IJCS 2 No2 2009 The Face of Law Supremacy: A Media Content Analysis on Artalyta’s Luxurious Prison Case on The Jakarta Globe Newspaper Rino Febri STIKOM the London School of Public Relations-Jakarta Ariesa Lie A professional Abstract This research looks at the potrayal of the Indonesian government, particularly the law en- forcement institution that was responsible for the luxurious prison case of Artalyta and some other wealthy inmates. This issue came to surface when a sudden inspection was conducted by a newly established Judicial Mafia Eradication Task Force on Sunday, 10 January 2010 at Pondok Bambu Penitentiary. The discovery of the inspection was actually no big sudden as it has become a public secret. However, it still disgraced the image of the government since the media blew this issue up and eventually gained public’s attention. This research used a quantitative media content analysis method. This method used numbers as the basis of data interpretation and elaboration to the rel- evant theories. Precisely 53% of the total articles written contained unfavorable impressions of the Indonesian government. Government’s dishonest and corrupt were impressions appeared in the news. Nonetheless, some articles appeared favorable toward the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights as a result of strict action taken against corrupted officials.

  • Law and Politics of Constitutional Courts: Indonesia and the Search for Judicial Heroes / Stefanus Hendrianto
    “With rare exceptions, such as the courts headed by John Marshall and Earl Warren, it was not common until recently to explain the work-product of consti- tutional courts by focusing on their leadership. Now, however, a number of writ- ers have begun to emphasize the importance of the chief justice in guiding courts to be bold or cautious, expansive or restrictive, in their constitutional decisions. With his extensive knowledge and with great judiciousness, Stefanus Hendrianto has examined the important role of chief justices of the Constitutional Court of Indonesia. He shows convincingly that leadership can indeed make a major dif- ference in the emergence of constitutional doctrine, as he examines the work of the Court and compares it to similar courts elsewhere. This is an important work of comparative constitutional law and politics that will repay careful study.” Donald L. Horowitz, Duke University, USA and author of Constitutional Change and Democracy in Indonesia “This book is a major contribution to comparative constitutional studies. It pro- vides a crisp and authoritative account of the early jurisprudence of the Indonesian Constitutional Court, a highly active and creative court operating in one of the world’s largest democracies. It also offers a fascinating account of the role of Chief Justice Jimly Asshiddiqie as the leader of that court, and in doing so makes an important contribution to broader debates about the role of constitutional judges—and different styles of constitutional judging—in the consolidation of constitutional democracy.” Rosalind Dixon, UNSW Sydney, Australia “This fascinating study of the Indonesian Constitutional Court introduces an entirely new concept for understanding judicial power: the judge as a heroic figure.

  • Making Presidentialism Work: Legislative and Executive Interaction in Indonesian Democracy
    Making Presidentialism Work: Legislative and Executive Interaction in Indonesian Democracy Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Djayadi Hanan, M.A. Graduate Program in Political Science The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: R. William Liddle, Adviser Richard Paul Gunther Goldie Ann Shabad Copyright by Djayadi Hanan 2012 i Abstract This study explores the phenomenon of executive – legislative relations in a new multiparty presidential system. It seeks to understand why, contrary to arguments regarding the dysfunctionality of multi-party presidential systems, Indonesia’s governmental system appears to work reasonably well. Using institutionalism as the main body of theory, in this study I argue that the combination of formal and informal institutions that structure the relationship between the president and the legislature offsets the potential of deadlock and makes the relationship work. The existence of a coalition-minded president, coupled with the tendency to accommodative and consensual behavior on the part of political elites, also contributes to the positive outcome. This study joins the latest studies on multiparty presidentialism in the last two decades, particularly in Latin America, which argue that this type of presidential system can be a successful form of governance. It contributes to several parts of the debate on presidential system scholarship. First, by deploying Weaver and Rockman’s concept of the three tiers of governmental institutions, this study points to the importance of looking more comprehensively at not only the basic institutional design of presidentialism (such as dual legitimacy and rigidity), but also the institutions below the regime level which usually regulate directly the daily practice of legislative – executive relations such as the legislative organizations and the decision making process of the legislature.

  • The Function of Judicial Dissent in Indonesia's Constitutional Court
    Constitutional Review, Volume 4, Number 1, May 2018 P-ISSN: 2460-0016 (print), E-ISSN: 2548-3870 (online) https://doi.org/10.31078/consrev411 The Function of Judicial Dissent in Indonesia’s Constitutional Court Simon Butt Sydney Law School [email protected] Abstract Indonesian judges are permitted to issue dissenting opinions. Constitutional Court judges regularly hand them down. However, neither judges nor academics have outlined the purposes of dissenting opinions in Indonesia. This article aims to promote discussion about what these purposes are, or should be, in Indonesia, with a view to increasing the utility of dissents. It begins by considering the international scholarly literature details some purposes recognised in other countries, such as increased transparency and accountability, but also some disadvantages, such as the perceived weakness of a divided court. It then considers how the Constitutional employs dissents, before exploring some of the uncertainties and unanswered questions about dissents and their use in Indonesia. Keywords: Constitutional Court, Indonesia, Judicial Dissent I. INTRODUCTION The judgments of Indonesia’s Constitutional Court often contain ‘dissenting opinions’ (pendapat berbeda). In them, one of more judges writes reasons indicating why they would have decided the case differently to the way a majority of the Court decided it. However, there is, to my knowledge, no consensus amongst Indonesian judges and academics about the significance and purpose of dissents. In one sense, this is unsurprising: publishing dissenting opinions alongside majority or other opinions in a single judgement document have long been a feature of the common law tradition. Yet Indonesia is a civil law country.
