The paper aims to interpret the meaning of Jakarta as a 'global city' and connect it with the ASEAN context. The term' global city' can be found in Law Number 2 of 2024 on the Special Region of Jakarta. It was created as Jakarta's future direction after removing its capital status to Nusantara. The meaning of 'global city' needs to be discussed in the ASEAN context since Jakarta's vital position in the ASEAN Secretariat and its unofficial status as ASEAN's capital. This research will use doctrinal and explanatory research methodologies by looking into Law No. 2 of 2024, including the minutes of discussion in the parliament, to find its legislative intention. I will add explanatory research to gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of the global city based on the historical conditions of Jakarta and ASEAN, as well as the phenomenon of regional integration.
