The Intersections of Politics, Law and Social Stratification in Indonesia

The purpose of the study is to describe the dynamic of legal, politics, and social hierarchies in
Indonesia. Through qualitative approaches and document analysis, data were collected from a variety of
source both primary and secondary. These results demonstrate the complex relationship between legal,
political and social classes in Indonesia. Studies have found that legal systems often maintain and reinforce
existing social hierarchies, thereby creating and deepening social inequalities. Laws on land rights, labor
regulations, and access to justice have been examined and shown to unfairly support certain social groups
and marginalize others. The influence of political processes, such as power relations and corruption, is also
explored, highlighting their important role in shaping legal frameworks and deteriorating social strata.
Marginalized groups such as women, minorities and indigenous peoples face obstacles in claiming their
rights and enjoying justice, further empowering the disadvantaged. The implications of this dynamic for
social justice and fairness are significant. Maintaining social hierarchies hinders inclusive development,
exacerbates socioeconomic inequalities and limits social mobility
