Indonesia as a legal welfare state: A prophetic-transcendental basis

Abstract

Introduction The modern welfare state concept is based on individualistic and liberal social contracts that prioritize individual interests with liberalist, partial and non-holistic hegemonies. The welfare state concept has failed in directing citizens to achieve justice, peace, and welfare. The basic aim of the Republic of Indonesia's formation is to form a welfare country. But the Indonesian constitutional articles do not have the power to form a welfare society compared to those of other states, such as Norway, Japan, the USA, and Malaysia, whose constitutions aim to achieve welfare. Objective This research aims to explore the formulation of Indonesia as the Prophetic Transcendental-Based Legal Welfare State. The urgency of this research is on the effort of model invention, or a new postulate on the form of the Indonesian Legal Welfare State. Methods This is normative-juridical research with a philosophical approach to find and explore the formulation of Indonesia as the Prophetic Transcendental-Based Legal Welfare State. Conclusion This research found that as a Legal Welfare State, Indonesia inspirits Pancasila as the moral-spiritual guidance in all developmental policies on the national law, economy, politics, and culture. Thus, the direction of the state's development is inseparable from its roots, namely the prophetic and transcendental Pancasila. Novelty The previous researches discussed Indonesia as a welfare state only based on the determining legislation or laws. But this research discusses the philosophical aspect based on the thoughts of Indonesia's founding fathers.

The Ideal Construction of Legal Ownership of Land Rights in the Administrative System of the National Land Agency

“…Since the beginning of the commitment to establish the Republic of Indonesia, the founders of this country have understood the socio-economic and cultural structure of the Indonesian people, the majority of whom live in rural areas and are mired in poverty. They also had extensive knowledge and insights regarding the theories and schools of thought that were developing in the world at that time (Dimyati et al, 2021). This deep understanding inspired the founding fathers when they agreed on the understanding of a welfare state based on the Pancasila state, the 1945 Constitution, and was further elaborated in Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Agrarian Regulations, which was an important milestone in the political history of national agrarian law because the legal product contains a strong political determination to dismantle the colonial-style land tenure structure into a control and utilization structure that can create prosperity for all Indonesian people (Hage & Ningrum, 2022).…”
