HUBUNGAN LUAR NEGERI NUSA TENGGARA BARAT DENGAN MALAYSIA DALAM BIDANG PENDIDIKAN TINGGI
Abstract
This article examines the factors and reasons why NTB maintains foreign relations in the field of higher education with the Malaysian Ministry of Education. The study was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method with the concept of paradiplomacy as an analytical tool. Data collection was carried out by literature study and also interviews with related sources. The results of this study indicate that NTB is active in establishing foreign relations in the field of higher education (including with Malaysia) because it is driven by external and internal factors. External factors come from globalization and regionalization, while internal factors are influenced by decentralization and the role of regional leaders. Meanwhile, the reason for NTB to establish foreign relations with the Malaysian Ministry of Education is because Malaysia is seen to be able to assist NTB in fulfilling its pragmatic interests in the field of higher education, namely the running of a higher education scholarship program abroad (Malaysia) at low cost, high quality education, and opportunities to expand international networks. Meanwhile, the Malaysian Ministry of Education is willing to establish a relationship with NTB to increase the number of international students in Malaysia.
