Legal Politics and Dynamics of the Formation of Laws and Regulations Number 12 of 2011

Abstract

Legal politics is one of the vital aspects in the stage of law formation because every law certainly cannot be separated from the influence of political negotiations that accompany it. The political guidelines of national law include the ideals of the nation, the goals of the state, the basis of the state, and efforts to protect the entire nation. This study comprehensively examines the Politics of Law and the Dynamics of the Formation of Laws and Regulations Number 12 of 2011 concerning the Formation of Laws and Regulations. The purpose of the research is to analyze the background, formation process, and legal and political implications of the law in the context of the legal system in Indonesia. The research method used is normative juridical with a statute approach and a conceptual approach. Primary data sources are obtained from official legal documents, discussion minutes, and academic manuscripts, while secondary data comes from legal literature, journals, and related scientific publications. The results of the study show that Law Number 12 of 2011 is a political and legal product that reflects systematic efforts to improve the procedures for the formation of laws and regulations in Indonesia. This law provides a more comprehensive legal basis for the legislation process, starting from planning, drafting, discussing, ratifying, and promulgating laws and regulations. The research reveals several important dynamics in the formation of the law, including philosophical, sociological, and juridical considerations behind the birth of the regulation.
