Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Polewali Mandar International Folk and Art Festival (PIFAF) event based on International Relations perspectives as a culture diplomacy designed by government of Polewali Mandar Regency (Youth, Sports and Tourism Office) in international level. The study used qualitative research methods through primary and secondary data through three methods: interviews; document-based research; and internet-literature research. The Data used between year 2016-2018. The results showed that PIFAF's effective soft power for the Polewali Mandar District Government introduced and preserved the cultural arts of the Mandar tradition and at the same time as a promotion or cultural diplomacy in attracting local and foreign tourists to Polewali Mandar. The PIFAF implementation shows the interaction between multi actors who cross national boundaries and are able to produce a multipplier effect for all parties, both in the form of culture/art values and commercial values. At present, the PIFAF is included in the 100 wonderfull Indonesia Calendar of Events and list of festivals CIOFF.
