Legal Politics Economic Democracy in Indonesia

Abstract

This research aims to explain process of developing the Indonesian nation in this global era requires a strong economic system so that the general welfare of the people can be realized following the state objectives listed in the Fourth Paragraph of the Preamble of the 1945 Constitution. To realize these state objectives are further regulated in Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution (Post Amendment). Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution provides a foundation for building and developing the Indonesian economy. Apart from that, it can also be used as a filter by the government and the people of Indonesia in dealing with the negative impacts of the development of liberalization in the world economy in the 21st century. However, the Indonesian economic system which is based on Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution, at the level of implementation regulated by law, is not in line with the goals of the state and the interpretation of Article 33 of the Constitution itself, in the end, it is often not achieved in building and realizing an Indonesian economy that can realize people's welfare or people's prosperity. This is because the legal politics of the legislators wrongly designed the implementation of legal products in the Indonesian economic system which is based on a family economy called cooperatives which is difficult to materialize and is only for certain interests.

Convergence of green and sustainable principles from the perspective of economic democracy in Indonesia

“…According to M. Wildan Humaidi, the interpretation of economic democracy is intricately linked to the provisions of state control, which are central to the essence of Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution. He elaborated that the embodiment of the five functions of state control has become a pivotal decision by the Constitutional Court in evaluating the constitutionality of other laws against the standards set by Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution (Sujono and Nasution, 2023). This underscores that beyond the Constitutional Court's interpretation of state control, the fundamental aim of Indonesian economic democracy is to maximize the prosperity of its people.…”
