Abstract

The resilience of coastal communities in the Global South, including in Southeast Asia, in facing the impacts of climate change requires a responsive and adaptive environmental legal framework. Local wisdom serves as a strategic element in safeguarding the rights of coastal communities and enhancing their capacity to withstand environmental threats. This study examines how integrating local wisdom into environmental law can contribute to strengthening coastal climate resilience, particularly within the context of Indonesia and comparable jurisdictions in Asia. Employing normative legal research, this study adopts conceptual, legislative, and comparative approaches to highlight best practices and theoretical reflections. The findings demonstrate that policies recognizing and incorporating local knowledge into environmental law hold significant potential to support effective adaptation and mitigation efforts in coastal areas. Comparative analysis of policies across different countries in the region shows that embracing local wisdom can foster a more context-sensitive and sustainable legal framework. Accordingly, this study proposes that legal frameworks in developing countries should integrate local wisdom as an integral element of environmental law reform to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable coastal communities. The implications suggest that such integration is not only relevant for climate change adaptation but also for building more responsive, participatory, and effective environmental governance in the developing world.

Abstract

Emergency laws are often framed as necessary tools to respond quickly during national crises, but they also present significant risks to democratic structures. This paper explores how emergency powers can be used to centralize executive authority in Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. The purpose of this study is to analyze how legal frameworks enable or fail to restrict executive power during emergencies. Using a doctrinal legal research method, the paper examines constitutional texts, relevant statutes, and key political events to assess how emergency powers function in practice. Findings show that while all three countries demonstrate varying degrees of executive flexibility, Indonesia stands out due to its lack of clear legal limits and minimal oversight, while Thailand is riddled with normative inconsistencies and multiple avenues for its executive branch to weaponize the state of emergency. Vietnam, on the other hand, subordinates all branches of state power to the overarching control of the Communist Party, resulting in possible limited legal accountability and significant potential for unchecked executive action. The study emphasizes the need for stronger legal safeguards to prevent emergency powers from becoming a lasting feature of governance.

Abstract

Indonesia’s maritime influence constitutes a central pillar of security stability in Southeast Asia, particularly in the strategically significant waters of the Malacca Strait. This article examines Indonesia’s contribution to regional deterrence through three core research questions: (1) How does the Indonesian Navy’s capability shape its deterrence posture in the Malacca Strait? (2) What constraints hinder Indonesia from establishing a credible deterrence effect within the ASEAN security framework? and (3) How can Indonesia’s strategic location and maritime diplomacy be optimized to enhance regional stability?. Using a qualitative methodology that integrates expert interviews and document analysis, the study finds that Indonesia’s deterrence posture remains constrained by limited defense modernization, inconsistent strategic communication, and uneven policy execution. Furthermore, structural issues such as budgetary constraints and the consensus-based nature of ASEAN diplomacy have reduced Indonesia’s ability to respond effectively to maritime provocations. Despite these challenges, Indonesia continues to act as a stabilizing anchor within ASEAN’s maritime security architecture. The findings highlight that advancing naval capability, institutionalizing maritime diplomacy based on international law, and integrating legal and strategic frameworks are crucial to building a layered deterrence effect. Ultimately, Indonesia’s Global Maritime Fulcrum (GMF) vision can evolve into a coherent maritime defense doctrine—transforming maritime law from a regulatory instrument into a strategic tool that reinforces both national sovereignty and ASEAN’s collective resilience in an increasingly contested Indo-Pacific order.

Abstract

The implementation of patents by the government has become a national policy to control the spread of COVID-19 by helping drug supplies in emergencies and urgent situations. The purpose of this research is to analyse patent regulation by the government (Government Use) for pharmaceutical products in the state of emergency in Indonesia by comparing with Government Use in Malaysia. This research is legal research using secondary data with qualitative analysis. The implementation of patents by the government on the Covid-19 drugs remdesivir and favipiravir, whose application in Indonesia has been based on the provisions regulated by TRIPS and the DOHA Declaration. The implementation of this policy is due to a very urgent need in efforts to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic. Malaysia has also implemented the same policy to address the need to import a generic version of the Hepatitis C drug. It is hoped that the implementation of patents by the Government on the drugs remdesivir and favipiravir can facilitate access for Covid-19 patients who need them and can be an effective strategy to deal with the Covid-19 outbreak.
