Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Pela Gandong culture as social capital in the inter-village relationship between Tihulale and Kailolo from a sociological perspective. Pela Gandong is a form of local wisdom in Maluku society that functions as a value system binding solidarity, trust, and cooperation among communities. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach, with data collection techniques including observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results show that Pela Gandong plays a significant role as social capital in strengthening social cohesion, minimizing conflicts, and fostering harmonious relationships not only between Tihulale and Kailolo but also among other villages in Maluku, each with its own unique forms of Pela and Gandong ties. Values such as trust, shared norms, and social networks are key elements in sustaining inter-village relationships in Maluku. Furthermore, this cultural system serves as an effective local wisdom-based conflict resolution mechanism within a multicultural society. However, modernization and social change pose challenges to the internalization of these values, particularly among the younger generation. Therefore, efforts to preserve and revitalize Pela Gandong culture are essential to maintain its relevance in contemporary social life. This study emphasizes that Pela Gandong is not merely a cultural tradition but also a strategic social force in strengthening social integration and solidarity in Maluku society.

Abstract

An internship program is a form of experiential learning designed to bridge academic theory with professional practice, particularly in the fields of government administration and public policy. This study was motivated by the importance of students’ understanding of the operational mechanisms of regional legislative bodies and the dynamics of public political participation within the North Sumatra Provincial Regional Representative Council (DPRD). This study employs a descriptive qualitative method using direct observation during internship activities, documentation, and analysis of institutional activities at the Secretariat of the North Sumatra DPRD. The objective of this study is to understand the role of the DPRD Secretariat in supporting legislative, budgetary, and oversight functions, while also analyzing the dynamics of student political participation as reflected through demonstrations within the DPRD environment. The results of the study indicate that the internship program provides practical experience for students in understanding government administrative processes and the mechanisms of regional legislative work. In addition, this study also found that the student demonstrations that took place at the North Sumatra Regional Representative Council (DPRD) constitute a form of political participation and social control over public policy, reflecting the role of students as agents of change in democracy. To reduce the potential for conflict between students, security forces, and government institutions, it is necessary to strengthen political communication and institutional dialogue mechanisms, as well as to improve policy literacy among students so that political participation can take place more constructively within the democratic system.

Abstract

This research is motivated by legal problems wherein victims of crimes often fail to receive actual economic recovery, despite court decisions having obtained permanent legal force. The problem becomes increasingly difficult when the defendant experiences insolvency (inability to pay) or when the proceeds of crime are instead forfeited to the state. This study aims to construct a just mechanism for the execution of evidence by granting Preferential Rights to victims over the rights of the state and other creditors. The research method employed is normative legal research using a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, and a comparative approach. The theoretical framework utilized consists of John Locke's Theory of State Moral Obligation, Richard Posner's Economic Analysis of Law, and Guido Calabresi's concept of Loss Alleviation. The results indicate that the absence of Preferential Rights regulations in both the New Criminal Code (KUHP Baru) and the New Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP Baru) causes legal uncertainty and economic inefficiency that harms victims (secondary costs). This thesis offers a legal reform idea in the form of applying "Victim's Preferential Rights" in the execution of seized evidence and a "Right of Option" for victims to choose between restitution in kind (goods) or liquidation (money), in order to realize substantive restorative justice.

Abstract

This research examines the legal certainty of Dishonorable Dismissal (Pemberhentian Tidak Dengan Hormat/PTDH) for members of the Indonesian National Police, considering its significant impact on employment status, administrative rights, and professional dignity. The study aims to analyze the normative regulation of PTDH and evaluate its implementation based on Administrative Law principles, including legality, authority, procedure, the General Principles of Good Governance, and legal protection. This research employs a normative legal method with a qualitative approach through literature studies of statutory regulations, legal doctrines, and relevant court decisions concerning PTDH disputes. The findings reveal that PTDH regulations have a sufficient legal foundation through the Law on the Indonesian National Police, Government Regulations on police member dismissal, the Law on Government Administration, and Police Regulations concerning the Professional Code of Ethics. However, implementation remains problematic due to inconsistencies in sanction enforcement, limited transparency, inadequate protection of defense rights, and potential violations of good governance principles. These findings indicate a gap between existing legal norms and administrative practices. Therefore, strengthening standard operating procedures, ensuring objective examination processes, guaranteeing administrative appeal rights, clarifying legal considerations in decisions, and optimizing internal and judicial supervision are necessary to ensure PTDH is carried out fairly, proportionally, transparently, and accountably within the framework of a rule-of-law state.

Abstract

This research analyzes the practice of money politics in the Tual City Regional Head Election (Pilkada) from the perspectives of Indonesian positive law and Islamic criminal law. Money politics constitutes a violation of democratic principles and the principles of honest and fair elections. Normatively, Indonesian positive law has prohibited money politics through Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections and Law Number 10 of 2016 concerning the Election of Governors, Regents, and Mayors. However, the implementation of law enforcement in Tual City has not been optimal due to evidentiary constraints, low public participation, and a transactional political culture. From the perspective of Islamic criminal law, money politics is categorized as risywah (bribery) which is forbidden (haram) because it contradicts the principles of justice ('adl), trustworthiness (amanah), and honesty. This research employs an empirical normative legal method with statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Data were obtained through literature review and in-depth interviews with 14 informants from the General Election Commission (KPU), the Election Supervisory Body (Bawaslu), religious leaders, community leaders, academics, and the people of Tual City. The findings indicate that economic factors, low levels of political education, and patron-client culture are the primary causes of the persistent practice of money politics. Addressing money politics requires a comprehensive approach through firm law enforcement, sustained political education, strengthening moral and religious values, and improving community welfare.

Abstract

This study analyzes the dynamics of child custody (hadhanah) in Algeria and Indonesia through a comparative examination of legal regulations and social practices in both countries. This topic is important because post-divorce child custody is closely related to the protection of children’s rights, legal certainty, and the application of the principle of the best interests of the child. The study employs a normative legal research method with a comparative law approach. Data were collected through a literature review of legislation, Islamic legal literature, scholarly articles, and relevant legal documents. The findings indicate that both Indonesia and Algeria use Islamic law as a foundation in regulating hadhanah, although their legal constructions differ. In Indonesia, the Compilation of Islamic Law prioritizes custody rights for mothers for children who are not yet mumayyiz. In contrast, Algeria, which is strongly influenced by the Maliki school of thought, provides more detailed rules regarding the hierarchy of custodians and custody conditions. In practice, both countries face similar challenges, including custody disputes after divorce, considerations of child welfare, and changes in modern family structures. Nevertheless, the best interests of the child remain the primary principle in custody decisions. The study concludes that differences in hadhanah regulations are shaped by variations in Islamic jurisprudence, national legal systems, and social contexts, highlighting the need to strengthen child protection mechanisms.

Abstract

Elections are the primary instrument in a democratic system, functioning as a means to realize popular sovereignty and legitimize political authority. However, election implementation in Indonesia continues to face several challenges, including money politics, elite domination, low-quality political participation, and democratic practices that tend to emphasize procedural aspects rather than substantive justice. This study aims to analyze electoral reconstruction from the perspective of Islamic constitutional law, focusing on its opportunities, challenges, and implications for improving the quality of democracy in Indonesia. The research uses a normative legal method with conceptual and literature-based approaches by examining relevant legal sources and scholarly works. The findings show that electoral reconstruction can be carried out by strengthening the principles of shura, trustworthiness, justice, public participation, transparency, and accountability in election management. This reconstruction offers considerable opportunities because Islamic constitutional values are generally consistent with democratic principles. Nevertheless, its implementation faces obstacles such as pragmatic political culture, elite dominance, money politics, and limited public political awareness. Overall, electoral reconstruction based on Islamic constitutional values can improve democratic quality, strengthen electoral integrity, and promote a more just political system oriented toward public welfare.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between religion and the state from the perspective of Islamic political thought and its implementation within Indonesia's constitutional system. The study aims to explain the fundamental principles, forms of implementation, and implications of the relationship between religion and the state in Indonesia's national and state life. The research employed a qualitative library research method by reviewing various sources, including books, scientific articles, academic journals, and relevant laws and regulations related to the research topic. The findings indicate that, from the perspective of Islamic political thought, the relationship between religion and the state is based on the concept of tawhid, which recognizes Allah as the ultimate source of values and law, while affirming the role of human beings as khalifah responsible for promoting justice, public welfare, and societal prosperity. In the Indonesian context, this relationship is implemented in an integrative manner through Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia as the foundation of national and state life that upholds religious values while preserving diversity. The relationship between religion and the state contributes positively by strengthening morality, ethics, and social stability. However, it also has the potential to generate the politicization of religion, intolerance, and conflict if not managed wisely. Therefore, strengthening religious moderation, ensuring fair law enforcement, and promoting education that fosters the values of tolerance are essential to achieving a harmonious, democratic, and just society.

Abstract

. Surrogacy practices in Indonesia have created a conflict of legal norms between the doctrine of mater semper certa est, as stipulated in Article 250 paragraph (3) of the Indonesian Civil Code, and the new provisions introduced under Health Law No. 17 of 2023. This normative legal research aims to compare the regulation of surrogacy in Indonesia, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom in order to identify an appropriate legal solution to the existing normative conflict. The analysis demonstrates a fundamental similarity among the three jurisdictions in permitting altruistic surrogacy, particularly arrangements that do not involve commercial compensation. However, a significant difference is found in the legal mechanisms used to determine and transfer maternal status. In the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, the transfer of legal motherhood requires a court ruling issued after the child is born. In contrast, Indonesia adopts a conceptual and administrative transfer mechanism established from the beginning of the surrogacy agreement based on the principle of lex specialis. Although these new regulations provide a clearer legal basis for recognizing the intended mother, future challenges will involve synchronizing civil registration systems and harmonizing implementing regulations to ensure legal certainty and effective application in practice.

Abstract

The rapid development of information technology has contributed to the emergence of various forms of electronic transactions, one of which is live shopping, which combines product promotion and purchasing activities through digital platforms. Although conducted without direct physical interaction between sellers and buyers, live shopping transactions still create legal relationships that generate rights and obligations for the parties involved. This study aims to analyze the validity of live shopping transactions from the perspective of the consensualism principle in Indonesian contract law, examine the legal position of electronic evidence as a means of proof, and identify legal protection and dispute resolution mechanisms available in cases of breach of contract. This research employs a normative legal research method using statutory and conceptual approaches. Data were collected through library research by examining laws and regulations, legal literature, scientific journals, and other relevant legal sources. The findings indicate that live shopping transactions constitute valid electronic agreements as long as they fulfill the legal requirements of a contract as stipulated in Article 1320 of the Indonesian Civil Code. The principle of consensualism serves as the basis for the formation of legal relationships through the mutual consent of the parties, even when conducted electronically. Furthermore, the Electronic Information and Transactions Law recognizes electronic documents and electronic information as legally valid evidence, thereby providing legal certainty in dispute resolution. Therefore, live shopping transactions possess the same legal validity and legal consequences as conventional transactions.
