Politics Policy Indonesia's Moving A New Capital City To East Kalimantan: Its Impact On The Environment, Marginalization Of Local Communities, And Under The Shadow Of The Oligarch Interest

This paper discusses the political policy of President Joko Widodo's government to move Indonesia's national capital from Jakarta to East Kalimantan. This controversial decision has sparked debate among various stakeholders, both domestically and internationally. The official justification for relocating the capital is Jakarta's overpopulation, severe traffic congestion, and flooding problems, along with the goal of fostering economic development and income equality outside Java. However, these reasons are overshadowed by significant political and business interests, particularly those of foreign investors, due to East Kalimantan's rich natural resources. These underlying interests drive President Joko Widodo's determination to proceed with the capital relocation amidst domestic economic and political challenges. The project exacerbates socio- economic inequality and national debt, benefiting a few oligarchs at the expense of many. Additionally, the relocation project has resulted in massive environmental damage, displacing tens of thousands of hectares and disrupting the lives of indigenous communities, such as the Balik tribe. This project erodes local wisdom and social systems that have existed for generations. The capital relocation is heavily influenced by Chinese business interests, facilitated by Government Regulation No. 12 of 2023, which provides a legal framework for investor control for 190 years. This regulation is seen as more exploitative than colonial practices of the past. Internationally, the project has drawn criticism for its environmental destruction amid global concerns about climate change. Ultimately, the New Capital City Relocation Mega Project raises critical questions about who truly benefits and who suffers from this massive undertaking.

Land Management Rights Before and After the Government Regulation in Lieu of Job Creation Law

There are regulations regarding land management rights (HPL) in Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation in Government Regulation in Lieu of Law Number 2 of 2022 concerning Job Creation. The background is the birth of the Investment policy made by President Joko Widodo's Government. HPL is regulated separately as a “right”, whereas in the Basic Regulations on Agrarian Principles (UUPA) which is the source of law, there is no mention of “rights”. Related to the authority of the State's Right to Control (HMN). The Government Regulation transfers HPL as a whole to certain parties. There should be a role for regulators and operators participating in planning, implementation and supervision. Therefore, there must be clarity on the position of the authority “controlled by the state” for HMN constitutionally against HPL in Government Regulations that refer to the constitution. In a normative legal approach, Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution mandates the state to conduct beleid, bestuursdaad, regelendaad, beheersdaad, tezichthoudensdaad. Philosophically, the government functions as a regulator and operator. As an operator, the Government carries out its duties as a coach and supervisor by directly implementing activities. This is confirmed in the Decision of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia Number 001-21-22-PUUI 2003 on HMN. Suppose HPL in the Government Regulation is released. In that case, it is not much different from embracing the concept of nachtwachternstaat or night watchman state, not the principle of welvaarstaat which fully utilizes the control of wealth sources for the greatest prosperity of the people. As it should be, HPL in HMN can provide direction for law enforcers and stakeholders with a role and authority in the land acquisition process.

Constitutional Retrogression in Indonesia Under President Joko Widodo's Government: What Can the Constitutional Court Do?

This paper examines whether constitutional retrogression, the process through which democratically elected rulers use formal legal measures gradually to undermine democracy, has occurred in Indonesia, especially during the reign of President Joko Widodo. To this end, the paper analyzes the impact of the Widodo government's policies on three fundamental requirements of a democratic state: a democratic electoral system, rights to speech and association, and the rule of law.

While Indonesia's democracy may yet be saved by the Constitutional Court, an institution that Widodo's government has until now failed to control, the Court cannot save democracy by itself. Its chances of doing so will depend on public support.
