Abstract

Amidst the inflation phenomenon, the government approach to raising interest rates, and the threat of global recession, Foreign Direct Investment plays a pivotal role in boosting targeted economies. However, investors impugn the investment regulations’ efficacy and alternative dispute resolutions. Specifically, in the case of International State Dispute Settlement, to be claimed as an essential process in the investment regime, it has to guarantee the rights of private parties to sue a sovereign nation under the protection of public international law – usually manifested on BIT clauses. However, this study showed. BITs do not serve to attract additional FDI. While BITs indicate the certainty of law, they have not been acknowledged to signal a safe investment climate. Potential investors seem to have little awareness or appreciation of specific BITs. In this study, we conduct empirical legal research —underlying Economic Analysis of Law and Comparative Study. The data were collected by interviewing Executive Directors and surveying investor members from various chambers of commerce in Indonesia. The ultimate aim of the approach is to contribute to a systematic understanding of shaping, strengthening, and narrating the effective law as the determinant of foreign direct investment based on empirical data and direct inquiries from investors. In this article, we give an overview of the concept of FDI and trace the original rules and core principles governing FDI, followed by outlines of the current framework for foreign investment. We then discuss varying degrees expected by investors with different characteristics, such as nationality, in discussing the effectiveness of the law.

Abstract

The development of global trade has led to the emergence of cross-border insolvency, where the debtor’s assets are scattered in several countries and create legal challenges for curators in executing bankruptcy estates. Indonesia, which still adheres to the territoriality principle under Law Number 37 of 2004, faces significant barriers in recognizing and enforcing foreign bankruptcy decisions, resulting in ineffective cross-jurisdictional asset resolution and losses for creditors. This research employs a normative juridical method and a comparative approach by examining the implementation of the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency in South Korea. The findings show that legal harmonization through the adoption of the Model Law can strengthen the curator’s authority in executing assets across jurisdictions, as well as enhance legal certainty and creditor protection. It is recommended that Indonesia undertake bankruptcy law reform by adopting the principles of the UNCITRAL Model Law as an effort to modernize its national insolvency regime in response to global trade dynamics.

Abstract

This research examines the assessment of business prospects of bankrupt debtors in implementing the going concern principle under Indonesian Law No. 37 of 2004 on Bankruptcy and Suspension of Debt Payments (KPKPU). A significant gap exists between the normative objectives of going concern and its practical application in Indonesia's commercial court system. Indonesian bankruptcy regulations lack detailed technical mechanisms for prospectivity assessment, leading to ad hoc and subjective decision-making. Despite recognizing going concern as fundamental, success rates reach only 30-40% of filed cases, signaling systematic failures. This study uses a juridical-empirical approach with prescriptive-analytical methods, blending normative legal analysis and empirical data from curators, supervisory judges, and creditors. Comparative analysis with bankruptcy regimes in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and France identifies five key parameters: (1) liquidity and cash flow adequacy, (2) asset quality and marketability, (3) revenue generation capacity and market positioning, (4) management capability and turnaround experience, and (5) independent auditor opinion on going concern status. The research recommends a hybrid model integrating England's Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) (flexible, cost-effective), France's short observation periods (4-6 months with automatic stay), and simple litmus test-based assessment suited to Indonesian court capacity and MSME-dominated economy. This addresses unique challenges while ensuring creditor protection and efficiency. The framework boosts business rescue effectiveness and supports evidence-based bankruptcy reforms, especially amid Law 37/2004 revisions in the 2026 National Legislative Program (Prolegnas).

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has shifted the conventional trading paradigm into e-commerce transactions, which, despite offering efficiency, are highly prone to causing complex disputes between consumers and business actors. To address these potential losses, Law Number 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection mandates the establishment of the Consumer Dispute Settlement Body (BPSK) as an institution tasked with supervision and dispute resolution outside the court to ensure legal certainty. This research employs a juridical-empirical method with statutory and conceptual approaches to analyze the optimization of BPSK's supervisory role and its obligations in handling consumer losses. Research data were collected through in-depth literature studies and exclusive interviews with BPSK officials to comprehensively examine the implementation of the institution's policies, functions, and authorities within the current practice of consumer protection. The results indicate that optimizing BPSK's role as a supervisor faces significant structural obstacles due to the centralization of authority to the provincial level following the enactment of the Local Government Law, as well as the absence of technical guidelines for standard clause supervision, which causes overlapping functions with trade agencies. In the specific context of e-commerce, BPSK's supervision tends to be reactive on the downstream side, acting only after complaints are lodged, while upstream electronic system supervision remains under the control of the Ministry of Trade; a condition exacerbated by the fragmentation of complaint data which has not been integrated across institutions. Regarding the restoration of rights, BPSK has proven effective in adjudicating measurable material damages, such as refunds or product replacements, through conciliation, mediation, or arbitration dispute resolution mechanisms. However, BPSK has significant limitations in handling immaterial losses due to the difficulty of measuring psychological damage parameters and the weak executorial power of its decisions, which often fail if challenged in district court, making the effectiveness of consumer protection currently highly dependent on active consumer participation and voluntary business compliance.

Abstract

The development of fintech Peer-To-Peer (P2P) lending services in Indonesia has opened up faster, more flexible, and affordable access to financing for Micro, Small, And Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), but has also given rise to problems of high interest rates, over-indebtedness, and imbalances in borrower bargaining power compared to providers. This study examines the form of legal protection for MSMEs as borrowers in fintech P2P lending services based on POJK Number 77/POJK.01/2016 and the development of interest limit regulations through the AFPI code of ethics, SEOJK Number 19/SEOJK.06/2023, and POJK Number 4/2024. The method used is normative legal research with a normative juridical approach, based on analysis of laws and regulations, literature, and secondary data related to P2P lending practices. The results show that POJK 77/2016 initially only provided preventive and repressive protection based on transparency and complaint mechanisms without explicit interest limits, so it is insufficient to suppress excessive interest practices and total costs. The shift to price-based regulation through formal interest caps strengthens legal protection for MSMEs by limiting the maximum daily economic benefit and total costs, reducing the risk of predatory practices and over-leverage, while maintaining P2P lending’s role as an alternative source of financing for MSMEs.

Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly big data-based generative models, has created new challenges in copyright protection. This research examines the regulatory gap in Indonesian law regarding the use of copyrighted works as training data in AI model training, focusing on normative analysis and a case study of Kadrey Vs. Meta Platforms Inc. The research method used in this article is normative law, conducted by examining the legal norms contained in laws and regulations. The results of this study demonstrate that the widespread use of unauthorized creative works has the potential to violate the economic and moral rights of creators, while also opening up debate regarding the application of the principle of fair use in the context of modern AI. In Indonesia, the unclear definition of creator, the status of AI-generated works, and the lack of regulations regarding dataset transparency and permission mechanisms exacerbate the existing legal vacuum. This research concludes that Indonesia needs comprehensive legal reform to regulate the use of copyrighted works in AI training. Thus, regulatory updates are urgently needed to ensure that technological advancements do not diminish legal protection for creators and the national intellectual property ecosystem.

Abstract

The development of blockchain-based financial technology has created a trading tool known as crypto assets. The rapid growth of crypto assets in Indonesia and Japan offers financial innovation but also presents high risks, including speculation, fraud, and inadequate investor protection. This study aims to analyze and compare the forms of legal protection for crypto asset investors in Indonesia and Japan, as well as assess the role of the government and exchange companies in ensuring the security and public trust in digital assets. This study uses a normative juridical method with a comparative approach, through an analysis of laws and regulations, government policies, and case studies of Indodax (Indonesia) and Coinchek (Japan). The results of this study indicate that the Indonesian legal system, currently regulated by Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (Bappebti ) still treats crypto as a trading commodity, resulting in more administrative liability and not yet fully protecting investors. In contrast, Japan, through its Financial Services Agency (FSA), has designated crypto as a legal means of payment with a stronger protection system. This research confirms that the role of government and exchanges is the most important factor in achieving effective legal protection in the crypto asset sector.

Abstract

In the Indonesian film and advertising industries, freelance roles such as talent coordinators typically operate under project-based work arrangements governed by verbal employment agreements. This study addresses that gap by analysing how normative inconsistencies translate into everyday practices of precarity. Using a normative–empirical legal approach with purposive sampling, this study draws on in-depth interviews with talent coordinators and analysis of labour regulations. Daniel Little’s causal mechanism framework is applied to explain how the absence of written contracts functions as an institutional mechanism that weakens enforceability and normalises violations of labour standards. The findings show that 100 per cent of informants experienced the denial of basic labour rights guaranteed under Indonesian law, including regulated working hours, overtime consent, and compensation. This study demonstrates that regulatory flexibility without institutional safeguards does not enhance adaptability but instead produces structured vulnerability for freelance workers. It contributes to the literature by linking regulatory design to concrete mechanisms of rights erosion in the creative sector. The study concludes by proposing a shift from permissive flexibility towards a model of responsive regulation through the introduction of standardised digital contracts and strengthened labour oversight as prerequisites for film production licensing, thereby offering a transformative pathway to reduce precarity while maintaining industrial flexibility.
