Abstract

Paradiplomacy as one of the concepts in International Relations acted by regional government plays a strategic role in terms of economic and diplomatic cooperation. Aceh, under the Helsinki Agreement 2005, has the opportunities to play this significant authority to strengthen the economic growth and investments in Aceh. However, the international network and cooperation of Aceh since the Peace Agreement seemed goes through the low efforts and minimal results. This article focuses on the obstacles of Paradiplomacy to energize the economic development of Aceh in the global competition. The research uses the qualitative method to analyse the reason behind many obstacles and the low results of Aceh's para-diplomacy. The finding confirms that the paradiplomatic problems are caused by the problem of institutionalization of paradiplomatic authority, dispute of law, and lack of soft power diplomacy instruments in managing paradiplomatic activities.
