Abstract

This research aims to explore and identify the role of City Diplomacy in supporting Global Leadership. The argument of this thesis is that cities are global actors that are not only tasked with addressing local issues. The involvement of the City in its role of conducting city diplomacy is a form of city leadership to contribute in guarding global issues such as climate change. In this case, the involvement of Samarinda as a CRIC Pivot City in the UCLG ASPAC Programme is evidence of the city's leadership in international relations. This research uses qualitative methodology with data collection techniques of interviews, participant observation, document review. Data analysis techniques used qualitative data analysis techniques and process tracing. The result of this research is that the involvement of Samarinda City in the UCLG ASPAC CRIC programme is evidence of the importance of city involvement in international relations. This factor occurs due to economic, social, political, environmental, etc. considerations. In addition, the involvement of Samarinda City as a Pivot City is a form of commitment and leadership of the city in the global arena. In particular, Samarinda City has succeeded in becoming a city as place that prioritises and fights for the threat of climate change in Samarinda. This struggle is a form of effort to create a city that is worth living in. It then acts as an actor capable of collaborating with UCLG ASPAC to be directly involved in managing climate change issues. The leadership of Samarinda City is a tangible form of creating a sustainable city in accordance with SDGs point 11.

Abstract

The present study aims to identify and analyse the rational factors considered by France in responding to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In response, France pursued a rational foreign policy, taking into account a number of factors, both national and personal. The present study employs a qualitative research method, adopting a case study approach. The present study employs secondary data and a process of literature review. The analysis of data is a process which encompasses two fundamental techniques: data sufficiency and testing processes. This study employs a comprehensive literature review to identify discrepancies and variations with previous research. The findings of this study demonstrate that the factors considered in French foreign policy are cognitive psychology and rational calculation. These two elements were analysed and became the primary considerations for France in formulating policies to support Ukraine over Russia. This was deduced from meticulous calculations in the disciplines of economics, politics and security. The calculations demonstrated that France's foreign policy was characterised by a high degree of rationality, underscoring the substantial ramifications of the decision to abstain from providing support to Ukraine. France has the prerogative to disregard specific non-compensatory factors, even if these factors ultimately prove advantageous to France. For instance, there are economic advantages to be gained, particularly in the context of collaboration with Russia. Consequently, this research will be of particular interest to scholars in the field of foreign policy.
