Abstract

Electoral democracy is widely regarded as a fundamental mechanism for realizing popular sovereignty, yet its substantive quality is often undermined when justice and political rights are inadequately protected. This article examines electoral democracy through the lens of the justice imperative by positioning citizens’ political rights as an integral concern of the human rights regime. The study aims to analyze how principles of justice operate within electoral processes and to assess the extent to which elections function as instruments for the effective protection of political rights. Employing a normative-analytical approach grounded in human rights theory and democratic justice, the article critically engages with international human rights instruments, contemporary democratic theory, and relevant scholarly discourse. The analysis demonstrates that electoral democracy cannot be reduced to procedural compliance or periodic voting alone, but must be evaluated based on its capacity to ensure equal participation, non-discrimination, legal certainty, and meaningful representation. The findings reveal that deficiencies in electoral justice directly translate into violations of political rights, thereby weakening the legitimacy of democratic governance. This article argues that reframing electoral democracy within a human rights framework provides a more robust normative foundation for assessing electoral integrity and for strengthening the protection of citizens’ political rights. Such a perspective is essential for advancing justice-oriented democratic practices in contemporary constitutional and socio-political contexts. Demokrasi pemilihan umum sering dipahami sebagai instrumen utama perwujudan kedaulatan rakyat, namun kualitas substansialnya kerap melemah ketika prinsip keadilan dan perlindungan hak politik tidak dijalankan secara optimal. Artikel ini bertujuan menganalisis demokrasi elektoral dengan menempatkan imperatif keadilan sebagai fondasi normatif serta memposisikan hak politik warga negara sebagai bagian tak terpisahkan dari rezim hak asasi manusia. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan normatif-analitis dengan bertumpu pada teori keadilan, demokrasi, dan hak asasi manusia, serta menelaah instrumen HAM internasional dan wacana akademik kontemporer yang relevan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa demokrasi elektoral tidak dapat direduksi semata-mata pada kepatuhan prosedural atau pelaksanaan pemungutan suara secara periodik, melainkan harus diukur dari kemampuannya menjamin kesetaraan partisipasi, non-diskriminasi, kepastian hukum, dan representasi politik yang bermakna. Ketimpangan dalam keadilan pemilu terbukti berdampak langsung pada terlanggarnya hak politik warga negara dan pada akhirnya menggerus legitimasi demokrasi itu sendiri. Artikel ini menegaskan bahwa perumusan ulang demokrasi elektoral dalam kerangka hak asasi manusia memberikan dasar normatif yang lebih kokoh untuk menilai integritas pemilu sekaligus memperkuat perlindungan hak politik warga negara dalam konteks demokrasi kontemporer.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the issue of regulatory fragmentation in the management of tourist destinations by local governments within the framework of regional autonomy in Indonesia through a normative juridical analysis. The main focus lies on the disharmony of the relationship between the central and regional governments that impacts the effectiveness of tourist destination governance, with a case study of the management of the Borobudur Temple Area. Method: Using a normative approach, this study examines legal provisions such as Law No. 10 of 2009 concerning Tourism and Law No. 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government, as well as other implementing regulations and non-statutory legal documents. Analysis is conducted on the interaction and overlap between regulations, as well as their impact on the implementation of authority in the field. Result: The results of the study indicate that although regional autonomy is regulated normatively, the practice of managing tourist destinations is still dominated by the central government, which tends to ignore the strategic role of the regions. This dominance not only weakens the capacity of regional decision-making but also creates inequality in the distribution of economic benefits, legal uncertainty for business actors, and social resistance from local communities. This study highlights the need for regulatory harmonization between the central and regional governments through a collaborative approach, strengthening regional institutional capacity, and actively involving local communities in policy formulation and implementation. Contribution: A key contribution of this research is the proposed tourism destination governance model based on the principles of distributive justice, intergovernmental synergy, and public participation. By integrating constitutional law and public administration perspectives, this study emphasizes that decentralization must be implemented substantively, not merely as a formality. Strengthening a responsive, inclusive, and contextual regulatory framework is a key prerequisite for realizing a sustainable, equitable tourism sector capable of significantly improving the welfare of local communities.
