Abstract

This paper tries to discuss the latest socio-political developments in Indonesia during President Jokowi, a study of political journals and perspectives from the international community. The sources of literature that we use are various international publications and media highlights published in the last five years, both national and international journals. At the same time, the method is literature analysis involving data coding system, data evaluation, and interpreting conclusion drawing so that this finding is under the study question with high validity principle. Our searches are electronic. This study relies on secondary data. The series of reports for this study are in descriptive qualitative data format. The findings that we can convey are that the politics of the Jokowi era was the division of power between the executive and the legislature in the form of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia with a presidential system with a parliamentary system. In other words, Indonesia does not adhere to a system of separation of powers but rather a system of power-sharing between the executive at the center and the regions. Thus, these findings serve as additional input for future research on the same theme.
