Administrative Law Analysis of Strategies for Improving Public Policy Quality in Indonesia
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study examines strategies for improving public policy quality in Indonesia through an administrative law lens, focusing on the weak integration of normative and empirical aspects. Using normative legal research, the findings indicate that policy formulation is dominated by legalistic approaches, limited evidence-based implementation, and low public participation. These deficiencies frequently lead to maladministration and the criminalization of policies, which inhibits bureaucratic innovation. Moreover, the lack of Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) integration results in regulatory overlaps. The research concludes that enhancing policy quality requires internalizing the General Principles of Good Governance (AAUPB) and shifting toward substantive participation. This study offers a theoretical contribution by moving administrative law toward a preventive function. Practically, it provides recommendations for strengthening oversight and implementing digital platforms for engagement. By adopting these strategies, the Indonesian government can create more accountable, responsive policies that align with good governance standards and effectively mitigate future administrative legal disputes.
