The Casework Approach in Handling Children Experiencing Psychosocial Trauma
This article examines the casework approach in handling children experiencing psychosocial trauma. The topic is significant because psychosocial trauma affects not only children's psychological well-being but also their behavior, social relationships, educational participation, sense of security, and overall social functioning. Children exposed to physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, neglect, bullying, family conflict, or the loss of caregivers require comprehensive and child-centered interventions. This study aims to explain the characteristics of psychosocial trauma in children, analyze the stages of the casework approach, and describe the roles of social workers in facilitating children's recovery. A qualitative descriptive design employing a literature review was adopted. Data were obtained from scholarly books, peer-reviewed journal articles, official reports, and policy documents related to social work, child protection, psychosocial trauma, and clinical social work interventions. The findings indicate that the casework approach provides a systematic framework encompassing engagement, assessment, intervention planning, implementation, evaluation, termination, and follow-up. Social workers perform multiple professional roles, including assessor, counselor, advocate, broker, mediator, case manager, and service coordinator. Effective implementation of casework requires trauma-informed, ethical, child-friendly, and multidisciplinary practices to promote sustainable psychosocial recovery and strengthen children's resilience.

The Use of Social Media In Building the Political Image of Budi and Agis in the 2024 Serang City Elections
This study examines the strategic utilization of social media platforms in constructing the political image of Budi Rustandi and Nur Agis Aulia during the 2024 Serang City Election. Employing an empirical qualitative approach with an instrumental case study design, this inquiry analyzes how digital campaign operations cultivate political branding and manage candidate impressions among young voters. Primary data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with key campaign actors and targeted youth demographics, supplemented by non-participant observation of official social media repositories. The findings reveal that Instagram and TikTok were deployed in a highly differentiated manner to maximize algorithmic reach and validate candidate credibility. By projecting a carefully curated balance between legislative competence and grassroots populist values, the campaign generated significant cognitive alignment within the youth electorate. Crucially, the final results demonstrate that while digital communication offers immense cost efficiency in building widespread political visibility, actual electoral conversion relies on the strategic integration of virtual image formation and physical network mobilization.

Gender-Based Violence on the X (Twitter) Platform: A Digital Criminological Analysis in the Social Media Era
The rapid growth of social media, particularly the X (Twitter) platform, has expanded opportunities for public interaction and freedom of expression while increasing the prevalence of online gender-based violence (OGBV). This study examines users' perceptions of gender-based violence on X, identifies the factors contributing to its occurrence, and analyzes its impacts from a digital criminological perspective. Using an empirical qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through an online questionnaire administered to 50 active X users. The findings reveal that user anonymity is the primary factor facilitating gender-based violence, accompanied by weak content moderation, limited digital literacy, poor online communication ethics, and the rapid dissemination of harmful content. Respondents frequently encountered verbal harassment, sexist and misogynistic comments, cyberbullying, doxxing, body shaming, victim blaming, and threats of sexual violence. These findings support the Online Disinhibition Effect, which explains how anonymity encourages aggressive online behavior, and Routine Activity Theory, which emphasizes the interaction between motivated offenders, suitable targets, and inadequate guardianship in facilitating cyber-enabled victimization. The study recommends strengthening content moderation, improving reporting mechanisms, enhancing digital literacy, enforcing legal protections, and promoting gender equality campaigns to create safer and more inclusive digital environments.

The Role of the Pati Regency Youth, Sports, and Tourism Office in Empowering Bakaran Wetan Tourism Village to Increase Local Own-Source Revenue under Pati Regent Regulation Number 28 of 2022 on Tourism Village Empowerment
Tourism village empowerment has become a strategic regional policy for increasing Local Own-Source Revenue (LOR) through the utilization of local cultural assets. Bakaran Wetan Tourism Village in Pati Regency is developed under Pati Regent Regulation Number 28 of 2022, yet its implementation remains constrained by limited funding, weak institutional coordination, declining tourist interest, and the tourism sector's modest contribution to regional revenue. This study analyzes the implementation, constraints, and optimization strategies of the Pati Regency Youth, Sports, and Tourism Office (DINPORAPAR) in empowering Bakaran Wetan Tourism Village. An empirical juridical approach with qualitative methods was employed using semi-structured interviews with government officials, Batik Bakaran artisans, local residents, and tourists, supported by legal and documentary analysis. The findings show that DINPORAPAR has implemented tourism village assessment, institutional guidance, tourism promotion, batik training, and community-based cultural development as unilateral governmental legal actions. Policy implementation remains constrained by weak inter-agency coordination and limited tourism funding. Batik training and digital marketing effectively strengthen community capacity while preserving cultural authenticity, whereas batik printing assistance is less effective because it overlooks the traditional identity of hand-drawn Batik Bakaran.

The Effectiveness of the Siapang Pintu Gerbang Cooperative in Boosting the Economy of the Lubuk Terap Village Community in Bandar Petalangan Subdistrict, Pelalawan Regency
This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Siapang Pintu Gerbang Cooperative in improving the economy of the Lubuk Terap Village community in Bandar Petalangan Subdistrict, Pelalawan Regency. The study employed an empirical qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving the cooperative chairperson, board members, cooperative members, village officials, and community members. The data were analyzed using an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings indicate that the cooperative has generally operated effectively by improving members' access to productive capital, supporting the development of microenterprises, strengthening member participation in organizational activities, and gradually enhancing household welfare. The cooperative has also demonstrated organizational adaptability through service improvements and flexible financing policies that respond to members' socioeconomic conditions. However, several challenges remain, including uneven member participation, limited managerial capacity, restricted financial resources, and insufficient business innovation. Strengthening organizational governance, expanding productive programs, improving managerial competencies, and encouraging broader member participation are essential to enhance the cooperative's long-term contribution to sustainable rural economic development and community welfare.

A Legal Analysis of the Distribution of Illegal Cigarette Products and Trademark Infringement
Currently, the distribution of illegal cigarettes in Indonesia has evolved into a complex legal issue involving the intersection between excise tax violations and trademark infringement. This study aims to analyze the standard of “substantial similarity” in illegal cigarette branding practices, examine the forms of legal accountability imposed on perpetrators, and identify key obstacles in law enforcement. The phenomenon is driven largely by economic disparities, particularly the increase in Tobacco Product Excise (CHT), which incentivizes the emergence of organized illicit distribution networks that exploit well-known cigarette brands to mislead consumers. This research employs a normative juridical method using statutory and case approaches, focusing on legal documents and judicial precedents. The findings reveal three dominant forms of trademark infringement in illegal cigarettes, namely identical imitation, brand name modification, and packaging design replication that creates consumer confusion. Perpetrators may be held accountable through criminal sanctions under excise and trademark laws as well as civil liability based on unlawful acts under Article 1365 of the Civil Code. Although enforcement efforts such as Operation Octopus have been implemented, structural, technological, and societal constraints continue to hinder effectiveness.

The Effectiveness of the Policy to Waive Tax Penalties on the Compliance Rates of Motor Vehicle Taxpayers at the Samsat Regional Technical Implementation Unit in Serang Regency
Motor Vehicle Tax is one of the sources of local revenue that every motor vehicle owner is required to pay, as stipulated in Banten Province Regional Regulation No. 1 of 2024 concerning Local Taxes and Local Levies. The compliance rate of motor vehicle taxpayers at the Serang Regency Samsat Technical Implementation Unit (UPTD) remains relatively low at approximately 58 percent of all registered vehicles and is accompanied by high levels of tax arrears. Consequently, the local government has implemented a policy to waive Motor Vehicle Tax penalties as an effort to increase tax payments and local revenue. This study analyzes the effectiveness of the policy to waive motor vehicle tax penalties on the compliance rate of motor vehicle taxpayers at the UPTD Samsat in Serang Regency, as well as the obstacles in its implementation. The analysis employs the theory of legal effectiveness and the theory of government action. The research method used is an empirical-juridical approach with a descriptive-analytical framework, utilizing primary data collected through interviews and secondary data sourced from legislation and legal literature. The research results indicate that local government actions including the elimination of administrative sanctions in the form of fines, the simplification of service procedures, and the optimization of tax payment services have proven effective in increasing Motor Vehicle Tax payments and local revenue realization in the short term, as reflected in revenue achievements for the 2020-2024 period, which largely exceeded targets. The decline in revenue realization in 2025 indicates that the effectiveness of these policies has not yet been fully accompanied by the establishment of sustainable taxpayer compliance and remains influenced by policy incentives. Policy implementation still faces obstacles in the form of limited service capacity, technical disruptions to facilities and infrastructure, low public awareness influenced by a legal culture of delaying tax obligations, and perceptions of unfairness among taxpayers who have historically been compliant. This study recommends strengthening policies to encourage sustainable taxpayer compliance and improving the quality of tax service delivery.

The Effectiveness of Law Enforcement Against Trademark Infringement in Online Commerce in Indonesia
This study examines the effectiveness of law enforcement against trademark infringement in online commerce in Indonesia through a normative juridical research approach. The analysis is based on statutory regulations, international intellectual property instruments, policy documents, and scholarly literature concerning trademark protection, electronic commerce, and digital governance. The findings indicate that Indonesia possesses a relatively comprehensive legal framework for trademark protection, supported by national legislation and international intellectual property standards. Nevertheless, the practical effectiveness of enforcement remains limited due to institutional coordination problems, difficulties in identifying online offenders, challenges associated with digital evidence, marketplace supervision limitations, and procedural barriers affecting criminal and civil remedies. The study identifies a persistent gap between normative legal objectives and enforcement realities within digital commercial environments. To address these challenges, the research proposes an integrated reform model emphasizing regulatory innovation, marketplace accountability, artificial intelligence based monitoring systems, alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, preventive legal protection, and enhanced stakeholder cooperation. The study argues that effective trademark protection in digital commerce requires the convergence of legal certainty, technological capability, and adaptive governance structures capable of responding to evolving patterns of online infringement.

Legal Protection for Football Broadcasting License Holders Against Illegal Streaming in Indonesia
This study examines the legal protection available to football broadcasting license holders against illegal streaming practices in Indonesia through a normative juridical approach. The research relies on primary legal materials consisting of Law Number 28 of 2014 on Copyright, Law Number 32 of 2002 on Broadcasting, Government Regulation Number 36 of 2018 concerning the Registration of Intellectual Property Licensing Agreements, and other relevant regulations, complemented by scholarly literature and doctrinal studies. The analysis demonstrates that football broadcasting licenses possess a legally protected position within the framework of copyright and related rights, granting license holders authority to commercially exploit broadcasting content and to seek legal remedies against unauthorized retransmission. Illegal streaming constitutes an infringement of economic rights and neighbouring rights while simultaneously violating broadcasting regulations governing the dissemination of audiovisual content. Existing protection mechanisms include preventive measures through license registration, regulatory supervision, and public legal awareness, as well as repressive measures through civil litigation, criminal prosecution, and alternative dispute resolution. The findings indicate that Indonesian law provides a relatively comprehensive normative framework, although challenges associated with digital technology, platform accountability, and enforcement effectiveness continue to affect the practical realization of legal protection. Strengthening institutional coordination and adaptive digital governance remains essential for improving future protection.

Optimizing Legal Protection of Communal Intellectual Property for Regional Specialty Products to Promote Local Economic Growth
This study examines the effectiveness of communal intellectual property protection in safeguarding regional specialty products and promoting local economic growth in Indonesia through a normative legal research approach. The analysis is based on statutory and conceptual approaches using primary legal sources, including Law Number 20 of 2016, Law Number 28 of 2014, Government Regulation Number 56 of 2022, and Ministerial Regulation Number 13 of 2017, complemented by scholarly literature on intellectual property governance and regional development. The findings indicate that Indonesia has established a relatively comprehensive legal framework for protecting geographical indications, traditional knowledge, and traditional cultural expressions. Despite this regulatory foundation, implementation remains constrained by documentation deficiencies, fragmented institutional authority, limited community participation, and uneven regional administrative capacity. The study further demonstrates that effective communal intellectual property protection contributes to product differentiation, market reputation, community empowerment, regional competitiveness, and sustainable economic development. Legal protection functions not only as a mechanism for cultural preservation but also as a strategic development instrument. Strengthening institutional coordination, improving registration systems, and expanding community based governance are essential to optimize the developmental benefits of communal intellectual property protection within Indonesia's regional economic landscape.

The Passing on of the Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) to Consumers and Its Implications for MSME Operators
This study examines the legal regulation of Merchant Discount Rate within the Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard payment system and analyzes the implications of passing MDR costs on to consumers for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise operators in Indonesia. Employing a non empirical normative legal research design, the study relies exclusively on statutory materials, regulatory documents, scholarly literature, and official publications. The analysis combines statutory and conceptual approaches to evaluate the consistency between legal norms governing MDR allocation and practices reported in the literature. The findings indicate that the regulatory framework clearly positions MDR as a merchant obligation and prohibits the transfer of such costs to consumers. Despite this normative clarity, MDR pass through practices continue to occur due to regulatory literacy gaps, economic pressures faced by MSMEs, digital adoption challenges, and limitations in monitoring and enforcement mechanisms. The study further demonstrates that cost transfer practices generate multidimensional consequences, including reduced consumer trust, weakened price transparency, lower digital payment acceptance, and risks to long term MSME competitiveness. The findings support the need for adaptive regulatory strategies, differentiated MDR policies, and strengthened stakeholder coordination to promote sustainable digital payment governance, consumer protection, and inclusive economic development.

Legal Analysis Of MSMEs Trademark Protection From A Trade Law Perspective: The First To File Principle
This study examines the legal protection of Micro Small and Medium Enterprises trademarks within the Indonesian trademark regime from a trade law perspective by focusing on the application of the first to file principle. The research employs a normative juridical method supported by a descriptive analytical approach and relies exclusively on secondary legal materials, including legislation, judicial decisions, scholarly literature, and relevant legal doctrines. The analysis reveals that the first to file principle provides a structured mechanism for determining trademark ownership and contributes to commercial certainty in trade relations. The study also identifies persistent structural challenges affecting MSMEs, including limited legal awareness, registration barriers, unequal access to legal protection, trademark appropriation practices, and normative gaps concerning prior users. These conditions create tensions between formal legal recognition and substantive economic justice. Through doctrinal and conceptual analysis, the study proposes a reconstructed protection framework that integrates good faith considerations, recognition of prior use, alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, collective trademark models, digital registration reforms, and targeted incentive policies. The findings indicate that a balanced approach between legal certainty and equitable protection is necessary to strengthen MSME competitiveness and support sustainable trade development in Indonesia.

Interpol’s Role in Combating Transnational Cybercrime in Southeast Asia: A Case Study of Operations HAECHI I–VI
This study examines the role of Interpol in combating transnational cybercrime in Southeast Asia through Operations HAECHI I to VI. Employing a qualitative non empirical research design and an explanatory case study approach, the research analyzes how Interpol facilitates international cooperation against cyber enabled financial crime across multiple jurisdictions. Data were derived from official Interpol operational reports, annual publications of the Interpol Financial Crime and Anti Corruption Centre, documents issued by the ASEAN Secretariat, reports from international organizations, and relevant scholarly literature. Qualitative content analysis and process tracing were used to identify institutional mechanisms and assess operational outcomes. The findings indicate that cyber enabled financial crime has evolved into a multidimensional threat affecting economic stability, governance capacity, and individual security throughout the region. Interpol has strengthened regional responses by institutionalizing intelligence exchange, coordinating cross border investigations, and supporting asset recovery through mechanisms such as the Interpol Financial Crime and Anti Corruption Centre and the Anti Money Laundering Rapid Response Protocol. Although HAECHI operations have generated substantial enforcement outcomes, persistent challenges remain in legal harmonization, regulatory capacity, and cryptocurrency related investigations. The study concludes that Interpol functions as a critical governance actor whose effectiveness depends on sustained institutional adaptation and deeper regional cooperation.

Political Ecology: The Dynamics of Local Government in Sustainable Natural Resource Management (A Study of The Sand Mine on Tunda Island)
This study examines the dynamics of local government in sustainable natural resource management amid the expansion of marine sand mining activities on Tunda Island, Serang Regency, Indonesia. Using an empirical qualitative approach with a case study design, the research investigates how power relations, institutional arrangements, and resource access shape environmental governance outcomes within a coastal socioecological setting. Data were collected through in depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis involving fishers, village officials, community leaders, and policy observers. The findings reveal that local government actors functioned as strategic intermediaries that facilitated access to mining related benefits while simultaneously reproducing unequal patterns of resource control. The study also identifies significant governance gaps resulting from fragmented institutional authority, regulatory ambiguity, limited local oversight, and weak accountability mechanisms following shifts in governmental authority. These conditions contributed to ineffective environmental monitoring and constrained community participation in decision making processes. Ecological degradation, declining fish catches, social fragmentation, and increasing dependence on compensation emerged as major consequences of extractive governance. Community responses included resistance, adaptive livelihood strategies, and demands for environmental justice. The study argues that sustainable coastal governance requires stronger institutional coordination, participatory accountability mechanisms, and greater recognition of local ecological knowledge within resource management frameworks.

Legal Protection Against Music Piracy in the Digital Age (A Study of Reproduction, File Sharing, and Unlicensed Use)
The rapid development of information technology has fundamentally transformed the music industry by enabling instantaneous and borderless access to musical works. However, this transformation is accompanied by increasing cases of illegal exploitation that violate intellectual property rights. This study aims to analyze the anatomy of music infringement and piracy, identify its underlying causal factors, and examine its impacts on copyright protection within the dynamics of digitalization in Indonesia. Using a normative juridical approach, the study examines Law Number 28 of 2014 on Copyright (Undang-Undang Nomor 28 Tahun 2014 tentang Hak Cipta) and relevant scholarly literature. The findings reveal that digital music piracy manifests in various forms, including illegal downloading, unauthorized streaming, unlawful redistribution, and moral rights violations through unlicensed remixing and adaptation. These practices are driven by multidimensional factors such as low purchasing power, weak legal awareness, technological advancement outpacing regulation, and limited enforcement effectiveness. The implications extend beyond economic losses for rights holders, also weakening creative incentives and disrupting the sustainability of the national creative industry. The study concludes that although the legal framework is normatively adequate, its implementation in the digital ecosystem remains problematic and requires stronger institutional coordination, improved collective management systems, and enhanced public legal literacy.

Effectiveness of Community Participation in the Development Planning of the Merah Putih Cooperative in the Sukalaksana Neighborhood
The Merah Putih Cooperative Program was introduced to strengthen local economic development through community-based cooperative institutions. This study examines the effectiveness of community participation in the development planning of the Merah Putih Cooperative in Sukalaksana Neighborhood, Curug District, Serang City. An empirical qualitative approach with a single instrumental case study design was employed. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, document analysis, and literature review, and analyzed using Bintoro Tjokroamidjojo's development planning framework covering plan formulation, program formulation, implementation, supervision, and evaluation. The findings indicate that the planning process incorporated local economic potential, development objectives, and collaborative business strategies, although community participation remained limited during the initial planning stage due to the top-down nature of the program. Program implementation was constrained by limited capital, inadequate cooperative literacy, incomplete operational facilities, and uneven institutional support. Supervision was conducted through internal and external mechanisms, while the evaluation highlighted organizational readiness and community engagement as the primary determinants of future effectiveness. The study concludes that strengthening participatory governance, institutional capacity, and public involvement is essential for improving the long-term sustainability of the Merah Putih Cooperative.

Children’s Attachment and Relationships with Their Social Environment
Children's attachment is a fundamental emotional bond that plays a crucial role in shaping socio-emotional development and children's relationships with their social environment. However, difficulties in social interaction, emotional regulation, empathy, and adaptation remain common among young children and are often associated with the quality of attachment they experience. This study aims to comprehensively examine the relationship between children's attachment and their interactions within family, school, and broader social environments. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted following the PRISMA framework by synthesizing peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2022 and 2025. The findings indicate that secure attachment positively influences children's emotional regulation, empathy, self-confidence, communication skills, cooperation, and social adaptation. In contrast, insecure attachment is associated with emotional insecurity, social withdrawal, low self-esteem, and difficulties in establishing healthy interpersonal relationships. The review further highlights that attachment extends beyond parent–child relationships to include teachers and other significant adults who contribute to children's social development. Overall, secure attachment serves as a fundamental foundation for fostering healthy social relationships, emphasizing the importance of collaborative support among families, schools, and communities to promote children's holistic development.

Integrating Digital Literacy and Human Values as a Strategy for Addressing Challenges in the Digital Age in Indonesia
The rapid expansion of digital technology has transformed social interaction, education, communication, and economic activities across Indonesia while simultaneously generating complex ethical and social challenges. This study examines the integration of digital literacy and human values as a strategic response to the demands of contemporary digital society. Employing a qualitative library research design, the study analyzes scholarly literature, policy documents, government regulations, and theoretical works related to digital literacy, information ethics, social development, and human centered technological transformation. The findings indicate that digital literacy extends beyond technical competence and encompasses critical evaluation, responsible information use, ethical awareness, and social accountability. The analysis further reveals that digital transformation contributes to challenges such as disinformation, declining empathy, online hostility, privacy concerns, and value disorientation, which may weaken social trust and civic responsibility. Human values grounded in ethical principles, character formation, Pancasila, and religious traditions function as essential safeguards against these risks. The study concludes that effective integration requires collaborative engagement among educational institutions, families, communities, religious organizations, and government agencies. Such an integrative framework strengthens digital competence, ethical resilience, and social trust, thereby supporting inclusive, sustainable, and human centered digital development in Indonesia.

Intellectual Property Rights Protection For Traditional Cultural Expressions
This study examines the adequacy of intellectual property protection for Traditional Cultural Expressions within Indonesia through a non empirical normative legal research design. It analyzes statutory provisions, doctrinal scholarship, and international frameworks to evaluate whether existing mechanisms sufficiently safeguard communal cultural rights. The findings indicate persistent structural misalignment between communal ownership systems and conventional copyright principles, particularly regarding authorship and originality requirements. The study further identifies weaknesses in benefit sharing arrangements, fragmented cultural documentation, and limited enforcement capacity in cross border contexts. Additionally, the emergence of artificial intelligence and generative digital technologies introduces new legal uncertainties concerning reproduction and cultural appropriation. The analysis highlights that current regulatory instruments do not adequately address these multidimensional challenges. It argues for a more integrated legal approach that combines statutory reform with conceptual reorientation toward community based governance. The study concludes that a sui generis framework is essential to ensure equitable protection, cultural sustainability, and legal certainty for Traditional Cultural Expressions in the evolving digital era.

A Legal Review of the Use of the “Gudang Baru” Trademark as an Alleged Infringement and Unfair Competition Against Gudang Garam
This study examines the legal implications of the use of the “Gudang Baru” trademark as an alleged trademark infringement and form of unfair competition against the well established “Gudang Garam” trademark within the Indonesian legal system. The research adopts a non empirical normative juridical approach based on statutory analysis, case analysis, and conceptual legal reasoning. Primary legal materials consist of international intellectual property instruments, national trademark legislation, competition law regulations, trademark registration rules, and judicial decisions relevant to the dispute. The findings indicate that the legal assessment extends beyond visual similarity and requires consideration of consumer confusion, the protection of well known trademarks, good faith registration requirements, and broader principles of market fairness. The study further demonstrates that the status of Gudang Garam as a well known trademark strengthens its entitlement to enhanced legal protection under domestic and international legal frameworks. The analysis also reveals that the use of the Gudang Baru trademark raises concerns regarding passing off, free riding, and bad faith registration that may distort fair competition. Stronger integration between trademark law and competition law is necessary to preserve legal certainty, protect commercial goodwill, and promote equitable market competition.

The Effectiveness of Administrative Remedies as A Prerequisite For Filing A Lawsuit in Administrative Court
This study examines the effectiveness of administrative remedies as a mandatory prerequisite for filing lawsuits before the Administrative Court within the Indonesian administrative law system. The research employs a non empirical normative juridical approach based on doctrinal legal analysis and extensive library research. Primary legal materials consist of Law Number 5 of 1986 concerning the State Administrative Court, Law Number 30 of 2014 concerning Government Administration, and Supreme Court Regulation Number 6 of 2018. Secondary materials include scholarly literature on administrative justice, governance, accountability, procedural fairness, and the rule of law. The findings indicate that administrative remedies serve an important function in promoting administrative justice by providing opportunities for internal correction, strengthening accountability, and supporting good governance principles. The mechanism also contributes to procedural efficiency by filtering disputes before judicial review. Despite these advantages, its practical effectiveness remains influenced by administrative burdens, regulatory inconsistencies, institutional bias, transparency deficits, and the growing complexity of technology based administrative decision making. The study concludes that administrative remedies possess a strong normative foundation, yet their effectiveness depends substantially on regulatory coherence, institutional capacity, procedural transparency, and adaptive governance capable of responding to contemporary administrative challenges.

The Anatomy of Political Money in Indonesia: Challenges to Electoral Integrity and Strategies for Restoring Substantive Democracy
Political money remains one of the most persistent challenges confronting democratic development in Indonesia. This study examines the anatomy of political money, its consequences for electoral integrity and democratic governance, and potential strategies for restoring substantive democracy. The research employs a non empirical qualitative design using a descriptive and analytical literature approach based exclusively on secondary sources, including academic publications, legal documents, election monitoring reports, and institutional records. Data were analyzed through thematic categorization, comparative interpretation, and critical synthesis supported by source triangulation. The findings indicate that political money is sustained by structural weaknesses in political institutions, deficiencies in campaign finance governance, and limited accountability mechanisms. Its consequences include distorted electoral competition, declining political neutrality, weakened democratic accountability, increased corruption incentives, and the erosion of public trust in democratic institutions. The study further finds that the persistence of transactional politics contributes to democratic regression and compromises the realization of substantive democracy. Institutional reforms emphasizing campaign finance transparency, electoral justice, constitutional safeguards, and democratic accountability are essential for strengthening electoral integrity and promoting sustainable democratic governance in Indonesia.

A Legal Analysis of The Bandung Administrative Court Decision No. 180/G/2024/Ptun.Bdg Regarding A Dispute Over The Transfer of Civil Servants from The Perspective of The General Principles of Good Governance
This study examines the legality of Bandung Administrative Court Decision Number 180/G/2024/PTUN.BDG concerning a dispute over the transfer of a civil servant position through the perspective of the General Principles of Good Governance. The research employed a non empirical normative juridical approach based on statutory analysis, case analysis, and conceptual analysis. Primary sources consisted of the court decision and relevant Indonesian administrative law regulations governing state administrative justice, government administration, and the state civil apparatus. The findings indicate that the disputed transfer decision was issued by a competent authority but contained significant procedural and substantive defects. The court identified the use of an expired technical recommendation, administrative error, insufficient objective justification, and non compliance with merit based personnel management standards. These deficiencies resulted in violations of legal certainty and due care principles that form essential components of good governance. The analysis further demonstrates that the General Principles of Good Governance function as substantive standards for reviewing administrative discretion beyond formal legality. The decision strengthens judicial oversight, promotes bureaucratic accountability, reinforces merit system implementation, and contributes to the development of governance oriented administrative law in Indonesia.

A Legal Analysis of the Application of the General Principles of Good Governance (AUPB) as the Basis for Judicial Decision-Making in the Resolution of Administrative Law Disputes
This study examines the legal position, judicial application, and future development of the General Principles of Good Governance (AUPB) as a basis for judicial decision making in the resolution of administrative law disputes in Indonesia. Employing a non empirical normative juridical method, the research analyzes constitutional provisions, statutory regulations, administrative law doctrines, and administrative court decisions to evaluate the interaction between legal norms and judicial interpretation. The findings indicate that AUPB has evolved into a significant normative standard within Indonesian administrative law, functioning not only as a complementary legal principle but also as an independent benchmark for reviewing administrative actions and decisions. Judicial practice demonstrates that AUPB serves as an instrument for assessing legality, controlling abuse of authority, guiding the exercise of discretion, and balancing legal certainty with substantive justice. The study also identifies challenges arising from interpretive variation, regulatory fragmentation, and differing judicial approaches to principle based adjudication. Strengthening doctrinal coherence, judicial capacity, and regulatory harmonization is essential for enhancing consistency in administrative adjudication. The research concludes that AUPB plays a central role in reinforcing administrative justice, governmental accountability, and the realization of good governance within the contemporary legal system.

Restoring Digital Ethics: Multilateral Efforts to Minimize the Erosion of Human Values in Cyberspace
The development of digital technology has transformed communication patterns, social interaction, and information dissemination in contemporary society. Although it provides significant benefits, digital transformation also generates ethical challenges such as misinformation, hate speech, cyberbullying, privacy violations, and declining communication ethics, which collectively contribute to the erosion of human values in cyberspace. These conditions indicate an imbalance between technological advancement and the strengthening of digital ethics and moral awareness among users. This study aims to analyze the forms of human value degradation in cyberspace and examine the roles of government, society, and educational institutions in restoring digital ethics through a multilateral approach. The study employs a qualitative literature review method based on academic journals, books, policy documents, and institutional reports. Data were analyzed using content analysis to identify and interpret key themes related to digital ethics restoration. The findings show that restoring digital ethics requires coordinated efforts among government regulation, societal participation, and educational reinforcement of digital literacy and character building to create a more responsible and human-centered digital ecosystem.

The Role of General Principles of Good Governance (AUPB) in Administrative Court Dispute Resolution
This study examines the role of the General Principles of Good Governance (AUPB) in the resolution of administrative court disputes in Indonesia through a normative legal research approach based on statutory, conceptual, and case analyses. The research analyzes administrative court decisions issued between 2020 and 2023 together with relevant legislation governing administrative justice and government administration. The findings indicate that AUPB has evolved from a complementary interpretative standard into a substantive judicial benchmark for assessing the legality and legitimacy of administrative actions. Judicial application demonstrates that governance principles are utilized across diverse categories of disputes, including licensing, land administration, environmental governance, public information, taxation, procurement, and civil service matters, with varying review orientations reflecting the characteristics of each dispute. The study also reveals regional variations in judicial interpretation and application, producing differences in decision consistency, legal certainty, executorial effectiveness, and public trust. Despite these variations, explicit reliance on AUPB strengthens judicial reasoning, enhances administrative accountability, and promotes more responsive administrative justice. The research concludes that AUPB functions as a central normative instrument for improving adjudicative quality and reinforcing good governance within Indonesia’s administrative law system.

Siri Polygamy from the Perspective of Islamic Law Versus State Law: A Study of Sociology and Legal Pluralism
This study examines siri polygamy in Indonesia through the analytical lens of sociology and legal pluralism by exploring the interaction between Islamic law and state law in the construction of marital legitimacy and dispute resolution. The research employs a non empirical legal method based on normative legal analysis and a socio legal approach. Data were derived from constitutional provisions, marriage legislation, the Compilation of Islamic Law, judicial decisions, and relevant academic literature. The findings indicate that siri polygamy operates within a field of competing normative authorities where religious validity may coexist with limited state recognition. This condition generates legal uncertainty concerning marital status, child protection, inheritance rights, and access to justice. Judicial practice demonstrates a tendency to accommodate social realities through legalization mechanisms rather than relying exclusively on criminal sanctions. The study further reveals that women and children remain the most vulnerable parties within unregistered polygamous relationships. From a criminal law policy perspective, effective regulation requires a balanced approach that integrates legal certainty, substantive justice, and social legitimacy. The research argues that harmonization between Islamic family law and national law is essential for strengthening rights protection and improving the coherence of Indonesia’s plural legal system.

A Legal Review of the “First to File” Principle in Indonesia’s Trademark Registration System
This study examines the legal construction, application, and limitations of the First to File principle within Indonesia’s trademark registration system. The research employs a non empirical normative legal method grounded in doctrinal legal inquiry. Legal materials consist of Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications, Government Regulation Number 22 of 2018 concerning International Trademark Registration under the Madrid Protocol, relevant ministerial regulations, international legal instruments, and scholarly literature on intellectual property law. The analysis applies statutory, conceptual, and doctrinal approaches supported by grammatical, systematic, and teleological interpretation. The findings indicate that the First to File principle functions as the central mechanism for allocating trademark rights and promoting legal certainty through a constitutive registration framework. The study also demonstrates that the principle is not absolute because its operation is constrained by doctrines concerning good faith, protection of well known marks, prior reputation, and judicial intervention in cases involving substantive injustice. The research further identifies the need for stronger substantive examination, improved institutional safeguards, enhanced protection for small business actors, and broader dispute resolution mechanisms. A balanced framework integrating legal certainty and substantive justice is essential for the future development of trademark protection in Indonesia.
