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 in 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 statutory approach, which examines legislative frameworks, and the conceptual approach, which analyzes the relevance of legal theories to 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 grounded in the 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 (Solar PV) plant. This utilization not only reduces Madura’s dependence on fossil-fuel electricity from Java but also helps achieve 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 that the government issue more comprehensive regulations and integrate the Nipah Reservoir into national energy planning as a model for locally based renewable energy development.

Abstract

The status of couriers as expedited employees often raises legal issues, especially regarding fulfilling their rights as workers in the context of labour law protection in Indonesia. These legal issues are then exacerbated by enacting the labour copyright law, which is detrimental to many workers. This study aims to determine the implementation of the work agreement between the expedition company and the courier. This research analyses the work contract model between couriers and expedition companies in Pamekasan Regency. This research uses empirical legal research methods conducted at several expedition companies in Pamekasan. The result of the research is that the expedition company chooses to be financially responsible in implementing the employment contract with the courier, where the model of employment contract applied by the expedition company to the courier is a certain time employment agreement (PKWT), which is renewed every year, so there are several things that the company can avoid including severance pay, employee leave, overtime pay, and health insurance facilities.

Abstract

Sampang is an area that has the largest salt field in Madura. But the existence of abundant salt fields does not make it a developed region. Sampang has consistently been a disadvantaged area. Thus, predictably, there are various problems regarding salt in Sampang. This issue needs to be studied, especially on legal issues that hinder the development of the salt industry in Sampang. To answer this problem, empirical legal research methods are used to explore and identify legal problems that occur in the field related to salt issues. The results and discussion in this study revealed that there are at least three main problems that hinder the progress of the salt industry perspective of salt farmers in Sampang Regency. The three main problems are the absence of regional regulations on aquaculture, the absence of regional policies that support salt pricing that benefits farmers, and the absence of policies on the implementation of regional duties in the field of providing facilities and infrastructure that support the development of the salt industry in Sampang Regency.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Rokat Pandhaba tradition within Madurese society as a local legal system, employing Clifford Geertz’s interpretive-anthropological approach. It specifically explores the tradition’s normative dimensions, enforcement mechanisms, and its interaction with legal pluralism in Indonesia. The study offers a theoretical contribution by expanding the understanding of Indonesian customary law through Geertz’s thick description, as well as a practical contribution in the form of policy recommendations for the recognition of local legal systems within the framework of national legal pluralism. The research adopts a qualitative methodology using a legal ethnographic approach within an interpretive paradigm. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation across several regions of Madura and analyzed using the thick description method. The findings reveal that Rokat Pandhaba functions as a local legal system characterized by normative elements (customary obligations), sanction mechanisms (both social and supernatural), and a structure of communal authority. This tradition regulates relationships among families, communities, and the spiritual realm, while simultaneously maintaining social order and collective solidarity. Rokat Pandhaba represents a form of living law that dynamically interacts with Islamic law and state law. Accordingly, this study recommends the formal recognition of local legal systems within national legal policy to strengthen an inclusive, context-sensitive model of legal pluralism.

Abstract

Environmental crimes in Indonesia are increasingly recognized not only as violations of legal norms but also as social and ecological harms affecting communities and ecosystems. However, the existing framework of environmental criminal law remains largely formalistic, emphasizing administrative violations and statutory illegality while insufficiently addressing the broader dimension of socio-ecological harm. This research examines how a zemiological perspective can contribute to the reconstruction of environmental criminal law in Indonesia through a comparative legal study. Using a normative juridical method with statute, conceptual, and comparative approaches, this study analyzes Indonesian environmental criminal law alongside developments in Belgium, the European Union, Argentina, Scotland, and the Philippines. The findings demonstrate that Indonesian law continues to rely on formal legality and weak corporate accountability, whereas comparative jurisdictions increasingly recognize severe environmental harm, ecocide, and collective victimization as bases for criminal responsibility. The contribution of this research lies in three main aspects. First, it develops a zemiological framework as a new theoretical basis for evaluating environmental criminal law beyond formal statutory violations, emphasizing social and ecological harm as the central criterion for criminalization. Second, it provides a systematic comparative legal analysis that identifies normative gaps between Indonesian law and emerging global models of harm-based environmental criminal law. Third, it proposes a conceptual model for reconstructing environmental criminal law in Indonesia by integrating the principles of social harm, the recognition of ecocide, and strengthened corporate liability.

Abstract

The implementation of digital technologies in the healthcare system for children has a lesser but still noticeable effect on the health systems of Nigeria and Uganda. Digital tools such as electronic pediatric health records, tele-pediatric, m-health apps, and data-driven diagnostic platforms have been implemented. However, children's vulnerability in the digital healthcare domain has been significantly increased by the new technologies. The research scrutinizes the current insufficient and disorganised legal and ethical systems that control child digital healthcare in Nigeria and Uganda. The research employs a doctrine-based method, utilising the PRISMA Guide to systematically identify, screen, and analyse relevant laws, policies, and academic literature on children's rights. The results indicate that both countries have generic health and data protection laws that can be applied to digital health in general, but regulations and ethical standards (such as consent, data privacy, cybersecurity, parental authority, and professional liability) specific to children remain underdeveloped and poorly enforced, specifically in Nigeria. The study makes the case for child-friendly digital health legislation, clear consent standards, rigorous institutional oversight, and regional collaboration to ensure children's rights and welfare in digital healthcare systems.
