Abstract

This study analyzes the shifts in decentralization in Indonesia from time to time. The decentralization system itself has a crucial role in developing regional needs. However, it had triggered abuse by the Chiefs of the Region. This was responed by amendment to Law No. 22 of 1999 on Regional Government with Law No. 32 of 2004 on Regional Government. However, the present law has brought about a shift in decentralization which ssentially accommodates the broad authority of the regional government in the typology of regional autonomy to fade. This was strengthened when the enactment of Law No. 23 of 2014 which divides concurrent powers that should belong to the regional government to the central government. This study uses normative research methods, as well as statutory approach. The results of the study concluded that: (1) there is a decrease in the meaning of decentralization because concurrent affairs are centralized in Law No. 23 of 2014 concerning Regional Government. (2) Weakening the role of the DPD thereby reducing decentralization. Therefore, this study recommends: (1) returning the concurrent affairs absolutely to the regions; (2) strengthening the role of the DPD to in return strengthening the decentralization and accommodating the regional needs.
