Riots, ruptures and power contests under Prabowo
Indonesia has witnessed waves of protests in response to anti-democratic policies, culminating in violent riots, as in August 2025. Traditional views see riots as criminal disorder, while social movement scholars interpret them as protest repertoires. Both perspectives tend to portray protests-turned-riots as mainly reflecting the agency of societal actors, either adversely or sympathetically. Our findings suggest that, as contending political el…
Faith versus Fact
In this article, we investigate the role of religious experts in criminal cases related to blasphemy in Indonesia, a country with one of the world’s largest Muslim populations. Our analysis of 106 decisions in blasphemy-related cases between 2011 and 2022 shows that expert witnesses in these cases have been much more influential than in other criminal cases, with their testimony often leading to conviction. We found that religious experts in case…
Corrupt But Functioning
The practice of brokering legal cases involving both material and non-material exchanges with influential actors remains deeply entrenched despite over two decades of democratic law reforms in Indonesia. This persistence is often attributed to weak legal institutions and incompetent judicial actors, indicating a dysfunction stemming from an incomplete institutionalisation of the rule of law and uneven state development. This explanation, influenc…

It explores key events from the early 1900s, following the implementation of ethical policies, and the brief period of Japan’s occupation to the end of the Sukarno era in 1965, to contextualize the conditions that allowed the institutionalization …
Doing business under the framework of disorder
The rule of law has been widely perceived as an important prerequisite for economic development. However, many cases in postcolonial countries have shown that the two may not always be strongly related. Drawing from the case of Indonesia, we found that economic development can also be accompanied by a distinctly illiberal legal framework. Instead of being obstacles, legal uncertainty and lawlessness are in some ways instrumental in facilitating p…

The Problems of Expert Witness in Criminal Law
The expert testimony is a potential problem in the future due to the impact of the advancement of science and technology. This paper examines the place of expert witness to be considered as one of the evidence in criminal case investigation and criminal court. It is argued that expert qualifications should be determined based on formal education, professional experiences, and the relevance of his expertise with the case. The Criminal Procedure Co…
