Core Subject : Social,
Indonesia Law Review (ILREV) is an open access, double-blind peer-reviewed law journal. It was first published by the Djokosoetono Research Center (DRC) in 2011 to address the lack of scholarly literatures on Indonesian law accessible in English for an international audience. ILREV focuses on recent developments of legal scholarship, covering legal reform and development, contemporary societal issues, as well as institutional change in Indonesia. Realizing the global challenges and ever-increasing legal interaction among developing countries, ILREV also welcomes articles on legal development in the ASEAN region and the larger Global South. By that token, it aims to provide a platform for academic dialogue and exchanges of ideas between scholars and professionals, especially from the Global South. As such, ILREV encourages comparative, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and other approaches to law which can enrich the development of legal scholarship not only in Indonesia but also the Global South as a whole.

Abstract

Stefanus Hendrianto’s “Law and Politics of Constitutional Courts” is part of Routledge’s series titled “Comparative Constitutionalism in Muslim Majority States.” The book combines several narratives and themes. It summarizes the late 20th century political history of Indonesia. It describes the birth of the Indonesian Constitutional Court. It advances the idea of judges as prudential-minimalist heroes. It considers Aristotle and the scholarship of Mark Tushnet. It presents weird analogies to the IIliad, the Odyssey, and the heroic tales contained the epic Mahabharara. But primarily it is an extended legal biography of the Constitutional Court’s founding chief justice, Jimly Asshibbiqie. In a kind of extended epilogue, the book examines the impact of Justice Asshibbique’s successor, Chief Justice Mohammad Mahfud, as well as the legacy of the third-generation court from 2013 to present day.

The book presents a unique narrative that ventures into the dismay found within the the history of the 1965 anti-communist movement in Aceh. Although other source materials mostly focus on the history of the 1965 anti-communist killings around more popular areas such as Java and Bali, this book in particular represents a limited number of research regarding the purge outside the confines of Java.

Abstract

According to Apeldoorn to give a definition of the “law” is a difficult thing, but nevertheless provides a definition would be very valuable for those who just starting to learn something. One example is the definition of Commercial Code which is contained in the book by Purwosucipto. In his book, Purwosucipto said that the Commercial Law is a special law arising out from the Legal Engagement in the company activities. This severely limits the definition of Commercial Law only on the engagements aspects arising only from the activities of the company. But according to the Authors of this book, explanation about Commercial Law proposed by Purwosucipto needs to be expanded, not just limited to the Legal Engagement, but also covers all legal instrument written or unwritten, that governs all activities in the field of the trade.

Abstract

Toward a Progressive Public Prosecutor’s Office: a Study on Investigation, Prosecution and Adjudication of Criminal Acts of Corruption (The Book) is one of the reliable resources in capturing the real picture of Indonesian Law Enforcement Institution–namely Attorney General Offices (AGO)– for its centralistic bureaucracy nature. Written by Dr. Yudi Kristiana, S.H., M.Hum. (Yudi), the idea of The Book came in reaction to ‘the-never-ending’ corruption phenomenon, its massive impacts and the underlying problems to eradicate corruption. Choosing one of the important stake holder to fight corruption. The Book is providing several reasons why the AGO seems not fully-functioned and successful in serving the justice for the state. The (allegedly) fault mainly lies upon AGO’s conventional case-handling methods, which in general is bureaucratic and centralistic and adopts hierarchical accountability and the command system.

Abstract

The Indonesian civil law system is often taken for granted, when it is actually a product of “institutional transplantation” and inherited from the Dutch Colonization. Long before the arrival of colonial powers in Indonesia several centuries ago, many local communities had operated within their self-regulating systems with multiple political entities. When colonization came to power, however, there was a massive shift from judge-made law to a centralized statute-based legal system imposed by the colonial order.

Through a process of deliberation formulation of CSR model with the community, not just the interests of shareholders that can be accommodated but also the interests of stakeholders. Thus, CSR can actually be an instrument solvingto solve the global and local challenges.
