KONSEP DAN IMPLEMENTASI IDEOLOGI PANCASILA DALAM PERUMUSAN KEBIJAKAN PEMERINTAHAN

Abstract

ABSTRACTThe Pancasila that has been agreed upon by the Indonesian people as a state ideology in regulating the life of the nation and state always experiences challenges and tests on the socio-political situation and the conditions of the times which are constantly changing. As an open ideology, Pancasila implies that the basic values of Pancasila are expected to be developed and form the basis of formulating government policies in accordance with the dynamics of life in society and nation to achieve the goals of the country. In the practice of state and government since the old order, the new order and the reform order, the existing philosophical values of Pancasila are considered not enough to have an assessment index to be implemented in the operationalization of rules in formulating government policies, where the interpretation of Pancasila values is always different -different in formulating government policies for each government regime. Even Pancasila is always only used as a “jargon” by every regime in power in maintaining its power against parties that are critical or not in line with the politics of the ruling regime. As a result, Pancasila always loses its essence, because every government regime always builds its own discourse about the essence of the meaning of Pancasila, which is adjusted to its political interests. Even in the course of reform in Indonesia since 1998, Indonesia has become a “Pancasila” state under the guise of Liberal Capitalism. The application of neoliberal government policy has never been questioned, whether it is appropriate or not with the values of Pancasila. Even though later, the problem of new style authoritarianism and new style corruption in the liberal era arose, again the value and meaning of Pancasila was again interpreted to adapt the current liberal capitalism system.. The method with the coalition process between the executive and political party parties in the legislature coupled with “political” support of capitalist holders of capital gave birth to a coalition to secure the interests of each party, as a result of the legislative and executive (President) directly elected by the people as representatives of government power holders, become ineffective, in guaranteeing the welfare of the people because of the hostility of government power with the interests of capitalists who have supported it. Then where is the concept and implementation of social justice for all Indonesian people ....?
