challenges. The question is why the concept of the Omnibus
Law was chosen as a strategy by the Government to deal with
regulatory obstacles? Is Omnibus Law can be the right strategy
to overcome regulatory problems in Indonesia. This problem is
solved by using a type of qualitative research using a socio-
legal approach based on secondary data and supplemented
with primary data obtained through interviews.
Keyword: Omnibus Law, laws, regulation
I. INTRODUCTION
The term Omnibus law has resounded in
Indonesia since the President of the Republic of
Indonesia, Joko Widodo delivered his first speech in his
inauguration on October 20, 201.[1] The idea of the
omnibus law became a discussion among the law-forming
institutions other than the Government, namely the
People's Representative Council of the Republic of
Indonesia and the Regional Representative Council of the
Republic of Indonesia. In the National Legislation
Program 2020-2024, the proposed draft bill with the
concept of omnibus law is 3 (three) out of 248 draft laws,
namely the Draft Bill on Employment Creation; Draft Bill
on Development and Strengthening of the Financial
Sector; and the Draft Bill on Tax Provisions and Facilities
for Economic Engagement.
Omnibus comes from the Latin word omnis
which means "all". if related to the concept of law in the
Black Law Dictionary, the omnibus means numerous
objects or items at once; many things or having various
purposes. Likewise in Gluck and Connel, the omnibus
law: packages together several measures into one or
combines diverse subjects into a single law.The various
meanings of the omnibus can be understood as a statutory
regulation that is made to target a major issue that can
revoke or change several lawsat once to be simple. As
what has been released, and is known through research
and websites, the number of laws and regulations in
Indonesia have reached the stage of hyper regulation or
obesity. For example, on the website peraturan.go.id, for
example, it is known that there are already 1687 laws, 180
Government Regulations in lieu of laws, 4558
Government Regulations, 2008 Presidential Regulations,
Ministerial Regulations 14722, Regulations of Non-
Ministerial Government Institutions 3758, Regional
Regulations 15965.[2]
In the condition of Indonesian regulation, the
concept of omnibus law is a concern and offers a strategy
to simplify regulation in Indonesia. However, the question
that raises is why the concept of the Omnibus Law was
chosen as a strategy by the Government to deal with
regulatory obstacles? and Whether the Omnibus Law can
be the right strategy to overcome regulatory problems in
Indonesia.
II. RESEARCH METHOD
The method used in this research is qualitative. The
approach used is normative to question the omnibus law
strategy as a problem solver for overlapping regulations in
Indonesia.[3] This study relies heavily on secondary data.
The data obtained is then collected to be validated and
described in the research report.
III. FINDING & DISCUSSION
A. Omnibus As Astrategyto Simplify The Regulation
The problem of hyper regulation in Indonesia has
been raised by various studies including its impact on
regulatory overlaps. The Center for Law and Policy
Studies, for example notes that from October 2014 to
2018, there were around 7,621 ministerial regulations.
While the number of presidential regulations produced
during the last four years is only 765 and government
regulations amounting to 452. [4]. From this amount it
can be stated that indeed the number of laws and
regulations in Indonesia is too much. With this amount,
according to the Regulatory Quality Index issued by the
World Bank, Indonesia's position during 1966-2017 has
always been ranked 92 out of 193 countries.[5]
Hyper and obese regulatory conditions cause
Indonesia to deal with overlapping legal issues.
Inconsistency and disharmony caused by hyper regulation
become one of the main factors inhibiting Indonesia's
competitiveness. Whereas the competitiveness of a nation
determines the ability of a country to attract investors to
their country.[6] The condition of Indonesia's

competitiveness is affected by indications of the lack of
ease of doing business in Indonesia, so that investors are
less interested in investing in Indonesia. This is because,
according to the World Bank, Indonesia has multi-layered
procedures, at least 10 stages with an estimated 19.6 days.
This ranks Indonesia 73rd out of 190 countries with ease
of business and ranks 50th as a competitive country, or
dropped to fifth in 2018. [7]
Etymologically, strategy is a step to overcome
obstacles, accept challenges. [8]One obstacle experienced
by Indonesia is that the bureaucratic process of so many
regulations hinders investment and competitiveness. The
challenge, development in the era of digital society and
the era of distrust requires the country to be prepared to
face the quality of human resources, productivity,
innovation and competitiveness readiness. In addition,
challenges that Indonesia will face in demographic bonus
in 2045. Other challenges faced include infrastructure
development accompanied by structural reforms and
strengthening human resource competencies.If described,
the challenges that will be faced by Indonesia, namely the
development of the internet and the use of digital
technology in Indonesia, the number of productive age
population reaches up to 68% or equivalent to 200 million
people in 2030, and economic inequality which is
reflected by poverty in eastern Indonesia 18.01 percent ,
10.3 percent in the west, and urban 7.02 percent.
Meanwhile, income inequality in rural areas is 0.324 and
urban areas are 0.4.[9]
The omnibus was chosen as a strategy to overcome
the challenges and obstacles of regulation in Indonesia,
because it is believed to have several advantages over the
application of the omnibus law concept used by several
countries, among others:[10]
1.Addressing both vertical and horizontal public
policy conflicts effectively and efficiently;
2.Harmonizing government policies, both at the
central and regional levels;
3.Simplifying the licensing process more
integrated and effective;
4.Breaking the convoluted bureaucratic chains;
5.Improving the coordination between related
agencies because it is regulated in an
integrated policy;
6.Providing guarantees of legal certainty and legal
protection for policy makers
B. Omnibus In Indonesia’s Regulation Systems
With all the advantages carried by the omnibus law to
overcome obstacles and face challenges by Indonesia in
terms of regulation, what is often debated by academics is
the matter of the suitability of the statutory system of
legislation in Indonesia.
Omnibus law is believed to be something that can
solve regulatory problems, namely hyper and
overlapping.Harmonization is no longer considered a
capable strategy to solve the problem. Omnibus law
breakthrough.
Omnibus is indeed counted as a strategy carried out
by several countries, such as the United States, Belgium
and the United Kingdom, although to implement it, the
costs required are not small and the time required is not
short. However, the Omnibus is considered capable,
because it is related to or dealing with various objects at
once, including many things or having various goals.[11]
The Omnibus Law practice that is often referred to is
the system used by the Serbian state. adopting Omnibus
Law is Serbia. Serbia, adopted the Omnibus Law in 2002
which regulates the autonomous status of the Vojvodina
Province which is included in Serbia. The law covers the
jurisdiction of the Vojvodina provincial government
regarding culture, education, language, media, health,
sanitation, health insurance, pensions, social protection,
tourism, mining, agriculture, and sports.[12]
Indonesia in the National Legislation Program this
year, and in the long term 2020-2024 plans to form an
Omnibus Law Bill, but various discussions show that
omnibus law is not suitable to be applied in Indonesia
because it is considered undemocratic. Meanwhile,
according to Maria Farida Indrati, omnibus law is
commonly used in countries that adopt a common law
system."[13] In addition to the common law, the omnibus
law is also a law produced by the parliamentary system,
so that the one who has the power to form a law is
parliament, the President only vetos a law that he does not
approve. With a parliamentary system, laws are only
made by Parliament without involving the public, so the
omnibus law is called anti-democracy.
In addition, the omnibus law bill planned for this
year's National Legislation Program has absolutely no
effect on the number of bills proposed by the House of
Representatives, the Government and the Regional
Representative Council. Moreover, the Regional
Representative Council, the Government and the Regional
Representative Council do not have the same concept of
the omnibus law, so the Government has its own omnibus
law bill, the House of Representatives and the Regional
Representative Council also seek their own concept of the
omnibus law. Coupled with normative conditions based
on Article 20 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of
Indonesia which stipulates that the formation of Laws in
Indonesia is under the authority of the House of
Representatives, with the joint agreement of the President.
There is an executive role in the formation of laws in
Indonesia, so it is rather difficult if the concept of the
omnibus law bill only comes from one party forming the
law.
Referring to the regulatory system in Indonesia, the
Omnibus law will have its own challenges. For example,
about the type and hierarchy of laws and regulations in
Indonesia, which are familiar with implementing
regulations and implementing technical regulations. The
omnibus law will have implementing regulations and
technical regulations, which means that it will not
significantly reduce the number of laws and regulations in
Indonesia. Not to mention, this omnibus law bill will also
be implemented in the regions. This condition shows that

omnibus law as a strategy must be re-strategized in the
statutory system in Indonesia.
.
IV. CONCLUSION
The omnibus was chosen as a strategy to overcome
the challenges and obstacles of regulation in Indonesia,
because it is believed to have several advantages in
applying the concept of the omnibus law used by several
countries, while addressing both vertical and horizontal
public policy conflicts effectively and efficiently,
harmonizing government policies, both at the central level
and in the regions, and guarantee legal certainty and legal
protection for policy makers. The Omnibus law has not
been able to become a strategy to parse regulatory
problems in Indonesia, because the statutory regulatory
system in Indonesia requires implementing regulations
and implementing technical regulations of a law. not to
mention the system of law formation in Indonesia which
is not in parliamentary, but on legislative powers that
require joint approval from the executive.

... In the environmental issue, the Indonesian legal system has been significantly impacted by the Omnibus Law, particularly in the environment and natural resources (Sembiring, Fatimah, and Widyaningsih 2020). Furthermore, Anggraeni, Indra, and Rachman (2020) mentioned that the Omnibus Law has not become a strategy for answering regulatory issues in Indonesia. Nonetheless, there remains a research gap in the literature as none of those mentioned above studies explain the flawed process of Omnibus Law as an impact of democratic deconsolidation. ...

Indonesia as a post-authoritarian democratic country has made impressive progress in its democratic transition. However, there is a significant contradiction in the democratic process, particularly in policy and law-making. This article queries to what extent democratic deconsolidation contributes to the ratification of the Omnibus Law on Job Creation in Indonesia. This research uses a qualitative method by using academic literature, news analysis, and official government documents. The study employs various theoretical approaches, including horizontal accountability by Wolfgang Merkel, discursive participation by Jürgen Habermas, and democratic civil-military relations by Samuel Huntington. The first finding shows that the accumulation of Joko Widodo's political power has affected the quality of debate and the agreement during the deliberation of the Omnibus Law in the parliament. Second, the opaque process by limiting public participation has narrowed the space for the democratic mobilization of the citizens. Third, the increasing number of retired armed forces in domestic affairs has resulted in the dual function of military power in securing the country and the economic development agenda. The study shows that the deconsolidation of democracy has contributed to the ratification of the Omnibus Law on Job Creation which was deliberated through a non-transparent mechanism.
... Apart from a few articles in the newspaper providing comments and critism on the impact of omnibus law towards the Indonesian economy, no wide ranging or in-depth research on agriculture sector has been conducted. Nor has any studies been undertaken using Islamic perspective as a basis of analysis, most of them are using secular pragmatic approach, such as Anggraeni & Rachman (2020) and Sihombing & Hamid (2020). This study proses to fill that gap by using an Islamic viewpoint to describe and analyse the potential challenges arise from the omnibus law and proposing alternatives for Indonesian agriculture sector. ...

At the end of 2020, the Indonesian Parliament approved the Job Creation Law, commonly known as the "Omnibus Law", which introduces key amendments to several sectors, including the agriculture sector. Through this legislation, the Indonesian government plans to increase food trade and open up opportunities for the private sector to be more involved in increasing Indonesia's agricultural productivity. However, many observers consider that the Omnibus Law is unfavourable for farmers and the agricultural sector because it no longer requires the government to prioritize local agriculture products, and only imposes an obligation on the government to increase the productivity of local agriculture. Imports become one of the main sources of domestic food supply, apart from domestic production and national food reserves. The law will also remove the restriction for foreign investment in the horticulture sector and introduce a land bank to collect vacant land which will be redistributed by the government. Based on this background, this article aims to provide an overview of the impact of the Omnibus law on the current agricultural sector in Indonesia. A descriptive analysis method is used to compare the Omnibus law with the original laws relating to the agriculture sector. Finally, by taking on an Islamic perspective, it will discuss the substance of the Omnibus law, the essence of the Indonesian agriculture sector in relation to relevant regulations in terms of challenges and upcoming prospects, as well as policy implications as a conclusion.
... The Government apparatus or Parliament members are obliged to drafting both ordinary and omnibus bills based on ideological, economic, political, and social aspects. However, despite the noble aims of this approach to pursue an efficient, effective, and comprehensive legislative drafting framework, this practice portrays overambitious elites desire, 117 undemocratic symptoms, deprivation of basic human rights, and the decline of democratic rule of law values. In this context, the abuse of omnibus legislation practice is related to the ignorance of ideological, economic, political and social implications 118 without an accurate public benefit to those affected by its enactment. ...

Globally, most developing countries struggle to shift their legislation paradigm by proposing legislative reform. This is because these countries have realised legislative reform ability to create an effective, efficient, and comprehensive legislative drafting framework within legal transplanted omnibus legislation. Therefore, this research aims to determine the use of the omnibus legislation as a comparative legal tool in Indonesia, Turkey, and Serbia to identify, analyze, and explain their legislative process. In this context, this research proposes the importance of omnibus legislation despite the number of possibility-driven factors, obstacles, and standard measurements to pursue legislative reform agenda by developing countries.

This study aims to conduct a critical study of the process of formulating the "omnibus law" on job creation from the perspective of legal politics and good governance through a normative method using a conceptual and statute approach and utilizing secondary and primary legal materials which are then critically analyzed through prescription. The results of this study ultimately conclude that from a legal political perspective, the process of forming this law is very problematic and procedurally flawed. In addition, this law is a response from policymakers who are political in nature to a complex situation which in fact creates complex derivative problems as well. This is inseparable from the nature of the omnibus law itself, which lacks democracy, participation, reduces accuracy and prudence in its preparation, and has the potential to exceed the provisions in the constitution. Therefore, based on the good governance point of view, the process of forming the Omnibus Law on Job Creation has not fulfilled the principles of good governance in the form of the principles of legitimacy, transparency, accountability, responsiveness, and the rule of law. The principles of effectiveness and efficiency in the principles of good governance in this Law can still be considered

As it has been released, and it is known through research and websites, the number of laws and regulations in Indonesia has reached the hyperregulation or obesity stage (Anggraeni & Rachman, 2020) The views on the draft law are the pros and cons. Despite its wellproposed goals, some believe that simplifying licensing could do more harm than good. ...

In academic research, the Internet and the public domain's topic now has a permanent place; it is entering the mainstream of political communication studies. The coming out of the same ideas and opinions with social media can build a discourse for further discussion. One of the viral and trending discourses on Indonesian twitter was the rejection of OMNIBUSLAW; many people issued opinions using the hashtags #MosiTidakPercaya and #Tolakomnibuslaw, which emerged as a result of the passing of the omnibus law, which contains many irregularities in its ratification. This research was conducted by taking data on Twitter in October 2020 and processed using the Nvivo 12 Plus software. The results of this study indicate that the social media using twitter as information is 25%, where the public uses Twitter as a means of seeking information on the Job Creation Bill in its development process and its rejection in it, political communication is 48%, communication that is built has an interest in running political goals and as a movement. 25% of politics in pressuring the government and forming public opinion on the Work Creation Bill and a place for public space to communicate can be seen in the public space that people are interested in voicing their anxieties if there is a disagreement of opinion between stakeholders and the wider community.

Dari pernyataan tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa Omnibus Law merupakan suatu konsep atau metode yang dilakukan pemerintah untuk tujuan pembuatan regulasi dengan cara menggabungkan, menambah, mengamandemen, hingga menghapus beberapa peraturan yang substansinya berbeda dalam payung hukum yang sama.

Pengkreditan pajak masukan merupakan salah satu kewajiban yang harus dilaksanakan pengusaha kena pajak. Dalam rangka memberikan kemudahan dan keringanan bagi PKP (Pengusaha Kena Pajak) selaku wajib pajak, otoritas pajak mengatur ketentuan tersebut melalui Relaksasi Pengkreditan Pajak Masukan di dalam Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja. Namun di dalam pengimplementasiannya relaksasi pengkreditan pajak masukan masih menimbulkan konflik antar pengusaha kena pajak, salah satunya terkait pengkreditan pajak masukan sebelum pengusaha dikukuhkan sebagai pengusaha kena pajak. Peraturan turunan lain terkait pengkreditan pajak masukan juga dirasa belum mencerminkan keadilan dan dianggap sudah tidak relevan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk meninjau lebih lanjut bagaimana pelaksanaan Pedoman Penghitungan Pengkreditan Pajak Masukan sebelum pengusaha dikukuhkan sebagai PKP serta memberikan saran dan masukan bagi otoritas pajak bagaimana seharusnya peraturan mengenai pengkreditan pajak masukan agar sesuai dengan prinsip dan karakteristik Pajak Pertambahan Nilai. Dengan demikian, penelitian ini perlu dilakukan agar nantinya peraturan pengkreditan pajak masukan dapat direformulasi. mengingat disahkannya Omnibus Law merupakan momentum yang sangat tepat bagi Direktorat Jenderal Pajak untuk memperbaiki regulasi di sektor perpajakan.

The strategy adopted by Coca Cola Amatil Indonesia to conquer Indonesia market is transnational strategy, which has characteristics of high in local responsiveness and also high in global integration. Meanwhile, the SWOT analysis suggests that Coca Cola should put priority on market penetration first instead of market development for the time being. Company should focus on sales and distribution in specific market first then explore more market for their product. There are still many possible markets to exploit in Indonesia as well as abroad.

As liberal-based political-economic order increasingly globalised, each country have to geard in improving its competitiveness. Each country attempt to optimise its comparative advantage in order to survive in such an order. Judging from political perspective, the author argues that capability to perform competitively at the global and international arena, Indonesia has to institutionalise domestic political economis system, both at national and local level.

Socio-legal researchers increasingly recognise the need to employ a wide variety of methods in studying law and legal phenomena, and the need to be informed by an understanding of debates about theory and method in mainstream social science. The papers in this volume illustrate how a range of topics, including EU law, ombudsman, judges, lawyers, Shariah Councils and the quality assurance industry can be researched from a socio-legal perspective. The objective of the collection is to show how different methods can be used in researching law and legal phenomena, how methodological issues and debates in sociology are relevant to the study of law, and the importance of the debate between "structural" and "action" traditions in researching law. It also approaches the methodological problem of how the sociology of law can address the content of legal practice from a variety of perspectives and discusses the relationship between pure and applied research. The editors provide a critical introduction to each of the six sections, and a general introduction on law, sociology and method. The collection will provide an invaluable resource for socio-legal researchers, law school researchers and postgraduates.
