Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine and explain the revitalization of fisheries cooperative institutions that could serve as a means of empowering coastal communities. Fisheries cooperatives were institutions that functioned as a platform for their members to carry out joint economic activities in the fisheries sector. Although Indonesia’s fisheries resources were abundant and highly potential, the socio-economic life of coastal communities was generally categorized as poor and marginalized. This research was a non-doctrinal legal study using a socio-legal research approach. This paper attempted to analyze and describe the issues of revitalizing fisheries cooperative institutions that could become a means of empowering coastal communities. The results of the study showed that revitalization of fisheries cooperatives could serve as an instrument to empower coastal communities. Cooperatives, as economic institutions, also simultaneously functioned as social institutions that played a role in improving welfare. They contributed not only in economic aspects but also in social aspects through education that could enhance members’ knowledge and skills. As business entities, cooperatives gathered members based on the principle of voluntarism. Therefore, as legal entities, fisheries cooperatives needed institutional revitalization to function effectively in improving welfare and protecting the interests of their members.

Abstract

This study discussed the role of law as an instrument for realizing social justice in Indonesia through the perspective of philosophy of science. Law was not only understood as a set of formal norms but also as a means of social transformation grounded in ontological, epistemological, and axiological foundations. Using a normative juridical research method and a qualitative approach based on literature review, this research analyzed the contributions of various legal theories and theories of justice including Satjipto Rahardjo’s responsive law, John Rawls’ theory of distributive justice, H.L.A. Hart’s legal positivism, Amartya Sen’s development paradigm, and Alasdair MacIntyre’s ethics of justice in shaping a legal framework that was inclusive and responsive to complex social realities. The findings showed that law in Indonesia had the potential to become a catalyst for social change through redistributive policies, protection of vulnerable groups, and strengthening of community solidarity. The perspective of philosophy of science deepened the understanding of the relationship between law and social justice, particularly in explaining the nature of law as an adaptive institution (ontology), the process of legal knowledge formation (epistemology), and the substantive values of justice underpinning legal practice (axiology).
