“…Theoretical lenses of globalization and complex interdependence have been dominating the discourse on paradiplomacy since scholars have begun to scrutinize the topic. According to Kamiński (2018), several more or less consequent frameworks in which paradiplomacy studies occurred may be identified: federal studies, border studies and multi-level governance, legal studies, security studies, and environmental perspective. As Kuznetsov (2014) notices, the approaches developed in the 1970s and 1980s are still relevant for the modern studies of paradiplomacy, being primarily centered around classification of its aims, causes and kinds and employing case study as a research method (e. g. see Duchacek 1984Duchacek , 1990Kincaid 1990, Keating 1999Hocking 1999;Soldatos 1990).…”

Unlike in the 1990s and early 2000s, nowadays scholars rarely address the issue of international activity of Russian regions (phenomenon known as paradiplomacy). Due to the successful centralization efforts, Russian governors almost lost their domestic as well as external agency. However, there is still a considerable variation in the levels of their international activity which remains unexplained. Employing an original dataset on the international activity of Russian governors from 2005 to 2015 I investigate the effect local political regime, ethnicity and other factors have on the level of gubernatorial participation in paradiplomacy. Contrary to other studies I find that ethnicity has a positive effect on the external activity. I argue that paradiplomacy of republics serves as a tool of their ethnic policy. I also find that more democratic local political regimes bolster the willingness of the governors to participate in paradiplomacy. Varyag governors with no prior connections to the region are also more active internationally. JEL Classification: Z.

“…A relatively convenient way is viewing through the lenses of grand International Relations theories. Kaminski (2018) argues that three big theories of International Relations: liberal, realist, and constructivist have their takes in explaining the logic of paradiplomacy.…”

“…Rather, paradiplomacy is the continuation of the foreign policy by central governments done through their regional authorities (Kusnetzov 2014). By this definition, paradiplomacy is "just an instrument in a state's foreign policy toolbox" where the participation of the sub-national entities are subject to approval by the central governments (Kaminski 2018).…”

The purpose of this paper is to apply the paradiplomacy framework in exploring the role of NGOs in promoting the issue of marginalised peoples. More specifically, it highlights the Confederation of Independent Football Association (ConIFA), an international football governing body comprising minority peoples, stateless nations, and regions which are unrecognised by the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). The author attempts to discuss ConIFA’s ability in voicing the issue of self-determination concerning its members, which are mainly sidelined in the mainstream international affairs. This paper discusses two questions: (1) does ConIFA qualify to be regarded as a paradiplomatic actor? If yes, in what ways? and (2) to what extent does ConIFA advocate the issue of self-determination of its members? In so doing, the researcher first studies the nature of ConIFA through its own constitution as well as examining its activities through various sources. Second, the author also utilises core concepts on paradiplomacy to seek in which category does ConIFA’s activities fall into. The findings suggest that ConIFA qualifies as a paradiplomatic actor in the sense that it has two forces: horizontal and vertical. Horizontally, it platforms its members to interact with like-minded counterparts through numerous activities. Vertically, ConIFA also possesses a comparative advantage to reach a wider audience by framing the issue through sport. However, the study also indicates that while self-determination is promoted through ConIFA, the organisation does not possess enough political capacity to facilitate a deeper advocacy, thus making its paradiplomatic activities mainly fall into the cultural category.

Debates teóricos sobre la acción exterior de los gobiernos no centrales

Si bien la acción exterior de los gobiernos locales e intermedios se ha generalizado y normado a nivel mundial, persisten fuertes debates teóricos en torno a su estudio. Ello dificulta el correcto análisis comparativo y la formulación de políticas públicas en base a estudios académicos. El objetivo del artículo es revisar comprehensivamente tres de los principales debates de la literatura, con el fin de presentar al lector e investigador ciertos consensos alcanzados, en los casos en que es posible. Los debates son abordados siguiendo la metodología de revisión bibliográfica (investigación documental). Primero, se estudia cómo se debe denominar al fenómeno; segundo, cuáles son sus causas, motivos u objetivos; y, tercero, qué definición se debe adoptar. Como corolario se presenta una propuesta de definición que sintetiza el resultado de cada debate.
