<![CDATA[AbstractThe impact of Law No. 3/2020, which transferred mining licensing and supervision from local governments to the central government. This research examines the significant changes in the management of natural resources, particularly minerals and coal, previously regulated by Law No. 4/2009. Although the new law aims to improve investment efficiency and competitiveness, the removal of local government authority has the potential to generate conflict and community discontent. The results of this study show that this centralization of authority creates an authoritarian political configuration, where the aspirations of the community are not represented. In addition, the character of the resulting legal products is considered elite and unresponsive to local needs. This research emphasizes the need for community participation in the legislative process to ensure sustainability and environmental protection as well as the welfare of communities affected by mining activities. Although Law No. 3/2020 aims to simplify the licensing process, major challenges remain in terms of transparency, public participation and environmental protection.
