Abstract

Indonesia’s constitutional framework enshrines the separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, yet only the legislature lacks explicit term‐limit provisions for its members. This normative legal analysis examines the democratic and legal implications arising from this regulatory gap and proposes strategies to safeguard legislative renewal. Utilizing primarily on secondary sources—statutes, academic literature, and comparative analyses—the research employed both statutory and conceptual approaches to assess existing laws, notably Law No. 17 of 2014 on the People’s Consultative Assembly and House of Representatives and Law No. 7 of 2017 on General Elections. The analysis identifies three core deficiencies: first, the lack of term limits undermines legal certainty by leaving tenure duration indeterminate and susceptible to arbitrary interpretation; second, unlimited re‐election fosters power entrenchment, increasing risks of corruption, collusion, and nepotism, and weakening the legislature’s oversight and budgetary functions; third, perpetual incumbency impedes generational renewal, diminishing internal party democracy and restricting political recruitment. Drawing comparative insights from Australia’s staggered Senate terms illustrate how structured tenure can promote dynamism while retaining institutional memory. In response, the study advocates for a clear legislative amendment that caps legislators’ service to two consecutive terms, aligned with principles of accountability, rotation of power, and open political recruitment. Additionally, it recommends that political parties institutionalize transparent internal mechanisms and enforce term‐limit rules to ensure cadre development and democratic governance. By codifying legislative term limits and fostering proactive party roles, Indonesia can strengthen constitutional checks and balances, enhance the legislative quality, and secure sustainable democratic renewal.

Abstract

Political parties are central to the democratic system in Indonesia, acting as the intermediary between citizens and the government. However, one of the most significant challenges facing political parties today is the issue of moral hazard, which occurs when party members prioritize personal or group interests over the public good. This study explores the impact of moral hazard within political parties and its detrimental effects on democracy in Indonesia. Using doctrinal legal research with a conceptual and descriptive analysis of secondary data, the study finds that moral hazard leads to a decline in public trust, diminished political participation, and weakened social control. The consequences also extend to the quality of public policies, which suffer due to misaligned priorities, lack of expertise, and insufficient evaluation. Moreover, moral hazard erodes accountability, which fuels corruption, nepotism, and a lack of oversight, ultimately compromising the quality of democracy. To address these challenges, the study proposes a multi-pronged strategy, including strengthening internal oversight within political parties, improving transparency, and reforming the party system. Key reforms include ensuring ethical conduct through codes of ethics, establishing independent oversight committees, and protecting whistleblowers. The study also advocates for stricter legal enforcement, increased public participation, and the role of media in holding parties accountable. Finally, global cooperation is crucial in tackling cross-border corruption and unethical practices. By implementing these reforms, Indonesia can reduce moral hazard within political parties, strengthening the democratic process and ensuring that the political system serves the public interest effectively and transparently.

Abstract

Sejak Era Reformasi 1998, otonomi daerah di Indonesia menjadi instrumen kunci untuk memperkuat demokratisasi lokal yang akuntabel dan responsif. Namun, terdapat kesenjangan lebar antara visi ideal dengan realitas akibat hambatan struktural dan politis. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji konsep hukum otonomi daerah, menganalisis problematika implementasinya terhadap demokratisasi lokal, serta merumuskan solusi rekonstruksi hukum yang ideal. Rumusan masalah difokuskan pada perspektif hukum otonomi daerah, kendala implementasi, dan upaya mengatasinya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan spesifikasi deskriptif analisis melalui pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa otonomi daerah saat ini belum efektif menjadi katalisator demokratisasi lokal. Implementasinya masih menghadapi kendala dalam mewujudkan pemerintahan yang benar-benar dekat dengan aspirasi rakyat. Sebagai solusi, diperlukan rekonstruksi hukum yang komprehensif dan konsisten. Upaya ini wajib mencakup penguatan kelembagaan, perbaikan regulasi, transformasi budaya hukum, dan peningkatan partisipasi publik secara menyeluruh. Penguatan elemen-elemen tersebut menjadi syarat mutlak agar otonomi daerah mampu mendorong terciptanya demokrasi yang sehat, akuntabel, dan berkelanjutan di tingkat lokal sebagai bagian dari keberhasilan desentralisasi.
