Abstract

This study examines the strategic role of Indonesia's leadership in the Parliamentary Union of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (PUIC) during 2025–2026 to accelerate economic integration among Muslim-majority countries. Despite the large population and shared cultural and religious ties, intra-OIC trade remains stagnant due to regulatory fragmentation and weak legislative coordination. Drawing on neofunctionalism theories, this research highlights five key agendas proposed by Indonesia: harmonizing investment regulations, synchronizing legislative priorities, enhancing transparency in strategic projects, clustering key economic sectors, and developing joint investment packages. This article employed a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing secondary data from relevant literature on PUIC. The findings suggest that Indonesia’s leadership demonstrates how neofunctionalist spillover dynamics may apply in non-European contexts, but face institutional fragmentation challenges within the PUIC framework. Specifically, findings indicate conditional potential for transforming the PUIC into a catalyst for collective economic governance, provided that structural constraints and deep-seated policy fragmentation are effectively addressed. This condition strengthens the global economic position of the Islamic world.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigated the paradiplomatic engagement between Bandung, Indonesia, and Cuenca, Ecuador, to enhance the global recognition of Indonesian culture, with a special focus on Bandung's batik and traditional angklung music. Employing a descriptive methodology, this research drew on literature reviews, official governmental documents, and theories to underscore the nuanced dynamics of sister city collaborations in fostering cultural exchange and mutual understanding beyond conventional diplomatic channels. Findings indicated that the partnership had pioneered the creation of Ecuadorian-inspired batik designs and the international promotion of angklung and contributed to a broader dialogue on the world’s cultural preservation and innovation. However, challenges remain in achieving substantial advancements for strategic development. This study contributes to the understanding of how local governments can leverage cultural assets to strengthen international relationships, suggesting that the agreements serve as valuable platforms for cultural diplomacy and international outreach. Recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of such partnerships include a greater emphasis on measurable outcomes and reciprocal cultural exchanges.
