“…Para-diplomacy, especially, in cities in Latin America is getting growing attention among scholars (Bustamante & Cañas, 2017;de Macedo et al, 2023;Fantoni & Avellaneda, 2022;Mendes & Figueira, 2017). Those studies vary in issues, such as climate (de Macedo et al, 2023), peace (Bustamante & Cañas, 2017), and international competitiveness (Mendes & Figueira, 2017).…”

“…Both studies by de Macedo et al, (2023) and Fantoni and Avellaneda (2022) suggest the importance of transnational municipal networks (TMNs) in cities' para-diplomacy. While paradiplomatic practices by cities portray roles in multilevel governance or TMNs to shape municipal and national agendas (de Macedo et al, 2023), local determinants like pro-international structures matter for their actions, such as enhancing international projects and projecting participation in international networks (Fantoni & Avellaneda, 2022).…”

Para-diplomacy has been the agenda of many mega-cities through which they can express their capacity as well as creativity to pursue specific interests beyond borders. To cities, para-diplomacy can be conducted in many forms starting from merely ceremonial activities to the transnational municipal networks (TMNs). The city's active engagement in global forums which mostly belong to the TMNs’ agenda is often associated with the regional leader’s international visibility in global conversations. This paper aims to explain the determinant driving the regional leader’s international visibility within para-diplomacy practice, choosing Jakarta as a case study. This research applied the qualitative method and constructivist approach to investigate the role of ideational factors. The research found that the idea of a global city embraced by the regional leader – constructing the city’s identity and interests – encouraged the leader to be active in global forums. The city’s international visibility which was represented by the leader paved Jakarta to be an active global city through which it would be able to promote its local development and enhance its global role in responding to borderless global issues. This paper suggests that the internal determinants like the regional leaders (governor, mayor) with certain values matter to direct city para-diplomacy whether to project its leadership or merely to prioritize its bilateral para-diplomacy.

“…O delineamento desses compromissos se constitui como um processo de governança multinível, abrangendo nações, estados e municípios. Porém, cabe especificamente aos municípios a adoção de medidas mais complexas pela sua própria vinculação ao território urbano (De Macedo et al, 2023). Assim, as estratégias indicadas pelos municípios para o âmbito das mudanças climáticas são, geralmente, reunidas e apresentadas por meio de um plano de ação climática.…”
