Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technologies has reshaped the global economy, with the digital economy becoming a key driver of growth and innovation. Indonesia, as the leader in Southeast Asia’s digital economy, has immense potential, with projected growth at 40% by 2018. However, the country’s digital economy remains hindered by an inadequate and fragmented cyber law framework. The existing laws are sector-specific, leading to overlapping institutional authority, weak enforcement, and a lack of clarity in jurisdiction, particularly regarding cross-border cyber threats. This fragmented legal landscape impedes the integration of Indonesia’s digital economy and undermines cybersecurity efforts. This study examines the challenges within Indonesia’s current cyber law and argues for comprehensive reforms to provide clear institutional authority, enhance inter-agency coordination, and create laws tailored to the digital economy and cybersecurity. Drawing insights from international frameworks, such as the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Australia's Critical Infrastructure Bill, the study advocates for a dual approach—ensuring both data privacy and critical infrastructure protection. Furthermore, the research highlights the need for collaboration between government, the private sector, and civil society, along with public education initiatives, to foster a secure and trustworthy digital ecosystem. By analyzing existing regulations and proposing targeted reforms, this study aims to contribute to improved cybersecurity governance, enabling sustainable digital transformation and economic growth in Indonesia.

Abstract

The Constitutional Court of Indonesia is entrusted with safeguarding constitutional supremacy within Indonesia’s constitutional order, yet it does not possess the authority to review amendments to the 1945 Constitution. This institutional limitation creates a structural gap because constitutional amendments, despite their far reaching consequences, remain beyond judicial scrutiny. This study examines the constitutional feasibility of granting the Court authority to conduct procedural and substantive review of constitutional amendments. Using doctrinal legal research supported by comparative constitutional analysis, the article draws on Hans Kelsen’s theory of the hierarchy of norms and the Basic Structure Doctrine as developed in India and Germany to construct an evaluative framework suitable for the Indonesian context. The analysis demonstrates that the absence of judicial oversight over constitutional amendments weakens constitutional supremacy and increases the risk of democratic erosion through formally valid political processes. The article proposes a structured model of limited amendment review grounded in Indonesia’s constitutional identity, particularly the foundational principles embodied in Pancasila and the commitment to the rule of law. By articulating a contextually grounded doctrinal framework, this study contributes to contemporary debates on unconstitutional constitutional amendments and offers a normative pathway for strengthening constitutional guardianship in Indonesia.
