Rivin, Chair Hugh D. Spitzer, Co-Chair Walter J. Walsh Mark E. Cammack Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Law ©Copyright 2017 Andy Omara University of Washington Abstract Protecting Economic and Social Rights in a Constitutionally Strong form of Judicial Review: The Case of Constitutional Review by the Indonesian Constitutional Court Andy Omara Chair and Co-Chair of the Supervisory Committee Professor Beth E. Rivin and Professor Hugh D. Spitzer School of Law The 1999-2002 constitutional amendments to Indonesia’s Constitution inserted some important features of a modern constitution. These include the introduction of a comprehensive human rights provision and a new constitutional court. This dissertation focuses on these two features and aims to understand the roles of this new court in protecting economic and social rights (ES rights). It primarily analyzes (1) factors that explain the introduction of a constitutional court in Indonesia, (2) the Court’s approaches in conducting judicial review of ES rights cases, (3) Factors that were taken into account by the Court when it decided cases on ES rights, and (4) the lawmakers’ response toward the Court’s rulings on ES rights. This dissertation reveals that, first, the introduction of a constitutional court in Indonesia can be best explained by multiple contributing factors –not a single factor.

Foto: Ari Saputra Jakarta - Curhat Gubernur NTB TGH Zainul Majdi alias Tuan Guru Bajang (TGB) ke Menko Kemaritiman Luhut Pandjaitan dipertanyakan Ketua Badan Hukum Partai Demokrat (PD) Ferdinand Hutahaea mengapa anggota Majelis Tinggi PD itu tak curhat ke Ketum PD Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) soal dukungannya untuk Presiden Joko Widodo. Sesama kader PD yang mendukung Jokowi, Ruhut Sitompul membela TGB. "Pak TGB itu kan manusia juga, karena Pak SBY itu apa-apa Agus (Harimurti Yudhoyono) yang dinaikkan. Tuan Guru Bajang juga manusia yang dia juga punya elektabilitas, loh. Tapi nggak pernah dibahas oleh Demokrat," ujar Ruhut saat berbincang dengan detikcom, Selasa malam (10/7/2018). Ruhut adalah politikus PD yang lebih dahulu mendukung Jokowi, bahkan sejak Pilpres 2014. Saat itu, PD memilih jadi partai penyeimbang sehingga tak masuk ke poros manapun. "Aku kan 2014, dia (TGB) baru 2018, beda dong masalahnya," ujar Ruhut. Soal TGB yang memilih curhat ke Luhut, Ruhut menilainya wajar. Menurut Ruhut, itu bagian dari tradisi masyarakat Batak meski TGB berasal dari NTB. "Kita bicara adat Batak dong.

  • The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS)
    ISLAMIST PARTY, ELECTORAL POLITICS AND DA’WAH MOBILIZATION AMONG YOUTH The Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) in Indonesia Noorhaidi Hasan UIN Sunan Kalijaga, Yogyakarta - Indonesia Abstract: The involvement of the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS, Partai Keadilan Sejahtera) in the electoral democratic system in Indonesia raises a question whether it is possible for a political party with a deeply religious ideology to liberalize and entertain democracy. The decision to enter politics does not infrequently entail an abandonment of ideological purity. It represents an acceptance of the political order and power sharing-based politics. While identity and ideology are instrumental in political mobilization for PKS, it has no choice but to negotiate and interact with other political actors through coalitions and parliamentary politics. A modern party involved in a competitive and rule-based system, it is also required to broaden its electorate and reach out to non-Islamist voters. It is intriguing in this context to explore the party’s strategy to maintain its Islamist platforms and the base of support while allying itself with distinctly non-Islamist ruling elites, and engage in the pragmatic ruling coalition. Understanding the paradoxical roles of an Islamist party when involved in the on-going electoral democratic process, this paper also looks at the future of political Islam in Indonesia. Keywords: Islamism, PKS, Election, democracy. Introduction Indonesia’s political system has undergone transformations in recent years as a result of the opening

Given all of this, it deserves special mention that the Aceh Peace Accord, a matter of concern for many years, was actualized, due in part to the effects of the earthquake and tsunami. Exposure of corruption developed into an investigation of the top level of the Supreme Court, and direct elections of heads of local governments were held, in continuation from the 2004 direct presidential elections, without any major confusion. The Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) administration increased its stability, engaged in full-scale diplo- macy, endeavored to promote trade and investment, and worked to boost the image of the administration. The economy in 2005 grew at 5.6 percent, which exceeded the 5.1 per- cent growth of the previous year and satisfied the goal of 5.5 percent in the medium-term development plan.
