Journal of Paradiplomacy and City Networks
ISSN : 28305922     EISSN : 28305914     DOI : https://doi.org/10.18196/jpcn
Core Subject : Social,
The core of the journal focuses on Paradiplomacy and City Networks which revolves around international cooperation by the regional government, and actorness such as mayors, local legislators, governors, and other sub-national elected officials who have traditionally engaged in international activities for their trade promotion, investment, and economic development through city-to-city exchanges, business study groups, international exchange and capacity building for local bureaucrats, youth exchanges for the benefit of their local communities. Paradiplomacy activities may also include international organizations as interlocutors of the policy processes propelled by local public action. But unlike other data sources, the Journal of Paradiplomacy and City Networks ensures that unbiased and uninfluenced research is promoted with a vision to contribute to the peace and stability of the international society. We believe that the blatant truth about covert agendas of politics is the only hindrance to sustainable growth. Therefore, our focus remains on the publication of field-based knowledge to uproot the critical problems.

Abstract

Being isolated and lacking public facilities, border areas tend to be neglected. On the other hand, border areas can serve as economic and social hubs if isolation is broken through development and international cooperation. The Aruk border area in Sambas Regency was extremely underdeveloped before the construction of the Aruk Cross-border Post (PLBN). Opening the remoteness of Aruk was a challenging endeavor. However, through the local government’s efforts, Aruk has become one of the wheels of the economy in Sajingan Besar District, Sambas Regency. Using the concepts of the formal and informal roles of paradiplomacy in transborder diplomacy, this article reviews how paradiplomacy attempts to open up the isolation of Aruk for the welfare of the people at the border. This qualitative research discovered that the roles of formal and informal paradiplomacy in Sambas have significantly affected the development of the regency. Formal relationships have been held in the KK Sosek Malindo, while informal relationships have been built by personal relationships owned by regional sub-national actors. The two relations have encouraged the birth of policies supporting the border area’s development in Aruk.

Abstract

In the 1970s, under President Park Chung Hee, the Saemaul Undong Movement was established to overcome the economic issues in underdeveloped and impoverished rural areas. Saemaul Undong is based on three principles: diligence, self-help, and cooperation. The program’s success in South Korea inspired the government to promote it to other countries, especially those in need. Sumbermulyo Village was one of three villages in the Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY) selected in 2015 when an MoU on collaboration with Saemaul Undong was signed between Indonesia and South Korea. The study revealed several differences in perceptions among the various stakeholders involved in the implementation of Saemaul Undong in Sumbermulyo Village, especially concerning funding, using several indicators of a participatory approach elaborated with in-depth interviews from relevant sources. The training program designed to alter people’s worldviews was sometimes criticized for taking too long to produce desirable results. The implementation deviated from the plan as a result.

Abstract

This study investigated the Musi Banyuasin Regency Government’s role as a regional actor in international affairs. Regional governments can develop the region and affect the regional economy thanks to paradiplomacy, one of the phenomena in international relations that seeks to involve international relations actors. This research was grounded in the paradiplomacy theory proposed by Pertti Joenniemi and Alexander Sergunin. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method, aiming to provide a general overview of the subject of study by using data collected in their raw form without applying any analysis and drawing any pertinent conclusions. Primary data were collected from the Musi Banyuasin Regency Government. In contrast, secondary data came from the Musi Banyuasin Regency Government’s official website and news articles discussing the research subject. Following the findings, the Government of Musi Banyuasin Regency fulfilled its role as an international relations actor by implementing paradiplomatic methods such as promoting a positive image of the region through participation in international forums, joining international organizations, and collaborating with them.
