Riau Province has initiated efforts to nominate Penyengat Island as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. This study aims to examine the paradiplomatic strategies employed by the local government in this international cultural diplomacy effort. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research collects data through interviews with key officials from the Tanjungpinang Department of Culture and Tourism, field observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that the local government has undertaken significant initiatives, including the revitalization of historical sites, the preparation of comprehensive documentation and cultural dossiers, and the lobbying of national institutions to support the nomination. The concept of paradiplomacy where sub-national governments engage in international relations proves central to these efforts. While challenges such as limited administrative authority and bureaucratic hurdles persist, the strategic collaboration with the central government and UNESCO-aligned bodies demonstrates the growing agency of local governments in global cultural advocacy. The study concludes that effective paradiplomacy can serve as a critical tool for promoting local heritage on the world stage, emphasizing the need for sustained intergovernmental cooperation and cultural diplomacy frameworks.

Abstract

This study examines the paradiplomacy of the Riau Islands Provincial Government with Johor Bahru through the Malaysia–Indonesia Socio-Economic Cooperation (Sosek Malindo) in the Jiran Istimewa (JIWA) Program. The study aims to understand how the cooperation is implemented, including the roles of actors, coordination patterns, outcomes, and supporting and inhibiting factors. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, documentation, and literature study, with informants selected purposively from the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in Johor Bahru, the Riau Islands Regional Border Management Agency, and the Riau Islands Tourism Office. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that JIWA represents a form of subnational paradiplomacy that emerged through a bottom-up and collaborative initiative. The program was formulated in 2024, discussed in the Sosek Malindo forum in 2025, and launched in Batam on 17 May 2025. Its implementation includes digital tourism promotion, special offers for residents of the Riau Islands and Johor, participation of local businesses, and strengthening socio-economic interaction across the border. The program involved 120 tenants, consisting of 84 in the Riau Islands and 36 in Johor. However, implementation is constrained by regulatory and jurisdictional limitations, coordination challenges, and the absence of a clear roadmap and shared performance indicators. The study implies that sustainable paradiplomacy requires stronger coordination, clearer institutional arrangements, and measurable long-term planning.
