Reconstruction of Legislative Members' Term Rules Based on the Principle of Justice

The presence of the House of Representatives in Indonesia's constitutional system significantly supports the development of democracy, as they serve as the people's representatives and voice. Currently, it is essential to implement term restrictions for legislative members, primarily for societal benefit. This study addresses the following research problems: Why is the current rule of legislative members' terms not just? What are the weaknesses of the current legislative term rules? How should the rule of legislative members' terms be reconstructed based on the principle of justice? Employing a constructivism paradigm, this research uses a sociological juridical approach and a descriptive research type. Data sources include primary data from field research and secondary data from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. Data collection methods encompass observation, interviews, and literature study, with qualitative data analysis. The findings indicate that the current rule of legislative members' terms is unjust due to the lack of term restrictions, leading to increased risks of corruption, bribery, collusion, and nepotism. Weaknesses in existing rules on criminal sanctions for corruption, bribery are evident in the legal substance, structure, and culture. The legal substance lacks clear provisions on term restrictions, and the legal structure fails to address the urgency of implementing term restrictions for House of Representatives of Indonesia’s and Regional Representative Council members. Additionally, there is a need to raise public awareness about the importance of term restrictions for legislative members. The study suggests reconstructing criminal sanctions rules against corruption, bribery based on justice values, which involves revising both values and norms. This includes transforming previously unjust rules into just ones and amending the legislative term rules according to the principle of justice, as outlined in Law No. 7 on 2017 concerning General Elections, Articles 240(1) and 248.

Tinjauan Kritis Pergantian Antar Waktu dalam Dinamika Politik Indonesia: Perspektif Demokrasi

Inter-Time Change (PAW) in the context of Indonesian democracy is often in the spotlight in political dynamics. This research uses normative legal methods with a statutory approach to analyze the legal and political aspects of PAW.

Narrating Recruitment Model for Legislator Candidates: Is It Fair?

This research analyzes the problems of democratic and aspirational recruitment models and mechanisms for legislative candidates by political parties, aiming at formulating cadre-based recruitment arrangements that best represent democratic ideals. Using normative legal, conceptual, statutory and comparative approaches, this article argues that there are two principal recruitment problems. First, legal arrangement pertaining to methods, procedures, and requirements for the recruitment is generally absent from the statutory regulations. Second, the internal process of decision-making within the political party is generally undemocratic, owing partly to the pragmatism and power-oriented calculation of the elites within the party. Recommendation for ideal recruitment arrangements is thus proposed to ameliorate these problems. Among others, the recruitment by political parties must consider aspects of representativeness, ideological consistency, internal political party flow, development of career path-based cadre systems, and quota fulfillment. Additionally, political party cadre needs training to boost their skills in carrying out main duties and functions as a member of the Board People's Representatives

Democracy Crisis and the Rise of Datacracy

There is no permanent constitutional and political-legal system. Scientists also predict that the phenomenon of the rise of datacracy with big data and algorithms will replace the democratic system. In this research, the author aims to answer the following questions: (i) Why is democracy bound to be replaced by datacracy? (ii) what alternative options can be proposed to bridge the legal and political implications that might occur if datacracy replaces democracy? The author uses literature studies and an interdisciplinary approach to critique and offer ideas in this study. It is proposed, among other things, that datacracy will not eliminate people's sovereignty; instead, it will only narrow down democratic instruments such as people's representatives and political parties because they will no longer be needed. Such representative democracy is likely to become obsolete because the people will be able to actively participate in conveying their aspirations directly, without going through the people's representative system, by inputting their needs, interests, and various problems through the datacracy platform.

Methodologically, this research uses a Schutz phenomenological approach through in-depth interviews. Field research was carried out by taking research subjects, comprising eight female members of the legislature in the city of Surabaya. The results of the study revealed women's identity as a form of approved self-meaning: first, women’s identity as a female fighter. This identity offers a form of identity as part of tracking the struggle of gender fighters. The second is women’s identity as a people's fighters. The third is the identity of a great woman who has electability and credibility as people's representatives. The fourth is women’s identity as a superwoman. They stand to fight for their family’s welfare, a manifestation of the excessive burden of the domestic role that is their husband’s responsibility. The most powerful factors forming women's legal identity are family, political parties, community views and political interests. Many "women legislators" in Indonesia are still developing themselves and adapting to the modernization of political identity. In conclusion, the direction of identity change through self-definition is incompatible with the direction of progressive political change in political communication competence. The significance of this research will give an impact on the political system regarding the recruitment and regeneration process of legislative candidates in Indonesia in the future.

Political Parties and Women’s Representation in the Indonesian Parliament 2009-2019

As the transmission belt linking people's aspirations to the government, the political party has a crucial role in preparing actors to become candidates for people's representatives. Since the enactment of affirmative policies both in elections and internal parties, the number of women in parliament has never met the 30% quota as expected. During the ten years from 2009 to 2019, the number of women in the House of Representatives (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat, DPR) seats only ranged from 17-20 percent. This article examines the influence of political parties' characteristics on women's representation in the Indonesian parliament in the 2009-2019 period. This research uses four party characteristics by Sundström Stockemer as variables that will be analyzed through linear regression models. The research results show that the vote size variable is the only variable significantly influencing women's representation in parliament. The estimated trend of women's representation in parliament shows an increase in the upcoming 2024 elections. However, it is still far from the target of 30%. Hence, it needs a progressive affirmative policy in the form of reserved seats to encourage proportionality in the policy-making forum.

CHALLENGES FOR RIAU PROVINCE TOWARDS ASYMMETRIC DECENTRALIZATION

Riau Province is one of the areas rich in oil and other agricultural products. Therefore, Riau deserves to demand asymmetric decentralization as other places that have granted this decentralization right. The purpose of this paper is to explore the potential or things that are considered appropriate to be used as reasons why Riau Province has the right to be made special autonomy or asymmetric decentralization because specific areas that are rich in natural resources. This study uses a qualitative approach using a theory-based system where theory functions as a framework for understanding problems critically. The data collection tool used is the document method that the author collects. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that if viewed from the theory of UGM PLOD Research, Riau deserves asymmetric decentralization when viewed from historical and conflict factors, social and cultural factors, potential and economic growth factors, accelerated development factors, and government capacity. This was due to the joining of Siak Indrapura's work through Sultan Syarif Kasim II to the State of Indonesia and the abundant wealth of Riau. Meanwhile, the factors that do not support the above theory are geographical factors due to the separation of the Riau Islands from Riau itself. To support asymmetrical decentralization, quality resources from the people of Riau are needed so that the mentality of corruption can be removed. In addition, of course, the ability of the Riau people's representatives at the center to lobby the government so that asymmetric decentralization can be realized.

POLITICAL CRITIQUE OF AXEL HONNETH'S RECOGNITION OF JURGEN HABERMAS' DELIBERATIVE DEMOCRACY

The purpose of this paper is to express Honneth's critique of Habermas' deliberative democracy. This research uses qualitative methods that are critically analytical in comparing the thoughts of Habermas and Honneth. The theory used is the sociology of knowledge from Karl Mannheim's. In the sociological theory of knowledge Mannheim says that man and his existence in the social environment can not be separated from his environment, a subjectivity that knows there is always interference from the social, political environment in which he lives. The results of this study reveal that the deliberative criticism of Democracy echoed by Habermas still leaves problems. The problem in deliberative democracies hints at rational communication, yet everyone does not have the same knowledge of rationality. For the educated person he has communication and knowledge rationally, but for the unlearned person does not have it, so they must represent his voice. In the Indonesian context, deliberative democracy is still wishful thinking. The public space referred to by Habermas has not yet gained a place in Indonesia, because the representation system that is the hallmark of representative democracy can be said to be pseudo-representation because there is no proportional bargaining position between constituents and their people's representatives. As Honneth's critique of Habermas the weakness of deliberative democracy, Honneth offers a form of intersubjective relation based on three areas of recognition namely love, self-confidence, self-respect, solidarity.

Politik Hukum Partai Politik dan Pemilihan Umum

According to modern democracies, political parties and elections are institutions that cannot be separated from one another. Each Political Party will always try to gain great popular support during the General Election so that the People's Representative Institution is dominated by the Political Party concerned. General elections are people's parties which are a manifestation of the principle of people's sovereignty, so it is during elections that the people are given freedom in making political choices and attitudes through candidates for people's representatives who are members of Political Parties. The will of the people is the basis of government power. That will be born in periodic and honest elections conducted in general elections and in common with secret voting, by means of free and equal voting. Thus, freedom, honesty, secrecy and equality are essential in the administration of elections. Political, legal, political party and electoral policies in guarding democratization in Indonesia have undergone significant shifts over time. General elections are considered a real form of democracy and the most concrete form of public participation in participating in the administration of the state.

Analysis of the Closed Proportional Implementation Plan in the 2024 Election

General elections are very important to maintain people's sovereignty and Indonesian democracy. A good election must pay attention to the system and consider the advantages and disadvantages of the system used and find solutions to any deficiencies of the system used. This is because the system used by Indonesia is a country that uses a proportional election system. The proportional election system has been used in Indonesia since 1955. There are two forms of the proportional system that have been used in Indonesia, namely the closed proportional system and the open proportional system. The system currently used is an open proportional system. However, in 2019 the open proportional system caused many problems to occur. Therefore, in this study, researchers analyzed plans for closed proportional implementation in the 2024 election. This research uses a qualitative method, with a literature study approach. From this study, the researchers concluded that elections in Indonesia in 2024 must be based on the evaluation results of several past elections. Starting from constitutional orders, democracy, election budget, fraud, political costs, and human rights. There are fears that the current system will make people's political intelligence and democracy worse off. An open proportional system must be repaired internally in the recruitment of people's representatives. This can be the answer to the weaknesses of an open operational system.
