e study is crucial as it addresses an understudied area, aiming to inform policymakers, foster collaboration, stimulate economic development, and promote sustainable growth. The methodology involved qualitative interviews with eight social entrepreneurs across Indonesia. Collected data was analyzed using content analysis techniques, facilitated by the MAXQDA platform. Findings indicate that despite social entrepreneurship being an emerging field in Indonesia, there is a notable lack of effective policies and regulations. Six of eight respondents perceived inadequate current regulatory support, and half cited financial challenges as a significant issue. Conversely, seven respondents acknowledged existing government assistance, suggesting a willingness to support the sector. Based on these results, key recommendations for the government to foster a supportive ecosystem include developing non-overlapping policies, implementing substantive policy changes, promoting useful policies, simplifying bureaucracy, and engaging in direct dialogue with social entrepreneurs. The research concludes that addressing these areas can empower social entrepreneurs to create lasting social impact. This study uniquely fills a gap by directly engaging social entrepreneurs, though future research should include government representatives for broader perspectives.
Abstract:Public procurement plays a pivotal role in driving economic development, particularly in developing nations like Ghana, where government spending accounts for a substantial 70% of the national budget, significantly impacting…
ting GDP. This study critically examines the impact of public procurement reforms, notably the Public Procurement Act of 2003 (Act 663) and its subsequent amendments, on Ghana's economic trajectory. These reforms were strategically implemented to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency in public resource management. Analysis of key indicators reveals a mixed landscape of outcomes. While the Act has demonstrably improved procurement processes, reduced instances of corruption by a significant 25%, and streamlined public spending efficiency by 15% over the past decade, persistent challenges remain. These include inadequate institutional capacity, inconsistent enforcement of legal frameworks, and limited stakeholder engagement, collectively hindering the full realization of the reforms' transformative potential. Employing a mixed-methods approach, including secondary data analysis and in-depth interviews with government officials, procurement professionals, and civil society representatives, this study provides critical insights. While procurement reforms have made tangible contributions to economic growth evident in an estimated 10% annual savings in government expenditure significant enhancements are imperative in areas such as capacity building, regulatory enforcement, and fostering robust public-private collaboration. The study concludes with a set of actionable recommendations for stakeholders, including the imperative to strengthen institutional frameworks, promote ethical procurement practices, and cultivate inclusive stakeholder engagement. These measures are crucial for maximizing the impact of procurement reforms and ensuring sustainable economic development in Ghana.
Abstract:This study explores the relationship between economic interests and legal formation through the lens of Max Weber's perspective. The key issue addressed is the extent to which economic factors influence legal structures…
and their reciprocal impact on economic systems. The objective is to analyze how economic rationality shapes lawmaking processes and the implications for modern transactions. The study employs a qualitative method, relying on textual analysis of Weber’s works and related legal theories. The findings reveal that economic interests are fundamental drivers of legal predictability, calculability, and stability, which are essential for fostering business growth and investment confidence. However, the tension between formal legal rationality and substantive justice poses challenges to achieving equity. These insights underscore the necessity of a structured legal framework that aligns with dynamic economic needs while ensuring fairness. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of the interplay between economics and law, offering guidance for policymakers to balance economic progress with social equity.

Abstract:Fenomena thrifting, terutama impor pakaian bekas ilegal dari Korea Selatan, berkembang pesat di Indonesia dan berdampak negatif terhadap industri tekstil nasional. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perkembangan…
thrifting, dampaknya terhadap daya saing industri lokal, serta menelaah kebijakan pemerintah dalam mengatasinya. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dan data sekunder dari instansi resmi, ditemukan bahwa thrifting telah menjadi tren konsumsi di kalangan anak muda urban, namun menimbulkan tantangan serius berupa penurunan produksi, PHK, dan persaingan harga tidak sehat. Meskipun larangan impor pakaian bekas telah diterapkan melalui Permendag No. 40 Tahun 2022, penegakan hukum masih terbatas akibat lemahnya pengawasan dan tingginya transaksi digital. Secara teoretis, temuan ini mendukung pendekatan neo-realisme dalam studi Hubungan Internasional, di mana negara bertindak untuk melindungi kepentingan ekonomi domestiknya dari ancaman eksternal. Secara metodologis, penelitian ini menunjukkan pentingnya studi berbasis kebijakan yang memadukan kajian ekonomi-politik global, perdagangan lintas batas, dan peran aktor non- negara dalam era digital.
Abstract:Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kedudukam kedudukan normatif asas keterbukaan dalam pembentukan peraturan perundang-undangan di Indonesia dan urgensi asas keterbukaan dalam pembentukan Peraturan Daerah. Metode…
e penelitian menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif (normative legal research). Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan perundang-undangan (statute approach) dan pendekatan konseptual (conceptual approach). Asas Keterbukaan memiliki kedudukan normatif dalam pembentukan peraturan perundang-undangan sebagaimana tercantum dalam Pasal 5 Undang-undang Nomor 12 Tahun 2011 tentang Pembenrtukan Peraturan Perundang-undangan. Selain itu Asas Keterbukaan memiliki urgensi yang multidimensional dalam pembentukan Peraturan Daerah. Secara normatif, asas ini diwajibkan oleh UU No. 12 Tahun 2011 dan perubahannya, menjamin hak masyarakat untuk memberikan masukan secara lisan dan tertulis. Secara filosofis dan sosiologis, keterbukaan adalah prasyarat good governance yang memperkuat legitimasi kebijakan, akuntabilitas, dan secara signifikan mengurangi tingkat resistensi sosial terhadap implementasi Peraturan Daerah. Standar Asas Keterbukaan telah mengalami transformasi dari kepatuhan formal menjadi kewajiban konstitusional untuk menyediakan meaningful participation. Standar ini, yang lahir dari Putusan MK No. 91/PUU-XVIII/2020 dan diadopsi ke dalam UU 13/2022, menuntut hak masyarakat untuk didengar, dipertimbangkan, dan diberi penjelasan.
Abstract:Penelitian ini membahas pertanggungjawaban pidana terhadap pelaku illegal logging dalam perspektif hukum positif dan hukum Islam, dengan studi kasus Perkara No. 532/Pid.Sus LH/2023/PN Jambi. Fenomena illegal logging di Indonesia,…
ndonesia, khususnya di Provinsi Jambi, menimbulkan kerusakan hutan, hilangnya fungsi ekosistem, serta pelanggaran hak masyarakat atas lingkungan hidup yang sehat. Dalam kerangka hukum positif, penegakan hukum terhadap pelaku illegal logging diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 18 Tahun 2013 tentang Pencegahan dan Pemberantasan Pengrusakan Hutan, yang mengatur sanksi pidana penjara, denda, dan perampasan barang bukti. Namun, implementasi di lapangan menghadapi kendala, seperti keterbatasan aparat penegak hukum dan keterlibatan berbagai pihak. Dari perspektif hukum Islam, tindakan illegal logging dikategorikan sebagai jarimah ta’zir karena perusakan alam dipandang sebagai pelanggaran terhadap maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah, khususnya perlindungan jiwa, harta, dan kelestarian lingkungan. Putusan hakim dalam perkara ini dianalisis berdasarkan teori pertanggungjawaban pidana, teori putusan hakim, dan maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah untuk menilai sejauh mana keadilan substantif terwujud bagi pelaku maupun masyarakat. Hasil penelitian diharapkan memberi kontribusi pada pengembangan hukum pidana dan hukum Islam dalam menanggulangi tindak pidana illegal logging secara komprehensif.
