LEGAL POLITICS OF MOVING THE STATE CAPITAL CITY (JAKARTA) FROM JAVA ISLAND TO KALIMANTAN ISLAND

Abstract

As the center of the economy and central of government, Jakarta has a double burden, which causes its performance as a capital city not to run optimally. Moving the capital city from Java to Kalimantan will impact the change in the government administration structure in the new capital city. Apart from that, moving the nation's capital is hoped to create equality in various fields of justice, creating an imbalance in economic growth between Java and outside Java. This research examines and analyzes legal politics regarding the delivery of capital cities as regulated by the Capital City Law. The research method used normative research, which focuses on the study of legal norms related to the birth of Law No. 3 of 2002 (Capital City). With various views, both agreeing and disagreeing, the government has begun implementing the development of the state capital in Kalimantan to create fair equality. It is hoped that visionary governance can be formed and bring a fast change to the new Capital City, and it is expected to impact economic growth in the surrounding area.
