Abstract

The presidential cabinet system adopted by the Indonesia people has its own characteristics, namely the presidential cabinet system that is paired with a free multi-party system. The impact of the choice of system turned out to hamper the performance of the presidential cabinet, because of the many interventions of the coalition party members to the ministers who were in the cabinet. Not to mention that many laws and regulations have narrowed the President’s space in carrying out his authority that originated in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Of course, the state and conditions of the constitution like this, severely hampered the cabinet in realizing its vision and missions. This paper will examine how to make the Indonesian presidential cabinet system work effectively.

Summary

Introduction

In the period of 1966 to 1998, the simplification of political parties was carried out via fusing the parties so that there were only three parties competing in every election In this era, the implementation of a presidential government system was combined or paired with a very limited multi-party system. During the eras of Old Order and New Order, the implementation of presidential government was effective and stable due to the simplification of political parties, the strong character of the national leadership, and the presence of centralized power in the hands of one president which tended to be executive-heavy. Two main problems emerge: (1) How does the multiparty system affect the formation of the cabinet? (2) How effective is the presidential cabinet system in Indonesia?
