tal platform dominance, and the emergence of data-driven business models, competition law has become an essential regulatory instrument for ensuring fair competition, safeguarding consumer interests, and promoting sustainable economic development. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on the PRISMA 2020 framework. Relevant literature was systematically collected from six major academic databases, namely Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Emerald Insight, and Taylor & Francis Online. The review process included identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and inclusion stages. A total of 78 peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025 were selected and analyzed using thematic synthesis techniques. The findings reveal that competition law performs four interconnected functions. First, it serves as a regulatory mechanism that shapes corporate behavior and prevents anticompetitive practices, including monopolization, cartel agreements, price-fixing, and abuse of dominant positions. Second, competition law enhances consumer welfare by promoting competitive prices, product quality, innovation, and consumer choice. Third, effective competition policy contributes to allocative, productive, and dynamic efficiency, thereby supporting long-term economic growth. Fourth, digital markets introduce new challenges associated with data concentration, platform dominance, network effects, and algorithmic pricing, requiring adaptive regulatory frameworks and strengthened institutional capacity.This study contributes to the literature by integrating Economic Efficiency Theory, Consumer Welfare Theory, Competition Policy Theory, and Regulatory Governance Theory into a comprehensive analytical framework that explains the relationship between competition law, corporate conduct regulation, consumer protection, and economic efficiency.The findings provide policy recommendations for competition authorities and governments, particularly in developing economies, regarding digital competition governance, institutional strengthening, cross-border enforcement cooperation, and data-driven market regulation.Unlike previous studies that focus on isolated dimensions of competition law, this research offers a holistic synthesis of legal, economic, consumer welfare, and governance perspectives. It further highlights how competition law can address emerging challenges in the digital economy while simultaneously promoting consumer protection and economic efficiency.

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.

nor to be harmoniously integrated into the framework of the national legal system. Although regulatory frameworks have been established through Law Number 13 of 2006 as amended by Law Number 31 of 2014 concerning the Protection of Witnesses and Victims, as well as various regulations related to whistleblower and justice collaborator protection, their implementation continues to face normative and structural weaknesses. The lack of synchronization between the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), the Draft Criminal Procedure Code (RUU KUHAP), and other sectoral regulations has resulted in the suboptimal role of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) in guaranteeing the rights of witnesses, victims, perpetrator-witnesses, and reporters, particularly in criminal cases with broad and organized impacts. From the perspective of maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah and the Pancasila Justice Theory, legal protection for witnesses and victims should not be merely procedural-formal in nature, but must be directed toward the restoration of dignity, the assurance of security, and the comprehensive protection of human rights. This study aims to analyze the regulatory weaknesses in witness and victim protection from the perspective of the criminal justice system and to reconstruct such regulations based on restorative justice values. Employing a normative legal research paradigm combined with conceptual, statutory, and theoretical approaches, this research positions the Pancasila Justice Theory as the grand theory, the Legal System Theory as the middle theory, and the Legal Protection Theory as the applied theory. The findings indicate that regulatory reconstruction is necessary through strengthening the institutional position of LPSK, harmonizing it with the Draft Criminal Procedure Code (RUU KUHAP), and reinforcing the protection of whistleblowers and justice collaborators in a more comprehensive and non-discriminatory manner. This reconstruction is directed toward establishing a witness and victim protection system oriented toward restoration (restorative justice), balanced interests among the parties, and the realization of social justice as mandated by the values of Pancasila and human rights principles.

ideographic case study method to explore the experiences and meanings of business actors in depth. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, while data analysis used thematic analysis. The results of the study indicate that the meaning of profit is not understood as maximizing profits, but rather as a social construction formed through the interaction between economic rationality and cultural values. There are two main meanings found, namely profit as a balance of stakeholder interests and profit as social legitimacy. Profit is interpreted as a balance of stakeholder interests when business actors balance cost management, production volume, and social relations within the business. In addition, profit is also interpreted as social legitimacy when business success is measured based on acceptance and sustainability of work relationships and the social environment. This study shows that the concept of Cost Volume Profit not only functions as an economic analysis tool but can also be understood in a social and cultural context. Thus, this research contributes to the development of accounting studies that are not solely financially oriented but also consider the social and cultural dimensions of business practices.

more religious, while Colonial Education tends to be secular and liberal. Each education has a different teaching system because it has different goals and targets according to the interests of the government in power at that time. This research method uses a historical method that is based on four things as usual, namely: heuristics, criticism, verification and historiography. Because this event is a political history, the researcher uses a socio-political approach to analyze it. On the other hand, assisted by the challenge and response theory developed by Arnold Toynbe. According to this theory, culture occurs because of challenges and answers between humans and their surroundings. The results of this study indicate that the existence of racial and discriminatory Dutch colonial government education resulted in the emergence of forms of resistance in the field of education. This phenomenon results in the birth of Islamic boarding schools and private schools such as: Tebu Ireng Islamic Boarding School (1899), Tambak Beras Islamic Boarding School (1919) East Java, Krapyak Islamic Boarding School, Yogyakarta (1911), Sukamanah Islamic Boarding School, Cipasung Tasikmalaya, West Java (1930). As for private schools (private) namely Muhammadiyah School (1912), Taman Siswa (1922) and Nahdlatul Ulama (1926).
