Editorial Policies

LENTERA HUKUM sets the journal policies as the journal's basic guidelines for our periodical publication. This page describes this journal's details as follows:

Aims & Scope

This journal is especially interested in publishing a cross-border legal analysis that addresses legal issues arising in Indonesia and other countries in the Southern Hemisphere. The publication aspires to provide a comparative and interdisciplinary forum to particularly disseminate up-to-date analysis on constitutionalism, international governance, human rights law, environmental law, technology law, and legal pluralism within the Global South perspective.

While its coverage is not limited to Indonesia, new submissions may deal with the following topics that:
   ● critically examine contemporary issues of human rights and constitutionalism from non-Western locations;
   ● engage with rules of environmental sustainability against development in emerging economies; 
   ● evaluate the legal framework of digital-related technology toward the rising economic power;
   ● involve a critical analysis of law and development in the global economy with its impact on post-colonial countries; and
   ● locate analytical foundations of legal pluralism in wider concerns of current reality.

All submissions from socio-legal to theoretical will be considered for review and publication. However, preference will be given to manuscripts with comparative and cross-disciplinary approaches. The authors are advised to submit a manuscript that:
   ● discusses law and its social, economic, and political contexts in Indonesia and the Global South countries;
   ● brings Indonesia and the Global South perspectives to socio-legal issues of international concerns; or
   ● uses Indonesia and the Global South countries as a starting point for a comparative exploration of legal conversation.
