2025-02-16T07:24:19+07:00

Election fraud is one of the crucial issues that can damage the integrity of democracy in Indonesia. This study aims to critically examine various forms of election fraud from the perspective of the Election Law, especially how existing regulations regulate prevention, supervision, and handling. Using a juridical-normative approach, this study analyzes related legal provisions, including Articles in Law No. 7 of 2017 concerning Elections, and their relevance to implementation in the field. The results of the study indicate that although regulations have been designed to create honest and fair elections, weaknesses in aspects of law enforcement, supervision, and transparency are still loopholes for violations. In addition, the involvement of political figures and the weak legal awareness of the community have exacerbated this problem. This study recommends strengthening regulations, optimizing technology-based supervision, and political steps to the community as strategic steps to prevent election fraud in the future.

2025-02-16T07:31:18+07:00

This article examines the importance of antitrust policy and the protection of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in creating economic justice in Indonesia. MSMEs serve as the main pillar of the national economy, contributing more than 60% to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and absorbing around 97% of the total workforce. However, MSMEs face various challenges, such as difficulties in accessing capital, technological limitations, and monopolistic practices by large companies that hinder their growth. The implementation of Law No. 5/1999 on the Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Law No. 20/2008 on MSMEs is essential to create a healthy competition climate and provide necessary protection for MSMEs. Cooperation between these two policies is expected to improve access to financing, technological support, and strict law enforcement against monopolistic practices. With this cooperation, MSMEs are expected to innovate, improve competitiveness, and make a greater contribution to inclusive and sustainable economic growth. This article emphasizes the need for collaboration between government and stakeholders to ensure that all businesses, both large and small, have a fair chance to thrive in the national economy.

2025-02-16T07:28:05+07:00

The Trias Politica, a concept first introduced by Montesquieu in The Spirit of Laws (1748), is an important foundation for modern democratic systems of government. The separation of powers into three main branches-legislative, executive, and judicial-aims to prevent the concentration of power that could lead to abuse of authority. However, the absence of an effective Trias Politica can have a significant impact on political stability, public trust, and government accountability. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach to analyze the phenomenon of the absence of the Trias Politica in the global and national contexts. The results show that the non-optimal implementation of the Trias Politica, such as in Indonesia, creates major challenges, including weak legislative oversight, compromised judicial independence, and executive policies that are not in favor of the people. Reforms to the system of government are needed to ensure an effective balance of power and guarantee justice and political stability.
