Sinopsis Buku An Introduction to Indonesian Law: Unity in Diversity
Indonesian law is a remarkably complex mixture of Dutch legislation, uniquely indigenous institutions and Islamic commandments. It is hoped that this book will clarify some of the dimensions of this complexity, and that it will help to fill the need for introductory materials in English.
The book is organized loosely around a general theme of fundament al importance in Indonesia the division of the country into “population groups” based on racial origin, and the legal pluralism which has resulted from this division.
The national motto of Indonesia Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, “Unity in Diversity” is in part a response to this division. In the first chapter we discuss the origins of legal pluralism. In Chapters 2-5 we focus on several substantive areas marriage and divorce, agrarian law, mortgages, contract law where pluralism has been especially important.
In chapter 6 we describe the law of conflicts which developed in the 20th century as a result of legal pluralism. Finally, in chapter 7, we consider some of the efforts in the last several years to achieve unification.
This edition constitutes a major revision of the stencil version published in 1972, and incorporates changes in the law through August 1973. Chapters 5 (Contract Law) and 6 (Conflict of Laws) have been entirely revised and rewritten.
New sections have also been added to most of the other chapters, and detailed footnotes have been included for the first time, Chapter 2 (Marriage and Divorce) was completed prior to the enactment of the new Marriage Law in December, 1973, and we have not included any reference to it.
As implementing regulations have not yet been adopted, it is still premature to speculate on the impact of the new law on the regulations described herein. Chapter 4 (Mortgage Law) is based on a forthcoming article by Robert N. Hornick entitled “Indonesian Mortgage Law.”
Chapter 7 (Lawyers, Law Reform and the Quest for Unity) is based on a paper entitled “The Role of Law in the Development Process and the Role of the Lawyer in Indonesia” presented by Sudargo Gautama at a Colloquium on Indonesian Law the paper is printed at 14 Malaya L. Rev. 259 (1972)
