About the Journal

Indonesian Constitutional Studies is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing scholarly exploration of Indonesia’s constitutional framework, its historical evolution, and its contemporary role in shaping the nation's political, legal, and social systems. The journal focuses on the dynamic relationship between Indonesia’s constitution and broader themes such as democracy, governance, human rights, and the rule of law. It aims to facilitate interdisciplinary discourse, inviting contributions from scholars, practitioners, and policymakers who engage critically with the practical and theoretical dimensions of constitutional law in Indonesia.

The journal covers a broad range of topics, from constitutional design and reforms to the role of judicial review and constitutional courts in strengthening democracy and protecting human rights. It also explores the intersection of the constitution with indigenous rights, religious freedoms, and Indonesia’s rich cultural diversity. Comparative studies of Indonesia’s constitutional framework in relation to other national systems are encouraged, alongside analyses of how constitutional provisions impact political participation, elections, and civil liberties. Furthermore, the journal examines the evolving role of the state and non-state actors within constitutional law, as well as the challenges posed by socio-economic disparities and environmental concerns. Indonesian Constitutional Studies aims to be a vital resource for academics, legal scholars, and practitioners, fostering dialogue that supports the ongoing development of a democratic, just, and inclusive society in Indonesia, while also contributing to global discussions on constitutionalism and governance.
