Journal of Law and Legal Reform, 2(2), 135- 156. https://doi.org/10.15294/jllr.v2i2.46622 ABSTRACT The employment relationship (employee-employer) is often one of the relationships that often creates legal problems, be it in the aspects of payroll, employment status, or termination of employment relations. This study is to describe and analyze the work relationship and obligations of the parties at PT. Esa Putlii Prakarsa Utama, as well as to find out the factors inhibiting the implementation of work relations at PT. Esa Putlii Prakarsa Utama. The method used in this research is sociological juridical by analyzing various legal regulations as well as examining behaviors and direct relationships based on understanding the law in terms of social symptoms. This study shows that the working relationship at PT. Esa Putlii Prakarsa Utama occurs because of an indefinite work agreement (PWKT). However, the entrepreneur's actions take action against the law because he has violated Article 60 paragraph (2) of Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower where employers pay wages below the minimum wage during the probationary period of work, this is null and void by law. Then regarding the rights and obligations of the parties, in principle, the obligations of workers are rights that must be accepted by employers, and vice versa, the obligations of employers are rights that must be accepted by workers. The rights and obligations of the parties can be found in labor laws, company regulations, and

    Indonesia's Accountability Trap: Party Cartels and Presidential Power after Democratic Transition Dan Slater1 Idolization and "Immediate Help!": Campaigning as if Voters Mattered On July 14, 2004, just nine days after Indonesia's first-ever direct presidential election, a massive inferno ripped through the impoverished, gang-infested district of Tanah Abang in central Jakarta. Hundreds of dwellings were destroyed and over a thousand Jakartans were rendered homeless. While such catastrophes are nothing unusual in the nation's chaotic capital, the political responses suggested that some interesting changes are afoot in Indonesia's fledgling electoral democracy. The next day, presidential frontrunner Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) took a break from watching his burgeoning vote totals at the five-star Borobodur Hotel to visit Tanah Abang's fire victims. Since he had just clinched pole position in Indonesia's run-off presidential election in late September, SBY's public appearance made fantastic copy. The handsome former general comforted distraught families, then crept, head and shoulders protruding through the sunroof of his campaign minivan, through a swarm of star-struck locals. Never mind the knock-off reality-television program screening for talent just a few miles away at the swanky Semanggi shopping complex; here, in one of Jakarta's least swanky settings, appeared to be the true Indonesian Idol. 1 This article draws on a comparative project with Marc Craighead, conversations and collaboration with whom have been invaluable in refining the theoretical arguments presented here. It has also greatly benefited from the thoughtful comments of Jamie Davidson, Dirk Tomsa, and an anonymous reviewer at Indonesia; the savvy and sensitive editing of Deborah Homsher; and generous fieldwork support from the Academy for Educational Development, Emory University, and the Ford Foundation.

  • One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: the Retrogression of Governance Reform and Anti- Corruption Measure in Indonesia 1999–2001
    One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: The Retrogression of Governance Reform and Anti- corruption Measure in Indonesia 1999–2001 VISHNU JUWONO* 1 Faculty of Administrative Science, Universitas Indonesia Prajudi Atmosudirdjo Building Lt. 2, Kampus UI Depok, West Java, 16424 Indonesia E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRAK Terdapat harapan yang tinggi terhadap pemerintah yang baru saat Gus Dur dipilih menjadi presiden oleh Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat (MPR) pada tahun 1999 un- tuk mendorong reformasi tata kelola dan inisiatif anti-korupsi yang lebih signifikan, mengingat Presiden Gus Dur dan Wakil Presiden Megawati merupakan tokoh utama oposisi di era Orde Baru masa Presiden Soeharto. Tulisan ini mencoba melakukan eva- luasi dari berbagai inisiatif reformasi tata kelola dan anti-korupsi yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah Indonesia pada tahun 1999–2001. Argumen yang tertera dalam artikel ini adalah terdapat sebuah kesempatan untuk mendorong inisiatif yang lebih progresif dalam hal reformasi tata kelola dan inisiatif anti-korupsi, di mana terdapat pemimpin politik yang mendapat dukungan rakyat yang kuat melalui proses pemilihan umum yang jujur dan adil dengan diangkatnya Gus Dur dan Megawati Soekarnoputri sebagai Presden dan Wakil Presiden oleh Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat (MPR). Namun kare- na persaingan politik yang begitu keras di antara para elite politik untuk memperoleh aset negara demi kepentingan kampanye politik 2004, membuat kemunduran dalam beberapa area terkait reformasi tata kelola seperti reformasi yudisial. Kata kunci: reformasi tata kelola, anti-korupsi, politik Indonesia, presiden Indonesia ABSTRACT There were high hopes that Gus Dur, after being appointed by the People Consultative Assembly (MPR) in 1999, would bring significant governance reform and more pro- gressive anti-corruption measures for the first time because two top leaders (Gus Dur and Megawati) were from the opposition in the New Order era.

  • REORGANISING POWER in INDONESIA: the POLITICS of OLIGARCHY in an AGE of MARKETS Richard Robison and Vedi R
    ‘Russia and the other transition economies have taught us that policy change involves a struggle over assets and that market-oriented reform can be hijacked to sustain, or even generate, new structures of power and corruption. In this powerful and historically rich book, Robison and Hadiz make the same point for the Indonesian oligarchy, showing its tremendous resilience in the face of a variety of external and internal pressures, from the IMF to the democratic opposition.’ Stephan Haggard, University of California San Diego, USA ‘[This] is the first study to spell out the nature of the relationship between a national oligarchy and the global market place. As such it is not only an important empirical study, it also represents a major critique of the neo-classical understanding of development that prevailed throughout the late 20th century.’ Richard Higgott, Editor, The Pacific Review ‘Vedi Hadiz and Richard Robison argue that what is taking place in Indonesia is the reorganization of the power relations incubated within the Soeharto regime rather than their fundamental transfor- mation, and that democratizing was instituted for the survival of the interests nurtured under Soeharto's rule as the institutional structures of the New Order became unviable. A must read for anyone inter- ested in Indonesia and “third world” transformations.’ Takashi Shiraishi, Kyoto University, Japan REORGANISING POWER IN INDONESIA Reorganising Power in Indonesia is a new and distinctive analysis of the dramatic fall of Soeharto, the last of the great Cold-War capitalist dictators, and of the struggles that are reshaping the institutions and systems of power and wealth in Indonesia.

  • Emergence of Human Rights Activities in Authoritarian Indonesia: the Rise of Civil Society
    EMERGENCE OF HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVITIES IN AUTHORITARIAN INDONESIA: THE RISE OF CIVIL SOCIETY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Takeshi Kohno, B.A., M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor R. William Liddle, Adviser Professor Marcus Kurtz ____________________________ Professor Craig Jenkins Adviser Political Science Graduate Program ABSTRACT My dissertation focuses on the activities of the human rights organization LBH (Lembaga Bantuan Hukum, the Legal Aid Institute) in Indonesia as a case study to assess its role in the rise of civil society, and possibly democratization. I argue that the academic foci on democratization so far have been upon, in general, the importance of large macro-structures and political elites. In particular, socioeconomic, cultural, and structural variables are treated as critical determinants of democracy. As for the micro-level approach, the political elites are the major players, at least for the short-run “transition” and “consolidation.” Although the macro-level variables and political elites are important, there are critical links between the macro- level variables and micro-level variables, which have been left unexamined. The existing literature on civil society fails to specify possible formation processes of a civil society in different political settings, and merely provides an ideal typology. In this dissertation, I propose a new approach to understanding the property and the dynamic workings of civil society by examining the state-society relations in authoritarian Indonesia between 1990 and 1998. I describe the interaction between the state and the society, as well as how social actors in their relationship to the state find ways not only to survive in an authoritarian regime but also to actively influence the state.

  • Komnas Ham 1993-1997 Pergulatan Dalam Otoritarianisme
    KOMNAS HAM 1993-1997 PERGULATAN DALAM OTORITARIANISME Pratikno Cornelis Lay Kata Pengantar arakter dasar rejim Orde Baru yang mulai dibangun 1965 tidak bisa dipisahkan dengan represi politik dan kekerasan. KPelanggaran HAM yang melibatkan negara sebagai pelaku hampir tunggal, dengannya, menjadi akibat wajar yang bisa di- bayangkan oleh orang awam sekalipun. Karakter ini diekspresi- kan dengan dibentuknya operasi militer dalam kehidupan sehari-hari melalui lembaga semacam Opsus, Kopkamtib dan sejenisnya, dan juga melalui peradilan anti-subversi yang tidak jelas definisinya. Aparatur negaramemonopoli tafsir tentang kebenaran yang pada gilirannya membuka pintu selebar-lebarnya bagi pelanggaran HAM oleh negara. Proses pembentukan dan kiprah Komnas HAM selama 1993- 1997 merupakan kasus menarik untuk memahami pergeseran peta politik di Indonesia di paruh waktu Orde Baru. Inilah untuk kali pertama, pemerintah orde baru mulai membuka peluang bagi bergulirnya gagasan universalistik tentang HAM yang sebelumnya senantiasa ditentang keras. Inilah kali pertama Indonesia berminat untuk masuk ke dalam Komnas HAM PBB. Dan untuk kali pertama pula bergulir gagasan pembentukan Komnas HAM yang presiden Suharto sendiri berusaha untuk Komnas HAM 1993-1997 Pergulatan dalam Otoritarianisme | iii tidak mengintervensinya. Padahal, penegak HAM di Indonesia kala itu sangat identik dengan peradilan dan kontrol terhadap aparatur negara. Kehadiran Komnas HAM tidak semata-mata menggabarkan terjadinya peningkatan kepedulian terhadap penegakkan HAM, namun juga menggambarkan terjadinya peningkatan tekanan politik internasional dan domestic terhadap Orde Baru pada saat itu. Bahkan, pada tataran tertentu, ia menggambarkan pula terjadinya fragmentasi politik yang menguat di inter-nal Negara. Semua ini memberikan ruang bagi kehadiran Komnas HAM lengkap dengan segala reputasinya. Buku ini lebih banyak menyorot tentang kemampuan Komnas HAM untuk terbebas dari intervensi Negara.
