The aim of this journal is to disseminate research, conceptual analysis, and other writings which focus on constitutional issues. Articles published by CONSREV cover various topics on constitution, constitutional courts, constitutional courts decisions and issues on constitutional law in any country. This edition provides six articles discussing various topics such as the empirical study of possible determinants of decisions of Indonesian Constitutional Court’s judges over the period 2003-2018, a comparative perspective on judicial review in Indonesia after the establishment of the Constitutional Court in 2003, the presidential impeachment happened in South Korea, the use of international human rights law as references in Indonesian constitutional adjudication, the constitutional retrogression in Indonesia during President Joko Widodo’s Government, and the role that should be presented by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia to harmonize the ideology of Pancasila in the Indonesia legal substance. The first article is written by Björn Dressel and Tomoo Inoue. The authors’ main discussion is about the megapolitical cases before the Constitutional Court Note From Editors of Indonesia since 2004. It is an empirical study which tried to find the possible determinants of the decisions of its judges over the period 2003-2018. Based on the analysis, authors found declining dissent among justices on the bench over time and also provides evidence of strategic behaviour of justices at the ending of their own terms. The next article written by Theunis Roux provides a comparative perspective on judicial review in Indonesia after the establishment of the Constitutional Court in 2003. A well-known story of the “transformation of American law” over the first half of the last century is provided as the introduction. At the end, the author proposed that the Court urgently needs to present a coherent account of its legitimate claim to authority if it is to continue playing an effective role. The third article is written by Jin Wook Kim. This paper aims to discuss how the Constitutional Court has developed its strategic position in terms of political dynamics, by analyzing the two presidential impeachment cases. Kim concludes that the recent two impeachment cases decided by the Constitutional Court of Korea, respectively in 2004 against President Roh and in 2017 against President Park might be classic examples of how the state institutions including the Court interact with other institutions in a very political case like presidential impeachment, in terms of political dynamics. Then, an article by Bisariyadi mainly talks about the use of international human rights law in Indonesian constitutional adjudication as reference. Additionally, this study also aims to answer the question of what underlies the Court to made reference to international human rights law. As the result of the study, the author mentioned that the practice of referring to international law demonstrates the open attitude of Indonesian constitutional justices to the universal nature of fundamental rights. The fifth article is provided by Abdurrachman Satrio. It mainly discusses the constitutional retrogression in Idonesia under President Joko Widodo’s Government. This paper examines whether constitutional retrogression, the process through which democratically elected rulers use formal legal measures gradually to undermine democracy, has occurred in Indonesia, especially during the reign of President Joko Widodo. iv Constitutional Review, December 2018, Volume 4, Number 2 Note From Editors Finally, an article written by Tedi Sudrajat focuses on the harmonization of regulation based on the value of Pancasila through the Constitutional Court of Indonesia. The finding of the study shows that the paradigm development of Pancasila based on legal state should demand the development of a democratic constitutional state, which juxtaposes the principles of a rule-of-law (nomocracy) with harmonious and complementary principles of the sovereignty
