Get PDFThis study aims to analyze the use of the Bangtan Sonyeondan (BTS) as an instrument of the paradiplomacy of Seoul, South Korea, in promoting the city’s tourism to the global public on economic and cultural aspects. Seoul's paradiplomacy in promoting tourism is motivated by efforts to attract global public attention and to encourage foreign tourists to make Seoul a tourist destination. For that purpose, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has collaborated with various K-pop artists, such as BTS, in its paradiplomacy practice. This study uses transgovernmentalism, foreign relations, paradiplomacy, and art as theories and qualitative research as a method by taking data directly and indirectly. Direct data are obtained from interviews with several informants, while indirect data are obtained from studies of relevant documentation and literature. This study finds that BTS becomes an instrument of Seoul's paradiplomacy in tourism promotion. The researchers also discovered that the Seoul Metropolitan Government has restructured the Seoul Tourism Organization from a public-private partnership and government-invested institution to one that can increase the city's competitiveness in tourism and Meetings, Incentive Tours, Conventions, and Exhibitions (MICE), as well as contribute to Seoul's economic development by revitalizing tourism-related industries.
Towards Bureaucratic Reform to Achieve Good Governance
Get PDFOne of the promises of change through bureaucratic reform is the implementation of great services for the benefit of society, but disparities sometimes lead to conflicts in their execution. This took place in Tasikmalaya Regency, where, on the one hand, the bureaucracy is energetically adopting bureaucratic reform as a form of self-improvement, but, on the other hand, a decline in the culture of service and weak employee integrity are obstructing the bureaucracy's growth. The goal of this essay is to determine what factors help and what factors hinder the implementation of bureaucratic reform in the Tasikmalaya Regency Government, as well as what factors contribute to less-than-ideal evaluation results. In this study, we used qualitative research techniques. Observation, notes, and interviews were all parts of the data collection process. Collecting data, reducing data, presenting data, analyzing data, triangulating data, and generating conclusions are all data analysis techniques that can be used to determine the reliability of data and arrive at the truth. According to this paper's findings, the Tasikmalaya Regency government's bureaucratic reform has not moved significantly in a more optimal direction in its quest to accomplish good governance; normative difficulties pertaining to the quality and capacity of apparatus resources persist. When it comes to making significant changes and updates to the governance system, effective governance necessitates increased dedication and a mental shift on the part of leadership and all levels of employees.
