Abstract

This study aims to analyse Indonesia’s legal and economic responses to the global trade tensions triggered by the United States–China tariff war, with a particular focus on their impact on Indonesia’s export-import structure, supply chain efficiency, and foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows. Employing a normative juridical method, supported by a policy and law-and-economics approach, this research examines international trade law frameworks, ratified agreements, and national policies in the context of global disruptions. The findings reveal that Indonesia, while not directly involved in the tariff conflict, has been significantly affected through rising production costs, decreased export competitiveness, and increased vulnerability of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in sectors such as textiles. Although trade agreement ratifications (e.g., RCEP, AFTA) offer strategic potential, bureaucratic inefficiencies and legal uncertainty continue to hinder optimal implementation. The study concludes that while Indonesia has adopted several adaptive measures such as market diversification, import substitution, and investment law reforms, structural challenges remain. To strengthen its role in global supply chains and enhance long-term resilience, Indonesia must integrate trade policy with regulatory enforcement, infrastructure development, and MSMEs empowerment. Recommendations include harmonising national trade regulations with international standards, optimising trade agreement benefits, and ensuring policy consistency across sectors.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the implementation of social security for workers in the transportation sector in Banjarnegara Regency and identify obstacles in its implementation. The study's contribution lies in strengthening the literature on social protection for informal workers who are at high risk but have minimal protection. The research method employed in this study is a qualitative approach, utilising empirical legal research techniques through interviews, observations, and document studies. The study's results indicate that the level of worker participation remains low due to limited legal literacy, economic constraints, and inadequate supervision. Complicated registration and claim procedures are also major obstacles. The study's conclusion confirms that the program has not been running optimally, despite already having a strong legal basis. Recommendations submitted include increasing education, simplifying procedures, subsidising contributions, and strengthening synergy between agencies and worker communities. These efforts are important to realise fair and equitable work protection in the regions.

Abstract

This study aims to compare the Constitutional Court of Indonesia (Mahkamah Konstitusi Republik Indonesia or MKRI) and the French Constitutional Council (Conseil Constitutionnel) in terms of their historical foundations, legal authority, structural composition, and judicial review mechanisms. The objective is to assess their effectiveness in upholding constitutional governance and propose adaptive models for better protection of fundamental rights. The research method employs a normative juridical approach, incorporating statutory, conceptual, and analytical perspectives. It analyzes primary and secondary legal materials, including constitutions, statutory laws, court decisions, and doctrinal writings. The study focuses on positive legal norms and compares the implementation of judicial review practices in both legal systems using a qualitative analysis framework. The study reveals key differences in the scope and timing of constitutional review: Indonesia employs a posteriori review, which permits legal correction after enactment, while France utilises a priori review to prevent unconstitutional laws before promulgation, later supplemented by the Question Prioritaire de Constitutionnalité (QPC) for limited a posteriori review. Structurally, the Indonesian Court is a judicial organ, while the French Council functions more as a political-legal oversight body. The novelty lies in proposing a hybrid model that incorporates both a priori and a posteriori mechanisms to strengthen constitutional protection, particularly for Indonesia, by recommending the integration of preventive review authority within its existing system.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology has brought Indonesia into the era of digital manipulation, giving rise to various new social problems. This situation reveals the weaknesses and unpreparedness of the national legal system in responding to such challenges. A modern legal framework is therefore required to effectively address the need for legal protection amid the dynamics of the digital era. This research aims to analyze the capacity of Indonesia’s legal system in addressing challenges arising from digital manipulation and to explore the relevance of responsive law theory as a framework for reform. This study employs a normative juridical method with a descriptive specification. The approaches used include the statute approach, to examine legislative frameworks, and the conceptual approach, to analyze the relevance of legal theories in the context of digital manipulation. The findings indicate that Indonesian law has not yet optimally addressed the impacts of the digital manipulation era, particularly due to weak regulations, limited responsiveness, and limited mechanisms for public protection. Responsive law theory is viewed as an appropriate framework for building a modern legal system, as it emphasizes legal reform, flexibility, justice based on public interest, public participation, and openness and transparency. This research contributes to improving the effectiveness of Indonesian law in responding to the challenges of the digital manipulation era. Its implementation requires political commitment, regulatory harmonization, and active public engagement. This research recommends revising and harmonizing digital regulations, strengthening legal literacy and education, and institutionalizing legislative audits based on responsive law indicators. Future studies should empirically test responsive law in practice to ensure that Indonesia’s legal system remains adaptive to challenges posed by digital manipulation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal orientation and future potential of the Nipah Reservoir in Sampang, Madura, within the framework of Indonesia's energy transition and commitment to achieve Net Zero Emissions by 2060. The main contribution of this research lies in the proposal to reinterpret reservoirs that have historically been geared toward irrigation, raw water supply, and tourism, transforming them into renewable energy projects that support both national energy sovereignty and environmental sustainability. Using juridical-normative methods through legislative and conceptual approaches, this research was enriched with electrical engineering literature and primary data through interviews with the President Director of Perum Jasa Tirta I. The results of the study show that although the Nipah Reservoir is not listed in the PLN 2024-2033 or 2025-2034 RUPTL, it has significant potential to be developed into a Microhydro Power Plant (PLTMH) and/or a Floating Solar PV. This utilization not only reduces Madura's dependence on fossil-based electricity supplies from Java but also contributes to achieving the target of a new renewable energy mix of 23% by 2025. This study concludes that the reinterpretation of the legal framework is essential to align old irrigation-oriented regulations with modern renewable energy policies. The recommendation of this study is for the government to issue more comprehensive regulations and to integrate the Nipah Reservoir into national energy planning as a model for locally based renewable energy development.
