DISCUSSION

I. Summary of The Books

1. SUB CHAPTER : PARTIES, INSTRUMENTATIONS, AND

PRACTICAL DEMOCRACY OF INDONESIA RELATED
PANCASILA AND UUD NRI 1945

BOOK I
A. Democracy and its Implementation
The discussion of the role of state and society can not be separated from
the study of democracy and this for two reasons. Firstly, virtually every
country in the world has made democracy its fundamental principle as has
been shown by the results of a UNESCO study in the early 1950s that
garnered more than 100 Western and Eastern scholars, while in democracies it
provided role to the state and society alive in different portions (despite the
same democratic country). Secondly, democracy as a state of state has
essentially given direction for the role of society to organize the state as its
highest organization but it turns out that democracy runs in different paths.

B. The Meaning and Development of Democracy

Etymologically the term democracy derives from the Greek "demos"
means the people and "kratos / kratein" means power. The basic concept of
democracy means "government of rule by the people". There is also a short
definition for the term democracy which is defined as the government or
power of the people by the people and for the people. However, the
application of democracy in various countries in the world, has its own
characteristics and specifications, which is usually strongly influenced by the
characteristics of society as people in a country. Democracy has significance
for the people who use it, because with democracy the right of the people to

2
decide the course of state organization is guaranteed. Therefore almost all the
understanding given for the term democracy is always providing an important
position for the people although the operational implications in various
countries are not always the same.

C. Forms of Democracy
According to Torres, democracy can be seen from two aspects: formal
democracy and substantive democracy, ie pointing to how the democratic
process is done (Winataputra, 2006). Formal democracy refers to democracy
in the sense of a governance system. This can be seen from the various
implementation of democracy in various countries, the nature of a country for
example can be applied a presidential or parliamentary system.

D. Democracy in Indonesia The development of democracy in Indonesia can

be divided into four periods:
1. The period 1945-1949, a period of parliamentary democracy that
accentuated the role of parliament and the party, the weakness of
parliamentary democracy gives an opportunity for the domination of political
parties and the House of Representatives.
2. The period 1949-1965, a period of guided democracy which in many
respects has deviated from constitutional democracy and further exemplifies
some aspects of people's democracy.
3. Period 1966-1998, Pancasila democracy era of new order era which is
constitutional democracy which accentuate presidential system, formal basis
of this period is Pancasila, 1945 Constitution and MPR / MPR Decree.
4. Period 1999 - present, Pancasila democracy era reform era, rooted in
multiparty power that seeks to restore the balance of power between state
institutions, between executives, legislative and judiciary.

E. Elements Supporting the Enhancement of Democracy

1. State of Law (rechstaat or the rule of law)

3
 The State of Law (rechstaat or the rule of law) has the understanding that it
provides legal protection to citizens through free and impartial judicial
institutions and guarantees human rights.
2. Civil Society (Civil Society)
The Civil Society (Civil Society) is a society with its open, egalitarian
characteristics, free from domination and state pressure. Civil society is a very
significant element in building democracy, namely the existence of
community participation in the decision-making process undertaken by the
state or government.
3. Strategic Alliance Group
The alliance of strategic groups consists of political parties, groups,
movements, pressure groups or interest groups including free and responsible
press.

BOOK II
A. Tracing the Concept and Urgency of Democracy Sourced from Pancasila
Etymologically, democracy comes from the Greek word demos meaning people
and cratos or cratein which means government or power. So, demos-cratein or demos-
cratos means people's government or people's power. Pancasila democracy in the
broadest sense is the sovereignty or supreme power is on the people who in its
implementation is imbued by the values of Pancasila. Pancasila democracy in the
strict sense is the sovereignty of the people carried out according to the wisdom of
wisdom in deliberations of representation.

B. Asking Reasons Why Democracy Needs Sourced from Pancasila

The crisis of people's political participation is caused by the lack of opportunities
to participate or because of the limited ability to participate in politics. More
specifically, the causes of such low levels of political participation are: (a) Low
education causes the people to be less active in implementing political participation;
(b) low economic level of the people; and (c) People's political participation. less get
a place by the Government. The emergence of rulers in democracy is characterized by

4
the proliferation of "political dynasties" that govern all aspects of public life:
government, institutions of representation, business, justice, and so forth by one
family or crony. As for democracy, disposing of people's sovereignty is due to the
unfortunate fact that after the collapse of the "autocratic" power structure it is not the
democracy we gain but the oligarchy in which power is centered on a small group of
elites, while the majority of the people (demos) remain far from sources power
(authority, money, law, information, education, etc.).

C. Exploring Historical, Sociological, and Political Resources on Democracy Sourced

from Pancasila
There are at least three sources that enliven the ideals of democracy in the heart of
the Indonesian nation. First, the tradition of collectivism from the village
deliberations. Second, the teachings of Islam that demand truth and divine justice in
society and brotherhood among humans as God's creatures. Third, Western socialist
ideas, which attract the attention of the leaders of the nationalist movement because
of the basic humanitarianism it defends and its objectives.

D. Building Arguments on the Dynamics and Challenges of Democracy Sourced from

Pancasila
The practice of Pancasila democracy goes according to the dynamics of the
development of Indonesian state life. The principles of Pancasila democracy have
been ideally formulated, while in the empirical level experiencing ups and downs. As
an alternative to the pattern of life in the state, the democratic system is considered
important and acceptable to many countries as a way to achieve the goals of living in
the state of welfare and justice.

E. Describe the Essence and Urgency of Pancasila Democracy

Democracy in addition to having a universal character, which is recognized by all
civilized peoples around the world, also has the characteristic that is typical of each
country. The characteristic of democracy in every country usually depends on the
ideology of each. Our democracy also has a universal character, also has special

5
 characteristics in accordance with the culture of the Indonesian nation based on
Pancasila. As a democracy rooted in the culture of the nation, the democratic life we
develop should refer to the foundation of Pancasila ideology and the constitutional
foundation of UD NRI 1945.

II. The Advantages and Weakness of The Books

 CHAPTER III
CONCLUSION

I. Knot
Thus we have seen that democracy in Indonesia has been running from time to
time. But we must know that the definition of Pancasila Democracy is a democracy
that is lived by the nation and state of Indonesia that is imbued and integrated by the
noble values of Pancasila. In the course of the Indonesian nation, Pancasila
Democracy also developed along with the turn of the period and leadership, from the
period of the independence revolution to the reform era. Yet despite the changing of
democratic leadership and leadership with the Pancasila guard, there is little
difference in the way that it depends on the leader of the state and the form of the
state at that time.

II. Advice
Rights and duties are an interrelated instrument, so that the implementation of the
matter must be carried out in a balanced manner so that there will be no imbalances
that will cause unexpected community upheaval. This book has advantages and
disadvantages of various aspects, both in terms of format and writing the structure of
the book, the use of language, the use of punctuation, the quality of the book content
and so forth. So, what are the advantages of this then should be increased again so
that the quality of this book is increasingly enhanced and the reader the more the
spirit to read it a few years in the future. And what the disadvantages of this book
should be improved so that the perfection of this book is accomplished.
