This article provides an analysis of the seamless fusion between paradiplomacy and globalisation. It poses a broad conceptualisation of paradiplomacy as sub-state entities’ engagement in international relations. Inherent in this conceptualisation is the submission that a state is no longer the sole player in the field of international relations. Globalisation was underscored as a core driver of paradiplomacy. The argument therein is that, through the forces of globalisation, the role of the nation-state as the sole actor in the international arena is blurred. That is to say that through globalisation, a new form of economic competition between subnational actors other than the orthodox competition between sovereign states alone emerged. Fundamentally, the accent is that globalisation serves both as a pull and push factor for sub regional entities to engage in international relations. This, of course, is analysed within the South African context.
