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

The implementation of decentralization in developing countries follows the democratization. However, several decentralized systems implemented by each country have different authorities, impacting the role of regional governments in carrying out international cooperation. This study adopted a qualitative method with a comparative study approach, completed by interviews, serving as a comparative instrument used to measure the authority of the local government in implementing foreign cooperation between Ulsan City, South Korea, and Makassar, Indonesia. The conceptual framework of decentralization was utilized to determine the extent of authority held by local governments. The intensity of cooperation was deployed to identify the local government’s foreign cooperation authority. A comparison between the cities of Ulsan and Makassar, based on their constitutions, uncovered the greater authority of local governments in South Korea compared to that of city governments in Indonesia. The intensity of foreign cooperation between both city also differed. Ulsan City had a higher number of foreign corporations than Makassar City. Hence, the wider the local government’s authority, the higher the intensity of foreign cooperation carried out.
