Abstract

This study places Islamic law within Indonesia's local political culture as a field of struggle over meaning that not only reflects the religious aspirations of the community, but also reveals how sharia continues to be negotiated, contested, and even politicised within local democratic power relations that are laden with symbols, identities, and struggles for legitimacy. The aim is to explain how Islamic law can function as a source of political legitimacy, an instrument of public policy, and an arena for identity contestation in local communities. This study uses a qualitative approach with a cross-regional comparative case study design, given the complexity of the phenomena under study, which cannot be reduced to simple causal relationships. The results indicate that Islamic law in contemporary Indonesian local political culture is not merely a normative system applied. Still, rather a field of struggle for meaning that is continuously reproduced in the tug-of-war among the legitimacy of power, collective identity, and the demands of pluralistic democracy. Sharia is often mobilised as a powerful moral symbol, but therein lies the paradox because when Islamic law is reduced to an electoral instrument and moralistic regulation, it risks losing its transformative ethical power as a substantive social justice project. The issue is not whether Islamic law exists in the public sphere, but rather who controls its interpretation, for what interests it serves, and to what extent it can transcend symbolic politics toward an inclusive maqāṣid al-sharīʿah.

Abstract

Character education in Indonesia faces an existential paradox, as the moral values that should liberate people are at risk of being reduced to tools of adaptation within a market logic that demands relentless efficiency, productivity and competitiveness. This study aims to develop a conceptual framework to explain the relationship between local character values and global competencies, and to explore how integrating the two can be implemented in educational practice. This study employs a sequential explanatory design, enabling both in-depth exploration and testing of conceptual relationships. The findings confirm that character education in Indonesia faces not merely implementation challenges, but is caught in a deeper epistemological crisis, wherein moral values are produced, negotiated, and even compromised within the framework of a non-neutral global competitive rationality, thus revealing that the education system implicitly has the potential to act as an agent reconstructing morality according to market logic, rather than merely transmitting noble values. The contribution of this study lies in dismantling the assumption that character education is inherently noble, by demonstrating that without structural transformation, it may instead function as symbolic legitimisation for contradictory educational practices, whilst simultaneously offering a new conceptual direction that positions character as a critical arena between resistance and adaptation.
