Lentera Hukum

Aims & Scope

LENTERA HUKUM is an open-access peer-reviewed scholarly journal focusing on legal issues arising in Indonesia and other countries in the Southern Hemisphere.

This journal aspires to provide a comparative and interdisciplinary forum to particularly disseminate up-to-date analysis on constitutionalism, international governance, human rights law, environmental law, technology law, and legal pluralism within the Global South perspective.

Indonesia is characterised as a heterogeneous nation with European, Islamic, and indigenous legal traditions; often referred to as distinct from its colonial-origin legal system.

While World War II ended, Indonesia's endeavours for legal development and democratisation have faced challenges such as authoritarianism, inequality, and divided society amidst the unfinished project of legal transplants, as they have been also encountered by many other Global South countries.

Hitherto, the discourses on Indonesia's legal development and those in the other Global South countries remain relevant due to their relatively similar and unique pathways with arduous tasks in developing the legal system.

They also experienced colonialism and imperialism in the past, followed by current efforts to consolidate and leverage state capacity to the emergence of nationalising, developmental, and neoliberal agendas.
