Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of democracy in Indonesia after the 1998 reforms, which was marked by a weakening of the substantive quality of democracy and the strengthening of covert authoritarianism. Using a qualitative approach and desk study methods, this study analyzes the dynamics of contemporary Indonesian politics through Robert A. Dahl's theory of polyarchy, Larry Diamond's concept of democratic consolidation, and Andreas Schedler and Nancy Bermeo's framework of electoral authoritarianism. The findings indicate that although democratic procedures, such as elections, remain formally valid, the practices of power tend to be exclusive, repressive, and manipulative. Civic space has been narrowed, criticism of power has been criminalized, and independent oversight institutions have lost their function. This phenomenon indicates a shift toward a hybrid regime, or a formal democracy but authoritarian in substance. To prevent anti-democratic consolidation of power, institutional reform, the enforcement of a just rule of law, and the empowerment of civil society as a countervailing force are necessary. This research is expected to contribute to the academic literature on latent threats to democracy and provide a normative basis for strengthening substantive democracy in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the conceptual dynamics and methodological developments of Professional Zakat in classical and contemporary Islamic jurisprudential traditions, which emerged alongside the transformation of modern economic structures and the increasing dominance of professional income as a source of wealth. This study aims to trace the pattern of istinbat among ulama, assess the coherence and discrepancies in the fatwas of religious institutions, and identify the relevance of Professional Zakat as an instrument of wealth distribution within the framework of Islamic fiscal policy. The study employed a qualitative approach, including a literature review, content analysis, and comparative analysis of the works of scholars, institutional fatwas, and academic literature. The results show that most religious institutions accept Professional Zakat at a rate of 2.5% and the nisab of gold, but differ in the determination of the haul and the basis of calculation. Other findings show that integrating Professional Zakat into public policy has the potential to increase economic equality, strengthen the empowerment of mustahik, and enhance the stability of national zakat funds. This study concludes that Professional Zakat has strategic significance in addressing contemporary economic disparities, while demonstrating Islamic jurisprudence's ability to adapt to social change through ijtihad informed by benefits and the modern economic context.
