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

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.

Abstract

The global palm oil industry, particularly in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, faces significant environmental scrutiny, with deforestation for oil palm plantations adversely impacting its reputation. This challenge is compounded by the European Union's regulations against products causing environmental harm, pressuring regional governments to safeguard the sustainability of local agriculture. This study examines the West Kalimantan government's collaboration with Solidaridad Indonesia, a renowned educational and cooperative agency, in transforming the local palm oil industry towards sustainability. Employing a qualitative methodology with a focus on secondary data, the research explores West Kalimantan's paradiplomatic initiatives in the global market through its partnership with Solidaridad. This collaboration is analyzed through the lenses of paradiplomacy and sustainable development goals (SDGs). The findings reveal that West Kalimantan's paradiplomacy has significantly enhanced the image of its palm oil commodities. Key strategies include educational programs for local farmers, promotion of certified palm oil standards, and alignment with SDGs. The study highlights the success of this collaborative approach in meeting the aspirations of West Kalimantan's government towards sustainable development, offering a model for other regions facing similar environmental challenges in the palm oil sector.

Abstract

This study explored the image transformation of Busan, South Korea, from an industrial hub to a globally recognized City of Film. By employing a paradiplomacy framework, the research examined how Busan utilized BIFF as both a cultural event and a strategic tool for international diplomacy, economic development, and city branding. This qualitative research focused on gathering data largely through a comprehensive evaluation of scientific literature, including books and papers relevant to the case study. The analyses delved into the evolution of the BIFF event and its significant role in rebranding Busan from a declining industrial city to the first "City of Film" in Asia, a title bestowed by UNESCO. The study highlighted how the festival had successfully stimulated local economic growth, bolstered creative industries, and facilitated cultural exchange. The result demonstrated that BIFF had been pivotal in repositioning Busan as a significant player in the international film industry and a vibrant cultural destination. In conclusion, Busan's status as Asia's "City of Film" should be sustained, and the ongoing significance of integrating cultural initiatives with wider urban development strategies should also be emphasized.

Abstract

The enactment of Law No. 23 of 2014 concerning Local Government in Indonesia has paved the way for increased international engagement by local authorities, a practice known as paradiplomacy. In this context, Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) has sought to expand its international cooperation, notably with Bukhara Province, focusing on developing the halal tourism sector. This study critically examines the process and challenges of institutionalizing paradiplomacy between NTB and Bukhara, with a particular focus on halal tourism development. However, the institutionalization of this international cooperation has encountered significant obstacles. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, this investigation analyzed a variety of primary and secondary sources to uncover the underlying factors impeding the process. The study identified several key barriers to the institutionalization of NTB-Bukhara paradiplomacy, including shifts in leadership and policy priorities within NTB's government, delays in formalizing cooperation agreements, a lack of expertise in international relations among local government officials, restrictive central government regulations, and cultural and conceptual discrepancies in the understanding of halal tourism between the two regions. Addressing these challenges requires a multifaceted approach, involving not only policy reform and capacity building at the local government level but also a deeper cultural and conceptual alignment between cooperating entities.
