Abstract

Law enforcement efforts​ to uncover corruption crimes is not limited to convicting or imprisoning the perpetrators , but also involves recovering state losses by returning the assets and property they have misappropriated . This law enforcement effort is supported by the Draft Law on Asset Confiscation (Asset Confiscation Bill). This approach aligns with integrative legal theory , which emphasizes that multiple law enforcement agencies must collaborate in addressing corruption crimes . There is a legal basis for the cooperation between the Indonesian National Police, the Attorney General's Office, and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) in handling corruption cases . In practice , however , there are still overlapping authorities and legal gaps arising from regulations , policies , or other statutory provisions , which can potentially lead to conflicts , deficiencies , or inefficiencies in tracing corruption cases . Therefore , this study aims to analyze the joint handling of corruption cases by law enforcement agencies in Indonesia, namely POLRI, the Attorney General's Office, and KPK, in the enforcement of anti -corruption laws . This study aims to analyze the joint handling of corruption cases by POLRI, the Attorney General's Office, and KPK in enforcing anti -corruption laws in Indonesia. Findings indicate that this collaboration is built on a solid legal framework and seeks to ensure law enforcement that is transparent , professional , and integrity-driven . In practice , several challenges remain , including overlapping authorities , weak coordination , sectoral egos, political interference , limited human resources , differences in standards operating procedures ( SOPs ), and inadequate data sharing . Recommended solutions include regulatory harmonization , SOP alignment , strengthening coordination through regular forums , enhancing professionalism and ethics among law enforcement officials , leveraging digital technology (e-audit, e- prosecution ), and empowering public participation to foster anti - corruption culture . The recovery of state financial losses in corruption cases is a critical component of anti -corruption efforts , highlighting the necessity of ratifying the Draft Law on Asset Confiscation to ensure effective restitution . Comparatively , the United States recovers losses swiftly through litigation and strict regulations ; Singapore experiences minimal losses due to effective prevention and assets seizure ; Malaysia faces significant losses with slow recovery processes ; whereas Indonesia continues to encounter challenges in coordination and regulatory implementation , resulting in suboptimal recovery of state assets

Abstract

International arbitration has emerged as a key mechanism for resolving cross-border disputes in the modern era of international law. As an alternative to national judicial systems, arbitration offers a neutral forum capable of providing legal certainty and protecting the interests of parties, including states, multinational corporations, and individuals. This article examines the role of international arbitration as a pillar of international law, using both doctrinal and practical approaches. From a doctrinal perspective, arbitration is understood through basic principles such as party autonomy, neutrality, finality of awards, and international recognition of arbitration outcomes. From a practical perspective, the discussion covers the effectiveness of international arbitration institutions, such as the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), as well as the challenges of practical implementation, including costs, delays, and potential conflicts with domestic legal interests. This article argues that international arbitration is not merely a technical dispute resolution instrument but also a normative instrument that strengthens the legitimacy and stability of the international legal system. Thus, international arbitration can be viewed as a crucial foundation underpinning the development of contemporary international law, as well as a strategic tool for maintaining a balance between national interests and the global order.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the global research landscape regarding public distrust toward the police and its implications for strengthening the legitimacy of the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia. This study uses a bibliometric method with a quantitative-descriptive approach to analyze the global landscape of research on public distrust toward the police and its implications for strengthening the legitimacy of the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia. Data obtained from Crossref, Scopus, and Google Scholar for the 2020–2025 period using the keywords "police," "legitimacy," "trust," "distrust," and "public perception." The analysis was carried out through network analysis, co-occurrence mapping, and density visualization using VOSviewer. The results of the study show that global research is still focused on the issues of police legitimacy, public perception, and law enforcement, while public distrust has not been studied as an independent variable. Research representation in developing countries, including Indonesia, is still minimal, indicating a contextual gap and the dominance of developed countries' perspectives. Implicitly, this study emphasizes the need to reposition public distrust as an independent conceptual construct and encourage police reform based on procedural fairness by design, transparency through accountability analytics, and strengthening citizen engagement to build public trust and strengthen the institutional legitimacy of the police.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the political communication of H. Syamsul Arifin, SE in building a positive image among cross-ethnic communities in North Sumatra. As a region with a high degree of ethnic diversity, politics in North Sumatra requires an inclusive communication approach capable of embracing various community groups. Within this context, H. Syamsul Arifin is recognized as a political figure who successfully developed a leadership image accepted by multiple ethnic groups, earning him the title Friend of All Ethnicities. This makes it compelling to further examine the political communication strategies he employed. The study adopts a qualitative approach using case study and discourse analysis methods, focusing on Syamsul Arifin’s political communication in diverse settings, including mass media, direct interaction with the public, and political campaigns. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and observation. The findings indicate that the success of Syamsul Arifin’s political communication was rooted in his ability to build interpersonal communication, sensitivity to local culture, and dialogical approaches that prioritized feedback from the community. His strategies reflect the two-way symmetrical communication model (James Grunig) and high-context communication (Edward T. Hall), which highlight the importance of cultural context in delivering political messages. Communication barriers such as ethnic differences, social stereotypes, and perception gaps were effectively addressed through participatory approaches, the use of local cultural symbols, and the involvement of community leaders. Indicators of success include cross-ethnic acceptance, increased political participation, and the establishment of public trust in his leadership. These findings reinforce the importance of culture-based political communication in plural societies.

Abstract

This empirical legal study examines the implementation and urgency of the consignment mechanism in the Ngawi Islamic Court to secure post-divorce alimony payments. Using statutory and sociological approaches, the research finds that the mechanism helps safeguard iddah, mut'ah, madhiyah, and child support while protecting both parties’ legal rights. However, inconsistent implementation and the absence of a clear statutory basis create legal uncertainty. The study concludes that formal regulation of consignment in the Islamic court system is essential to ensure legal certainty, effective enforcement of post-divorce financial obligations, and stronger protection of women’s and children’s rights.

Abstract

is study examines the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) with the theme Voice of Democracy at SMA DEK Padang as a vehicle for cross-curricular political education. Political education is considered crucial for shaping young citizens who are knowledgeable, critical, and participatory in democratic life. However, it often remains limited to cognitive aspects, neglecting democratic practices and participatory skills. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research collected data through interviews, participatory observation, and questionnaires involving teachers, student council administrators, and eleventh-grade students. The findings reveal that the Voice of Democracy project provided students with meaningful experiences in understanding and practicing democracy through activities such as election simulations, open debates, campaign design, and collaborative decision-making. These activities successfully integrated multiple subjects, including Civic Education, Indonesian Language, and Visual Communication Design, enriching students’ political literacy, communication, and creativity. Moreover, the project fostered deliberative participation, negotiation skills, and political efficacy, as students not only learned concepts theoretically but also experienced democratic processes in practice. The reflection stage enabled critical evaluation, encouraging students to internalize values of justice, tolerance, and responsibility. Despite challenges such as uneven student engagement and cross-subject coordination, the project demonstrated significant potential in developing democratic attitudes and participatory skills. Ultimately, this study highlights the strategic role of schools as agents of political education in the Merdeka Curriculum era, showing how project-based learning can transform abstract democratic principles into lived experiences for students.

Abstract

This research aims to comprehensively examine the ratio decidendi of Constitutional Court (MK) Decision Number 60/PUU-XXII/2024, focusing on its relevance to the theory of electoral justice. This research uses a descriptive-analytical normative legal approach, a literature review of primary and secondary legal materials, and an in-depth qualitative analysis. The main findings indicate that Constitutional Court (MK) Decision Number 60/PUU-XXII/2024 marks a fundamental paradigm shift in determining regional head nomination thresholds, moving from a seat/vote acquisition basis to a population size basis, which aims to reconstruct procedural and distributive justice in the electoral system. This shift addresses distortions in nomination access that previously favoured established parties, creating a more level playing field and enhancing representation and choice for voters. The usefulness of this research is to help understand how nomination thresholds can cause procedural injustice and how judicial intervention can correct these distortions. By examining the shift in thresholds to a population basis, this research highlights how the Constitutional Court's decision can change the philosophy of nominations, encourage healthier participation and competition, and strengthen the legitimacy of election results. It also shows how court decisions can reshape the distribution of political opportunities.

Abstract

Cyber warfare has become a significant threat in the current digital era, with an increasing number of cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure and national defence systems. As cyberattacks continue to evolve and impact various sectors, this study aims to explore a new dimension of modern warfare that has not been extensively documented in Indonesia's official war history. The primary focus of this study is to document and analyse cyber conflicts as a form of new warfare history, which is becoming increasingly relevant in the digital world. A comparison between physical warfare and cyber warfare is conducted to examine the differences in impact, actors, and strategies employed in both forms of conflict. In addition, the study also examines the weaknesses in Indonesia’s cyber defence structure over the past decade and provides recommendations for developing a stronger and more adaptive cyber defence doctrine. Through a historiographical approach and critical analysis, this study is expected to contribute to the development of Indonesia’s digital defence foundations and the formulation of a more adaptive cyber defence doctrine to enhance Indonesia's preparedness in facing future cyber threats.
