Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal construction of public participation and transparency in the formation of Regional Regulations on the Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) in Bima City during the 2019–2024 period. The research is motivated by a gap between normative legal provisions that guarantee public participation and transparency in regional budgeting and the empirical practice of APBD regulation-making, which tends to be procedural and elitist. The main issue examined concerns how the legal construction of public participation and transparency is implemented in the formation of APBD regulations and to what extent these principles are realized substantively. This research employs a normative-empirical legal research method with a qualitative approach. The data consists of secondary data, including statutory regulations, Bima City APBD regional regulations for fiscal years 2019–2024, and relevant academic literature, as well as primary data obtained from musrenbang documents, minutes of RAPBD deliberations, and APBD documents published by the local government. All data were analyzed using a juridical-critical method through systematic and teleological legal interpretation and comparison between normative standards and empirical practices. The findings indicate that, normatively, the principles of public participation and transparency have been incorporated into the formation of APBD regulations in Bima City. However, empirically, their implementation remains largely formalistic and has not yet reflected meaningful public participation and substantive transparency. This study concludes that strengthening participatory mechanisms and enhancing budget information transparency are essential to realizing democratic and accountable regional financial governance.

Abstract

The Political Party Court is an internal institution established by political parties to independently resolve disputes within the party before resorting to state courts. It plays a strategic role in maintaining organizational stability and strengthening intra-party democracy. The objective of this study is to analyze the binding force of the Political Party Court's decisions and their implications for the effectiveness of dispute resolution and the quality of internal party democracy in Indonesia. The research method used is normative legal research with a legislative and conceptual approach based on literature studies. The results of the study indicate that normatively, the decisions of the Party Court are binding on members and administrators based on positive law and the party's Articles of Association/Bylaws, but their effectiveness is often hampered by non-compliance by the parties, weak internal enforcement, and continued open access to state justice. This condition causes the Party Court's function as an autonomous forum for dispute resolution and a driver of transparent and accountable intra-party democracy to not function optimally. Therefore, institutional strengthening, affirmation of the legal standing of its decisions, and increased internal party commitment are needed to make the Party Court the primary mechanism for resolving internal disputes.
