Abstract

Paradiplomacy is an important strategy in the context of regional autonomy that allows local governments to build international cooperation to support local development. This article discusses how paradiplomacy becomes a means of reactualizing the authority of local governments within the framework of national policies, and how these activities have an impact on the effectiveness of local development while maintaining state sovereignty. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method, and highlights the practices of Surabaya City Government as a case study. Data was obtained from official documents, academic publications, international cooperation reports, and government regulations. The results of the study show that Surabaya actively cooperates abroad through sister city schemes with various world cities, producing benefits in the fields of education, environment, creative economy, and strengthening human resource capacity. However, the effectiveness of paradiplomacy is highly dependent on synergy with the central government and compliance with national regulations governing foreign affairs, as the exclusive authority of the state. The findings confirm that paradiplomacy can be a strategic local development instrument if it is managed purposefully and in strong coordination with national policies, so that it does not interfere with the principles of state sovereignty and integrity.

Abstract

This study aims to explain the electoral defeat of the Har–Guntur pair in the 2024 Jambi City local election by emphasizing the interaction between internal candidate weaknesses and the strategic advantages of their opponents. Departing from the phenomenon of high political visibility that was not fully matched by electoral participation, as well as the limited availability of candidate alternatives, this research employs a qualitative approach through the analysis of survey data, media coverage, and campaign dynamics. The findings reveal that the defeat of Har–Guntur was not caused by a single factor, but rather by an accumulation of weaknesses, including poor consolidation of the campaign team, suboptimal performance of the supporting party machinery, and political communication strategies that failed to resonate with voters’ needs. In contrast, the Maulana–Diza pair effectively leveraged their strategic advantages by offering concrete programs, strengthening a people-oriented personal image, and utilizing communication channels more effectively. A significant gap in electability had already emerged prior to election day, indicating a systematically constructed political dominance. These findings underline that in the context of local politics, electoral victory is not solely determined by structural party support, but also by a candidate’s ability to integrate political consolidation, effective communication, and relevant programmatic offerings. This study contributes to the literature on voter behavior and local electoral competition by demonstrating that electoral defeat is the result of a complex interaction of multiple reinforcing factors.
