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.

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.

Abstract

This study examines the regulation of private funding sources for political parties, with the goal of developing a framework that ensures political equality for donors. Adopting a normative legal research approach, the study employs statutory, conceptual, and comparative methods. Data are analyzed descriptively and prescriptively to offer a comprehensive understanding of the current regulatory gaps and to propose a ius constituendum for the regulation of private political party funding. The findings reveal two key issues. First, while Indonesia has regulations governing private funding for political parties, these regulations do not comprehensively address all private funding sources, leaving certain sources unregulated or insufficiently restricted. Second, the existing regulatory framework fails to ensure political equality among donors. Based on these findings, the study recommends several reforms for more equitable regulation. Specifically, it advocates for a regulatory framework that prioritizes political equality, with detailed classifications of private funding sources—distinguishing between internal sources, such as party taxes from members holding political positions, and external sources, such as loans from individuals or legal entities. Additionally, the study proposes establishing clear limits on donor contributions, including maximum limits for both member contributions and party taxes. These reforms aim to create a more transparent and balanced system of political financing, ensuring fairer access to the political process for all donors.

Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of re-centralizing mining authority on regional autonomy in Indonesia, focusing on legislative changes from Law No. 22/1999 to the Omnibus Law (Law No. 6/2023). The shift from decentralized to centralized control, accelerated by Law No. 3/2020, transfers authority from districts to provinces, aiming to improve national resource management efficiency. However, the findings reveal critical risks, including weakened environmental oversight, restricted public participation, and reduced local revenues from mining operations. While centralization may streamline governance, it poses significant challenges for regional governments in managing resources independently, impacting local welfare and sustainable development. This research offers novel insights into the tension between national efficiency and regional autonomy, emphasizing the urgency of re-evaluating policies to balance these interests. The study contributes to the broader discourse on governance by providing policy recommendations for achieving sustainable resource management within a decentralized framework.
