Professor Supomo was for many years one of Indonesia's foremost scholars and by far its leading constitutional authority, having served as Minister of Justice in several cabinets. His death in 1958 was a great loss to Indonesian government and legal scholarship. The Provisional Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia was only one of Professor Supomo's many important published writings, the main body of which dealt with Indonesian customary law. This book, however, is undoubtedly the most significant source on the Constitution of 1950. This Constitution remained operative for approximately seven years after the formation of the Unitary State in August 1950, being fully and officially superseded only in July 1959 with the return to the Constitution of 1945. Professor Supomo's commentary on the individual articles forms the most important analysis and interpretation of the 1950 Constitution to have appeared. Those interested in Indonesia's political development should therefore find this translation useful. - George McT. Kahin, March 10, 1964
This work is unique, since it is the first comprehensive bibliography on Indonesian Law listing materials in various languages, including Russian, Japanese and Chinese. The bibliography is divided into various fields of law and each chapter starts with an introduction on the related field. The growing (economic) importance of Indonesia and the increasing trade relations with this country call for an instrument on how to find the law in Indonesia. This bibliography will fill this gap as it includes all material on Indonesian law in a non-Indonesian language which has been published since 1949.
Indonesia's political and governmental structures underwent sweeping reforms in the late 1990s. After decades of authoritarian rule, a key aspect of the transition to constitutional democracy during this period was the amendment of the 1945 Indonesian Constitution - an important legal text governing the world's third largest democracy. The amended Constitution introduced profound changes to the legal and political system, including an emphasis on judicial independence, a bill of rights, and the establishment of a Constitutional Court. This volume, with chapters written by leading experts, explores the ongoing debates over the meaning, implementation, and practice of constitutional democracy in Indonesia. This includes debates over the powers of the legislature, the role of the military, the scope of decentralisation, the protection of rights and permissible limits on rights, the regulation of elections, the watchdog role of accountability agencies, and the leading role of the Constitutional Court. These legal issues are analysed in light of the contemporary social, political, and economic environment that has seen a decline in tolerance, freedom, and respect for minorities. Contributions to this volume review the past two decades of reform in Indonesia and assess the challenges to the future of constitutional democracy amidst the wide-spread consensus on the decline of democracy in Indonesia. Demands for amendments to the Constitution and calls to revert to its initial form would be a reversal of Indonesia's democratic gains.
