Abstract

This study examines the challenges and opportunities of arbitration in the digital era, focusing on the legal and practical perspectives of online dispute resolution in Indonesia. The research is motivated by the rapid development of information technology, which has transformed dispute resolution mechanisms through digital platforms, particularly in e-commerce transactions and cross-border contracts. This study employs a normative legal approach or doctrinal research, analyzing legislation, legal theory, academic literature, and jurisprudence related to digital arbitration. The research stages include problem identification, literature review, collection of primary and secondary data, and qualitative analysis to evaluate the challenges and benefits of digital arbitration. The findings indicate that while national regulations do not explicitly govern online arbitration, they provide a legal foundation through principles of party consent, arbitrator independence, and award recognition. Moreover, digital arbitration offers cost and time efficiency, procedural flexibility, broader access, and technological innovations, provided that fairness, confidentiality, and legal certainty are ensured through secure platforms and competent arbitrators.

Abstract

This study examines the strategic role of arbitration as a mechanism for resolving investment disputes in Indonesia. Investment plays a vital role in national economic development, yet it inherently carries the potential for conflicts between investors, business partners, and the government. Conventional litigation often proves lengthy, costly, and insufficiently confidential, prompting a demand for alternative dispute resolution. This research employs normative legal methods (doctrinal research), using statute and conceptual approaches to analyze relevant legislation, including Law No. 30 of 1999 on Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution and Law No. 25 of 2007 on Investment, as well as arbitral awards and scholarly literature. The study systematically identifies legal issues, collects and classifies legal materials, and applies qualitative analysis through grammatical, systematic, and teleological interpretation. Findings indicate that arbitration provides legal certainty, procedural flexibility, neutrality, and enforceable outcomes, strengthened by Indonesia’s ratification of the 1958 New York Convention. Despite legal and practical challenges, arbitration effectively protects investor rights, supports a conducive investment climate, and enhances Indonesia’s economic competitiveness. Recommendations include strengthening institutions, human resources, and future research aligned with digital and cross-border investments.
