Abstract

Kedudukan peraturan lembaga dalam hierarki perundang-undangan di Indonesia, sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 8 Undang-Undang No. 12 Tahun 2011, masih belum memiliki kejelasan yang cukup, yang menyebabkan ketidakpastian hukum dalam praktik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis kedudukan yuridis peraturan lembaga dalam hierarki perundang-undangan serta dampaknya terhadap pelaksanaan hukum di Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan konseptual, serta pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui studi kepustakaan yang mencakup peraturan perundang-undangan, putusan pengadilan, dan literatur terkait. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peraturan lembaga sering kali berpotensi bertentangan dengan peraturan yang lebih tinggi, seperti undang-undang atau peraturan pemerintah, karena ketiadaan harmonisasi yang jelas. Hal ini menimbulkan konflik normatif dan menurunkan kepastian hukum. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya revisi Undang-Undang No. 12 Tahun 2011 untuk memasukkan pedoman yang lebih rinci mengenai kedudukan peraturan lembaga serta mekanisme harmonisasi yang lebih jelas. Implikasi dari penelitian ini adalah pentingnya reformasi regulasi untuk meningkatkan kepastian dan konsistensi dalam pelaksanaan hukum di berbagai sektor di Indonesia.

Abstract

The present study sets out to explore the application of lean governance principles to streamline state ministries' bureaucratic structures, with a focus on reducing waste and optimizing workflow. It is hypothesized that such an approach would enhance the responsiveness of public services, thereby addressing the inefficiencies in decision-making and resource wastage that are often observed in bloated bureaucratic structures, where ministries frequently have overlapping authority. A normative juridical research method was used to foster relevant regulations and assess the compatibility of the concept within the context of government administration. The findings indicate that lean governance can reduce redundancy and improve efficiency through authority restructuring, simplifying bureaucratic processes, and strengthened inter-agency coordination. The implications of this study include the need for regulatory adjustments to support authority restructuring and enhanced information technology to improve transparency and accountability. Consistent implementation of lean governance is expected to create a more responsive and adaptive government, ultimately fostering greater public trust in the public sector.

Abstract

The harmonization process in the formation of regional regulations in Indonesia is designed to ensure alignment between local regulations and national law. However, the centralistic approach often adopted in this harmonization process tends to limit the flexibility of local governments in formulating regulations that suit local needs. This issue raises concerns that the constitutionally granted authority of local governments to create localized regulations may be eroded. This study aims to analyze the impact of a centralistic harmonization approach on the effectiveness of regional autonomy, particularly in the context of local regulation. Using a normative juridical method with a descriptive-analytical approach, this research evaluates legislation, legal documents, and related literature to understand the implications of harmonization on local regulations. The findings indicate that overly centralistic harmonization can hinder innovation and adaptation of local regulations, reducing the capacity of local governments to respond to the needs of their communities. These findings emphasize the need for a more flexible and inclusive harmonization procedure to ensure that local regulations can still function effectively within the national legal framework. The implications of this study suggest that a more balanced approach between centralization and decentralization is necessary to maintain sustainable, adaptive, and responsive regional autonomy.

Abstract

The correctional system in Indonesia faces significant challenges, including overcapacity, low effectiveness of rehabilitation, and a lack of integration of spiritual values. This research aims to explore the application of maqāṣid al-syarīʿah as a value foundation in the reform of the correctional system to enhance the effectiveness of rehabilitation and reintegration of inmates. This research employs a qualitative method with a normative-empirical approach, encompassing an analysis of regulatory frameworks, particularly Law Number 22 of 2022 concerning Corrections and observational techniques. The research results show that maqāṣid al-syarīʿah, with principles such as the protection of life (hifz an-nafs), intellect (hifz al-aql), spirituality (hifz ad-din), lineage (hifz an-nasl), and property (hifz al-māl) provide a holistic framework to support the rehabilitation of prisoners. Programs based on religious values and practical skills have proven capable of supporting individual moral and economic changes, while community involvement through community mentors strengthens social reintegration. However, challenges such as limited resources, cultural resistance to religious-based approaches, and the lack of oversight based on maqāṣid al-syarīʿah indicators hinder optimal implementation. Therefore, this research recommends a revision of more specific regulations, including the provision of religious-based facilities, officer training, and the strengthening of technology-based evaluations. This research includes formulating more humane and inclusive correctional policies in line with Islamic values and universal human rights. By integrating maqāṣid al-syarīʿah, the correctional system in Indonesia can transform into an instrument that is punitive and rehabilitative, creating sustainable social harmony.

Abstract

The recognition of customary norms within Indonesia’s legal system continues to face challenges due to the dominance of legal positivism, which emphasizes legal certainty through codified regulations. Although Article 18B (2) of the 1945 Constitution acknowledges the existence of indigenous legal communities, its implementation within the national legal system remains limited and conditional, leading to legal uncertainty for indigenous groups. This study aims to analyze how customary norms are recognized within Indonesia’s positive legal system and to identify the challenges and opportunities in harmonizing these two legal frameworks. This research employs a normative legal method with a conceptual and statutory approach, analyzed qualitatively using a descriptive-analytical framework. The findings reveal that customary law remains marginalized within the national legal system due to inconsistencies in regulations and court rulings, as well as the absence of a clear harmonization mechanism. The implications of this study emphasize the need for more inclusive legal reforms, enhanced capacity-building for law enforcement officials, and a stronger role for Indigenous communities in legal policymaking. These measures are expected to strengthen the recognition of customary law within the national legal system, contributing to greater substantive justice for Indigenous communities.

Abstract

The regulatory fragmentation between the Election Law and the Regional Election Law has created overlapping policies, misaligned oversight, and administrative inefficiencies that undermine the legitimacy of democracy in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the legal and policy challenges in integrating the electoral and regional election systems to improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability in democratic governance. The research employs a normative legal approach through legislative analysis, conceptual exploration, and comparative studies of integrated electoral systems in the Philippines and Mexico. The findings indicate that integrating electoral and regional election systems can reduce operational costs, strengthen oversight mechanisms, and enhance public trust in election outcomes. However, this requires regulatory harmonization, the strengthening of information technology infrastructure, and capacity-building for electoral management bodies. The implications of this research include recommendations for holistic legal reforms to align election regulations and the implementation of evidence-based policies involving various stakeholders in the policymaking process. This study contributes to constitutional law and democratic governance in Indonesia by analyzing the legal inconsistencies between the Election Law and the Regional Election Law and proposing a harmonization framework to improve regulatory coherence and institutional effectiveness

Abstract

The limitations placed on the authority of interim Regional Heads, as outlined in Indonesian Law Number 23 of 2014 on Regional Governance, present significant challenges to the continuity of strategic decision-making during leadership transitions. The ambiguity surrounding the scope of interim authority often results in stagnation in public policy implementation, adversely impacting regional development and governance. This study examines the philosophical underpinnings and legal foundations of interim authority, while also evaluating the tangible effects of these limitations on the functioning of regional government. Utilizing a normative legal methodology that incorporates both statutory and conceptual approaches, this research is grounded in a thorough review of primary and secondary legal sources. The findings indicate that interim authority should be viewed as a constitutional mandate designed to ensure the seamless operation of government, despite its temporary nature. However, in practice, stringent normative constraints can lead to a significant leadership vacuum and create opportunities for political interference. These findings underscore the necessity for regulatory reform that provides interim Regional Heads with appropriate flexibility in making strategic decisions, all while maintaining the principles of accountability and oversight. Such policy reforms are essential for sustaining an effective and responsive regional government in the face of political dynamics and leadership transitions.

Abstract

The increasing complexity of citizen–government interactions in administrative law has revealed the limitations of litigation-based dispute resolution, which is often criticized for its rigidity, inefficiency, and lack of procedural inclusiveness. This study aimed to develop a conceptual model of Hybrid Dispute Resolution (HDR) that integrates judicial procedures with alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms to enhance fairness, participation, and institutional responsiveness in resolving administrative disputes. A normative juridical method was employed, incorporating statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Legal frameworks and institutional practices in Singapore, China, and Poland were examined to identify key elements for HDR adaptation within the context of Indonesian administrative law. These findings indicate that HDR, particularly through models such as Med-Arb and Arb-Med, can effectively combine the legal certainty of litigation with the flexibility and participatory benefits of ADR. However, successful implementation requires a robust legal framework, trained mediators, institutional readiness, and public accountability mechanisms. HDR not only provides procedural alternatives but also contributes to the democratization of public administration by enabling citizens to directly engage with the state in resolving disputes. This reflects a paradigm shift toward more adaptive and humanistic governance. The HDR offers a viable framework for reforming administrative dispute resolution systems, with broad implications for access to justice, regulatory innovation, and the enhancement of citizen–state relations in democratic governance.

Abstract

The Indonesian Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is governed by Law No. 32 of 2009 on Protection and Management of the Environment. However, the implementation of Strategic Environmental Assessment still faces significant challenges, especially in fulfilling the constitutional rights of citizens to a healthy and sustainable environment. The misalignment between Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) practices and constitutional principles, particularly regarding transparency, public participation, and environmental justice, has contributed to violations of environmental rights and the perpetuation of social injustice in the development processes. This study aims to analyze the constitutionality of SEA’s application in the context of sustainable development in Indonesia. This study uses a normative legal method with legislative, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The research results indicate that the implementation of SEA is still inconsistent with the Constitution, particularly in protecting environmental rights. Weakness of oversight and the lack of sanctions for violations of the Environmental Impact Assessment are the main obstacles to its implementation. This study has implications for the need for reforms in law enforcement, strengthening of oversight, and increasing community participation in the SEA process to ensure environmental protection and citizens’ constitutional rights.
