Abstract

Economic inclusion among Deaf young people is frequently assessed in terms of formal employment, overlooking collective opportunities to apply vocational skills and engage in income-generating activities. This study examined how a corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative facilitated collective agency and economic participation within NOSATA, a community-based batik group in Tangerang Regency, Indonesia. A qualitative case study was conducted through a secondary analysis of interview data and program documentation collected during the 2025 Social Return on Investment (SROI) evaluation of Bercerita Dalam Hening. Thematic analysis was employed to examine structural barriers, enabling conditions, capability development, collective agency, and economic participation from 2022 to 2025. The findings indicated that mentoring, a dedicated production workshop, production technologies, institutional partnerships, and market access opportunities facilitated the translation of vocational skills into productive economic activities. Group membership increased from five active participants to 41 members, while the number of batik trainers rose from zero in 2023 to 16 in 2025. Reported annual batik sales increased from IDR 30.4 million to IDR 71.7 million, while income generated from training activities rose from IDR 6 million to IDR 30 million. These developments suggested the emergence of collective agency through knowledge sharing, collaborative resource utilization, and engagement with external stakeholders. However, continued reliance on institutional support constrained claims regarding organizational autonomy and long-term economic independence. The study concluded that economic inclusion extends beyond formal employment to encompass collective entrepreneurship, skill utilization, and community-based economic participation.

Abstract

Maritime transportation and port management play essential roles in strengthening Indonesia's interisland connectivity, economic development, and territorial integration. However, the existence of a comprehensive maritime regulatory framework has not consistently ensured effective law enforcement or equitable access to transportation services. This study examined the effectiveness of maritime law enforcement and identified legal arrangements necessary to support equitable and sustainable transportation connectivity. A normative legal research method was employed using statutory and conceptual approaches. Primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, supplemented by supporting empirical data, were examined through qualitative juridical analysis. The findings indicated that Indonesia's maritime regulatory framework was generally aligned with relevant international legal instruments, although its implementation remained constrained by fragmented institutional coordination, uneven supervisory capacity, infrastructure disparities, and inconsistent regulatory compliance. The Sea Toll Program (Tol Laut) expanded from three routes serving 11 ports in 2015 to 39 routes serving 104 ports by August 2025, accompanied by reported reductions in regional price disparities. Nevertheless, variations in port dwelling times, continued dependence on government subsidies, and limited utilization of return cargo capacity remained significant challenges to logistics efficiency and the equitable distribution of economic benefits. These findings suggested that regulatory harmonization alone was insufficient to ensure effective maritime law enforcement and sustainable transportation connectivity. The study concluded that strengthening maritime governance required consistent regulatory enforcement, improved institutional coordination, integrated port and logistics infrastructure, and the incorporation of justice and sustainability principles into maritime transportation policies to promote equitable connectivity across Indonesia's archipelagic regions.

Abstract

Foreign investment plays a significant role in Indonesia's economic development; however, preferential treatment granted to foreign investors raises concerns regarding fairness, regulatory clarity, and national economic sovereignty. This study aimed to formulate a regulatory reconstruction and revalidation framework for foreign investor privileges that balances legal certainty, substantive justice, and public welfare. The study employed a normative legal research method involving the examination of legislation, constitutional provisions, international investment agreements, and relevant legal literature. The analysis was grounded in John Rawls's theory of justice, Gustav Radbruch's conception of legal certainty, and Indonesia's constitutional economic principles. The findings identified ambiguities in eligibility criteria for investor privileges, fragmented institutional authority, insufficient requirements for contributions to the national economy, and inadequate mechanisms for periodic regulatory evaluation. The proposed reconstruction included establishing clear statutory eligibility criteria, linking investment privileges to measurable contributions to employment creation and technology transfer, strengthening institutional coordination, introducing defined validity periods, and operationalizing the concept of national interest through transparent legal criteria. The analysis further emphasized the importance of periodic reassessment of investment privileges by considering legal structure, legal substance, and legal culture, alongside economic sovereignty, resilience, and social welfare. The study concluded that integrating regulatory reconstruction with transparent, accountable, and adaptive revalidation mechanisms could provide a normative foundation for aligning foreign investor privileges with equitable and sustainable national economic development. Further empirical research is required to evaluate the proposed framework's institutional feasibility, compatibility with international investment treaty obligations, and practical effectiveness across different investment sectors.

Abstract

Rigid adherence to formal legality in criminal prosecution can marginalize victims’ recovery and restrict the use of penal mediation in Indonesia. This study aims to reconstruct the opportunity principle as a doctrinal basis for public prosecutors to discontinue prosecutions following successful restorative settlements. Normative legal research was conducted using statutory, conceptual, and philosophical approaches. Primary materials comprised criminal justice legislation and prosecutorial regulations, while secondary materials included scholarly publications and legal doctrines. Materials were examined through qualitative prescriptive analysis, deductive reasoning, and systematic and teleological interpretation. The analysis identifies a conceptual tension between the centralized opportunity principle and the need for restorative discretion at the local prosecution level. It proposes a micro opportunity principle that reorients prosecutorial discretion toward victims’ rights, reparation, and substantive justice. Under this construction, successful penal mediation could justify discontinuing eligible prosecutions, provided that objective eligibility criteria, transparency, and institutional oversight are established. The discussion suggests potential benefits for case management, correctional overcrowding, and judicial expenditure, although these outcomes require empirical verification. The study concludes that legislative recognition and supervisory guidelines are necessary to strengthen the legal certainty and accountability of restorative prosecutorial discretion while safeguarding against arbitrary decisions and ensuring meaningful protection for affected victims.
