Abstract

This study examines the interaction of foreign policy, principles, and agreements from the Vienna Conventions. This paper explores the difficulties non-state diplomatic actors encounter when interacting with conventional, state-centered diplomatic. This study identifies key areas where non-state actors have contributed to cultural, educational, and economic exchanges between Egypt and Indonesia using qualitative research, including interviews with diplomats, government officials, and non-state actor representatives, as well as document analysis. The findings underscore the growing importance of non-state diplomacy, notably in academic collaboration and trade ties. However, obstacles develop because of a lack of coordination between state and non-state initiatives, competing agendas, and worries about state sovereignty, particularly when non-state actors pursue aims that may not be consistent with official foreign policy. This research seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the changing nature of international diplomacy by evaluating individual case studies and the problems faced by non-state actors. It will look at how classic diplomatic norms like sovereignty, reciprocity, and negotiation are being tested and altered in response to rising non-state actor activity. The study will also address the consequences of non-state actor involvement in Egypt-Indonesia’s bilateral relationship. The study concludes by offering techniques for incorporating non-state actors into state-led diplomatic endeavors, highlighting the potential for collaborative diplomacy that capitalizes on the capabilities of both sectors. This study contributes to a better understanding of how non-state diplomatic actors engage with traditional diplomacy in the Global South, utilizing Egypt-Indonesia as a case study.
