Abstract

Problematics of the legitimacy of non-formal constitutional changes through judicial decisions in the context of constitutional reform in Indonesia, with a focus on public perception as the main determinant of acceptance or rejection of these changes. Constitutional changes that do not go through formal procedures, carried out through the interpretation of judicial institutions, raise debates about the limits of institutional authority and the integrity of basic norms in the legal system. The purpose of the study was to evaluate how public perception affects the legitimacy of non-formal constitutional change through constitutional court decisions. This research uses a juridical-normative approach with the support of qualitative data analysed descriptively and evaluatively on several Constitutional Court decisions that are considered to contain elements of changes in constitutional norms. The novelty of this research lies in emphasizing the analysis of the relationship between public perception, trust in judicial institutions, and the direction of constitutional reform. The results show that without public support, constitutional change through non-formal channels risks delegitimization, and has the potential to create a crisis of confidence in constitutional institutions. This research contributes to promoting transparency, participation and accountability in the practice of judicial-based constitutional reform.

Abstract

Based on the terms of Act No. 6 of 2014 on the village, this study focuses at the implementation stage of the election of a village chief in the eastern Lombok district. The purpose of this study is to examine the legal processes that must be followed in order to choose a village chief and how these rules are actually implemented in the field. This research combines literary studies, legislative-legislative techniques, and normative jurisprudential procedures. The study's findings demonstrated that the East Lombok district's simultaneous head of village election has been conducted in accordance with the procedures outlined in Act No. 6 of 2014, which include the stages of preparation, candidate registration, campaigning, voting, tabulating votes, and determining the election's outcome. Nonetheless, there are several implementation roadblocks that must be overcome, like the public's poor socialisation of legislation and technical issues with the voting procedure. In order to make future improvements to the village chief election system, this article recommends increased socialisation, training for the election committee, and continuous evaluation.

Abstract

The imposition of criminal sanctions for minor criminal actions, such as theft, presents a complex and multifaceted challenge for legal systems worldwide. This study examines the imposition of criminal sanctions for minor theft offenses, with a specific focus on the case adjudicated under Judgment Number 826/Pid.B/2023/Pn.Mtr. The research aims to analyze the legal reasoning behind the court's decision, the proportionality of the sanctions imposed, and the broader implications for the criminal justice system. Utilizing a qualitative approach, this study involves a detailed case analysis, reviewing court documents, and interviews with legal experts. Findings indicate that while the court adhered to statutory guidelines, there were significant considerations regarding the socio-economic background of the offender and the value of the stolen property. The study concludes that although the sanctions imposed were within legal parameters, there is a need for a more nuanced approach that considers restorative justice principles. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on criminal justice reform, particularly concerning minor offenses, and advocates for policy adjustments that balance deterrence with rehabilitation.

Abstract

Narcotics crime refers to a range of illegal activities involving the distribution, purchase, sale, possession, and abuse of drugs without proper authorisation. These activities cause harm to both the broader community and the individuals involved. Restorative Justice has emerged as a response. Its primary focus is to resolve cases involving drug abusers who are addicted to narcotics. In addition to Restorative Justice, there is an alternative for rehabilitating narcotics abusers through the involvement of police investigators, the prosecutor's office, or decisions made by judges. The purpose of this study is to analyse the relationship between the interpretation and execution of Article 127 of Law No. 35 on Narcotics and Restorative Justice, based on literal interpretation. Based on the analyses, the enforcement of Article 127 of Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics, which focuses on Restorative Justice, has been supported by multiple regulations. However, the law's implementation has not aligned with expected standards and legislation, leading to ambiguity in Article 112 and Article 127. This ambiguity creates opportunities for unscrupulous law enforcement to make illicit gains, increasing the incidence of drug-related offenses. The author proposes an immediate revision of Law No. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics due to the ambiguity in the law's article parts and the current legal framework's inability to effectively curb opioid misuse.

In Mataram City, West Nusa Tenggara, MSMEs and halal industries thrive through supportive legal frameworks, government policies, and community-based initiatives that align with Islamic economic principles. This synergy demonstrates the dialectical relationship between law, politics, and economic practices in fostering inclusive and ethically grounded economic development. Conclusion: The study concludes that legal, constitutional, and political-economic integration is essential for promoting Sharia economy as a driver of MSMEs and halal industry, ensuring both compliance with Islamic principles and sustainable regional economic growth.

Abstract

Background: The development of the Gresik Regency Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in East Java has highlighted the need for integrated and collaborative governance in managing social services and supporting micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Traditional top-down approaches in public administration have often limited stakeholder participation, while complex socio-economic challenges demand a multi-stakeholder strategy. The Pentahelix approach, which engages government, academia, industry, community, and media, offers a framework to enhance collaborative governance within the context of Indonesian administrative law. Methods: This study employs a systematic literature review of national and international journals, policy documents, and legal literature relevant to collaborative governance, MSME development, social services, and the Pentahelix model. A qualitative-descriptive approach is applied to identify patterns, opportunities, and constraints in implementing Pentahelix-based governance in SEZ contexts. Findings: The literature indicates that the Pentahelix approach facilitates multi-stakeholder coordination, transparency, and accountability in social service delivery and MSME support. In the Gresik Regency SEZ, collaboration among government agencies, local communities, academic institutions, private sectors, and media has shown potential in fostering inclusive economic development. However, challenges persist, including regulatory gaps, limited legal frameworks for stakeholder integration, and disparities in institutional capacities. Conclusion: The Pentahelix approach can strengthen collaborative governance in SEZs, aligning with principles of administrative law by promoting participatory decision-making, efficiency, and accountability. Effective implementation requires legal and institutional reforms to ensure sustainable coordination among diverse stakeholders. Novelty/Originality of this article: This article contributes conceptually by integrating the Pentahelix model with administrative law perspectives, offering a novel framework for understanding collaborative governance in Indonesian SEZs. It provides an interdisciplinary approach that combines legal, social, and economic considerations, which has been rarely explored in the literature on SEZ management and MSME development.
