Abstract

Indonesia has been trying to develop democracy since the early independence. Assignment of the head of the region conducted from 1945 to 1999. After the big reformation in 1999, which started in 2004, Indonesia started a new chapter with the direct election model for regional heads. This research tries to find the philosophy of Indonesia’s choice to select its regional leader according to the law provided. The research is normative research with a conceptual and comparative approach. The results show that the election of regional leaders in Indonesia has not always been in line with the sovereignty of the people and the concept of democracy. Political choice has had a very significant impact. However, as it turns out into practice, as an emerging country in South East Asia, even though an assignment and not by the general election, leaders or regional heads are also considered as democratic as long as it is still on the path of openness, fair game and also according to people’s approval, including if it comes from the regional representative’s choice of candidates.

Abstract

Dynastic politics, practiced by certain groups of individuals with kinship ties or close relationships, dominate political positions in regional head elections and local government administration processes. This phenomenon persists due to the lack of concrete regulations, thereby normalizing it as a political practice in Indonesia. This study aims to elaborate on the facts surrounding dynastic political practices, examine how such practices undermine the democratic ideals envisioned by the people, and propose prospective regulatory frameworks to address this issue. The research employs a normative juridical method with statutory, historical, and conceptual approaches. The findings reveal that dynastic political practices harm the democratic system and tend to be more formalistic rather than providing a genuine opportunity for the people to elect leaders aligned with their will. To prevent such practices in the future, the government, the legislature, and election organizers must collaborate to formulate concrete regulatory norms in the Regional Head Election Law.

The results of the study confirm that to achieve and ensure that general elections are held a justice process and proportionally, the orientation of legal construction on the periodic principle has actually been explicitly stated in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and is based on a systematic interpretation. In this case, in terms of periodic aspect orientation, it is part of the general election principle that is obligatory and must be implemented.

Abstract

Corporate branding through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs has become a key strategy for many mining companies in Indonesia. CSR is supposed to be a tangible manifestation of a company’s contribution to social and environmental development around its area of operation. However, in practice, CSR is often just an image tool to improve the company’s reputation without having a significant positive impact on society. This article examines the phenomenon of CSR in the Indonesian mining sector, which is often involved in scandals and manipulative practices. The research highlights various cases where mining companies fail to fulfill their social responsibilities, manipulate CSR reports, and exploit local communities. Through a qualitative analysis approach, this article reveals that CSR programs in the mining sector are more often used as a means to improve public image than to make a real contribution to sustainable development. The conclusion of this study shows the need for supervisory reforms and clear rules related to criminal sanctions for misuse of CSR funds so that CSR implementation does not only become a means of imaging, but actually has a positive sustainable impact.
