Abstract

Indonesia’s public policy landscape has recently been marked by mass mobilizations opposing the Constitutional Court Law amendment, the Broadcasting Bill, regional election law revisions, and the Nusantara Capital City development. This study examines the state capture phenomenon where political and economic elites shape policy for narrow gains and the role of mass action as an informal democratic critique mechanism. A descriptive-analytical multiple-case study methodology was employed, triangulating policy documents, theoretical literature, and media reports. Analysis identifies five indicators of state capture: weakened accountability institutions, opaque legislation, pro-elite policymaking, nepotism, and legal dominance. Findings reveal that these policies form an interlocking strategy undermining judicial independence and press freedom while consolidating political power. In response, online and offline social movements deploy issue framing around democracy, corruption, and human rights to mobilize broad public support. The study confirms that mass action serves as a vital check-and-balance for safeguarding Indonesia’s constitutional democracy resilience.

Abstract

Islamic monetary policy faces unique challenges in a dual banking system due to the prohibition of interest and reliance on profit-sharing mechanisms. This study reviews the transmission effectiveness of instruments such as FASBIS, PUAS, SBIS, and SukBI in controlling inflation and promoting real output growth in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Pakistan. The literature indicates that although Islamic instruments exhibit greater quantitative impact, their response lags behind conventional policy. Limited secondary sukuk market depth and sensitivity to conventional interest rates hinder independent transmission. We recommend synergies between Islamic fiscal tools (zakat and waqf) and monetary measures, diversification of profit-sharing instruments, and fintech innovations like blockchain-based Smart Sukuk to strengthen market inclusion and liquidity. Cross-country regulatory harmonization is also essential for enhancing Islamic instrument efficacy. These findings offer a public policy framework adaptive to the structural diversity of Muslim-majority countries and aligned with maqāṣid al-sharī’ah objectives.

Abstract

The appointment of Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa as Indonesia's Finance Minister in late 2025 marked a significant philosophical transition from a conservative fiscal policy to an aggressive, expansionary model aimed at stimulating economic growth. This study critically analyzes the initial implementation of this policy package using a descriptive-analytical qualitative method based on secondary data from official government reports. The findings reveal a substantial gap between the ambitious pro-growth rhetoric and the slow realization of state budget absorption and tax revenue. Key initiatives, such as the "Quick Win" programs and the IDR 200 trillion liquidity injection into state-owned banks, face significant implementation challenges, including structural hurdles, weak credit demand, and potential risks of moral hazard and problematic governance. Although the debt management strategy shows continuity in its counter-cyclical prudence, incidents of operational discoordination between fiscal and monetary authorities have created market uncertainty. This study concludes that the policy's effectiveness is constrained by a disconnect between political breakthroughs and persistent structural realities.

Abstract

This study evaluates the implementation of a landmark Indonesian government policy: the abolition of the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) and its replacement with a super holding body, BPI Danantara, under Law No. 1/2025. This structural reform aims to enhance SOE efficiency, professionalism, and competitiveness by reducing bureaucracy and political intervention. Using a qualitative policy analysis method, this research examines the policy's rationale, legal framework, economic impact, and comparative standing with Singapore's Temasek Holdings. The findings indicate that while the policy is well-rationalized and supported by recent positive financial performance, its legal framework introduces significant governance risks. Specifically, it creates legal ambiguities regarding asset status and managerial accountability, potentially weakening anti-corruption measures. Furthermore, unlike the politically independent Temasek model, Danantara's direct accountability to the President may perpetuate political intervention. The study concludes that the reform's success is contingent upon addressing these critical legal and governance challenges.

Abstract

The 2020-2024 reform of the Indonesian National Police (Polri), despite its focus on instrumental improvements, is widely deemed unsystematic and ineffective in enhancing public trust and accountability. This failure is underscored by low public trust and the incompletion of approximately 50% of 580,000 public complaints. This article argues that the stagnation of reform is not due to a lack of internal initiatives but stems from a permanent structural weakness in the external oversight mechanism, the National Police Commission (Kompolnas). Employing an Institutional Policy Analysis (IPA) and normative-empirical legal research, this study finds that Polri's centralized command structure and strong esprit de corps render self-reform prone to conflicts of interest. Consequently, Kompolnas's current authority, limited to non-binding recommendations, is insufficient. The primary novelty of this research is the proposition of a 2025 Legislative Reform: a fundamental revision of the Police Law to transform Kompolnas into an oversight body with legally binding executive authority, thereby creating an effective institutional counterbalance to ensure accountability.

Abstract

This study examines strategies for improving public policy quality in Indonesia through an administrative law lens, focusing on the weak integration of normative and empirical aspects. Using normative legal research, the findings indicate that policy formulation is dominated by legalistic approaches, limited evidence-based implementation, and low public participation. These deficiencies frequently lead to maladministration and the criminalization of policies, which inhibits bureaucratic innovation. Moreover, the lack of Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) integration results in regulatory overlaps. The research concludes that enhancing policy quality requires internalizing the General Principles of Good Governance (AAUPB) and shifting toward substantive participation. This study offers a theoretical contribution by moving administrative law toward a preventive function. Practically, it provides recommendations for strengthening oversight and implementing digital platforms for engagement. By adopting these strategies, the Indonesian government can create more accountable, responsive policies that align with good governance standards and effectively mitigate future administrative legal disputes.

Abstract

The transition toward a sustainable bioeconomy in Indonesia is severely hindered by institutional governance failures rather than regulatory deficits. This study evaluates the structural bottlenecks within centralized governance and the policy capacity deficits of the state apparatus in driving circular economy transformations. Utilizing a multi-method qualitative design, this research integrates institutional policy analysis and socio-legal normative approaches. The findings reveal that extractive path dependence, scalar mismatches, and semantic hijacking have triggered severe policy lock-ins. Furthermore, the state bureaucracy exhibits acute analytical, operational, and political capacity deficits, rendering it captive to the hegemony of extractive industries. As a prescriptive intervention, this paper proposes the capability-based institutional reconstruction model. This framework advocates for executive meta-governance, durable legally binding designs, and polycentric tenure restitution for indigenous communities. Ultimately, accelerating this sustainable bioeconomy necessitates a shackled leviathan, a mission-oriented state rigorously constrained by democratic civic oversight to guarantee long-term ecological justice across the nation.

Abstract

Nigeria currently faces a critical structural paradox: immense agrarian potential is heavily overshadowed by severe food insecurity and high youth unemployment rates. Current state interventions, notably the N-Power program, consistently fail to provide structural exit strategies, operating merely as temporary symptom relief. Furthermore, deep sociocultural distortions alienate youths from agriculture, driving them toward the shadow economy. This study rigorously evaluates these institutional deficits and proposes a comprehensive policy roadmap. Employing a qualitative public policy analysis alongside a systematic literature review, this research actively synthesizes the Conceptual Triple E Model with prosocial orientation reforms. The findings reveal that addressing the agricultural crisis requires mitigating cognitive deficits through civic literacy, followed by smart vocational training and structural empowerment via land tenure redistribution. Ultimately, achieving sustainable food sovereignty and capitalizing on the demographic dividend mandates a holistic public policy framework that transforms destructive mentalities into a modernized agrarian work ethic for national development.

Abstract

Natural resource downstreaming policy became Indonesia's main economic transformation strategy. However, implementation triggers structural paradoxes and normative tensions between investment acceleration and the Green Constitution mandate. This research analyzes this transformation failure using a sociological approach through the lens of institutional governance and ecocracy principles. Results prove the policy is trapped in the hollow in the middle phenomenon, where absent midstream industries cause exports to be dominated by intermediate products. Defective licensing architectures create functional paralysis of state institutions, allowing foreign capital to operate without binding technology transfer obligations. Furthermore, asymmetrical power relations decentralize ecological burdens to local communities while centralizing corporate profits. This paper concludes the state must radically reconfigure its interventions. The offered solution is integrating absolute ecocracy clauses and mandatory technology transfers into licensing instruments to effectively ensure that economic sovereignty operates in perfect harmony with intergenerational environmental justice across the entire industrial supply chain ecosystem nationwide.
FDI Stabilization Clauses Post-Omnibus: Balancing State Control and Renewable Energy Investor Protection Cinta Melodia Ariyani Putri

Abstract

This article examines the systemic tension between foreign direct investment deregulation under Indonesia's Omnibus Law and the constitutional mandate of state control within renewable energy projects. Utilizing a normative doctrinal approach, this research thoroughly analyzes statutory frameworks, conceptual doctrines, and international arbitration jurisprudence to dissect the structural clash between investors' legitimate expectations and state sovereignty. The results demonstrate that conventional stabilization clauses acting as absolute freezing mechanisms precipitate regulatory chill, severely undermining the state's sovereign capacity to adapt to ecological crises without facing massive international arbitration claims under fair and equitable treatment standards. To legally resolve this dichotomy, this study recommends restructuring power purchase agreements by implementing a dynamic integrated stabilization clause. Rooted deeply in the rebus sic stantibus doctrine, this novel contractual mechanism incorporates environmental carve-outs, thereby safeguarding investors' economic equilibrium while definitively preserving the host state's inalienable right to regulate for sustainable development and national public interest effectively.
