Abstract

Abstract This study stems from the phenomenon of social movements advocating for the legitimacy of the Domestic Workers Protection Bill. It questions the state's ability to fulfill the demands of such social movements. Employing a socio-legal approach, this study utilizes the concept of cannibalistic capitalism and Nancy Fraser’s dualism perspective. This study reveals that the domestic workers' social movement demands both recognition and redistribution through the enactment of the proposed bill. However, Indonesia's legislative paradigm does not allow the state to provide both recognition and redistribution to domestic workers through the law. At best, the state might offer recognition, however redistribution remains unlikely. Abstrak Studi ini berangkat dari fenomena gerakan sosial yang mendorong legitimasi Rancangan Undang-Undang Perlindungan Pekerja Rumah Tangga. Studi ini mempertanyakan kemungkinan negara untuk memenuhi tuntutan gerakan sosial tersebut. Digalang secara sosio-legal, studi ini mendayagunakan formulasi kapitalisme kanibal dan perspektif dualisme dari Nancy Fraser. Studi ini mengungkap bahwa gerakan sosial pekerja rumah tangga menuntut adanya rekognisi dan redistribusi melalui pengesahan rancangan undang-undang yang dimaksud. Akan tetapi, paradigma pembentukan hukum di Indonesia tidak memungkinkan negara untuk memberi rekognisi dan redistribusi kepada pekerja rumah tangga melalui hukum. Paling mungkin, negara hanya akan memberikan rekognisi, tetapi tidak dalam memberikan redistribusi.

Abstract

This research analyzes the judicial implications of the Constitutional Court’s rulings on structured, systematic, and massive (TSM) violations in Indonesian elections, and their impact on democratic integrity. Using a socio-legal approach, it combines legal analysis with social science perspectives to examine how the Court interprets and applies TSM principles within a broader socio-political context. The study finds that while the Constitutional Court plays a pivotal role in upholding electoral integrity and safeguarding democratic values, significant challenges remain. Chief among these is the difficulty of proving TSM violations, which are often entangled with powerful political interests. These challenges can weaken public trust, hinder accountability, and contribute to a democratic deficit. The study concludes that more robust judicial mechanisms and clearer evidentiary standards are needed to ensure fair adjudication and strengthen Indonesia’s democratic institutions.

Abstract

The presence of freedom of contract presupposes that the parties to the agreement are free to choose the agreement’s terms, structure, participation, and several other freedoms. As a type of contractual relationship, employment contracts are thought to include some degree of contractual freedom. This study attempts to answer the claim that employment contracts include freedom of contract by addressing the question of whether such a claim is supported by the premise of such freedom. The questions highlighted in this article will be investigated by reviewing the rules and legislation pertaining to employment contracts under Indonesian labor law, within the theoretical framework of critical realism. Critical realism provides a lens through which the underlying structures, mechanisms, and social conditions shaping employment relations can be uncovered, even when these are not directly observable. It allows researchers to move beyond surface-level legal formalities and examine the real constraints that limit workers’ choices and autonomy. Through this approach, the legal and social dimensions of employment contracts are assessed not only as written agreements but also as instruments shaped by power relations and economic dependence. According to research, employment contracts lack the justification of true contractual freedom. In practice, workers are not given the freedom to plan, decide, and select choices according to their preferences. Because of the employment contract, the worker becomes a party who is dependent on the employer, both personally and financially, particularly in terms of the wages determined and provided by the employer.

Abstract

This study originates from the discourse on social media regarding a set of Asian cultural values that often conflict with universal human rights principles. These values, recognized in human rights studies as Asian values, are seen in various studies as intertwined with threats to human rights. Therefore, this study aims to uncover the forms of discourse surrounding Asian values on social media and their potential impact on freedom of expression. Based on these issues, this research employs a non-doctrinal method, which examines law within various  extra-legal  contexts, to  explore  the  discourse of Asian values emerging on social media—especially on the 'X' platform—and its relationship with political and religious expression on social media. The study reveals that the tendency of Asian values to support authoritarianism also extends to social media. Various expressions are then labeled as uncivil and contrary to Indonesian culture. This situation leads Asian values to act as a trigger for the shrinking of civil space on social media.
