THE RISE AND DECLINE OF RESPONSIVE JUDICIAL REVIEW IN INDONESIA

The Indonesian Constitutional Court, at some point in history, has employed responsive judicial review. The first-generation Court under Jimly Asshiddiqie employed various strategies in response to some political and economic issues that arose in that period. The second-generation Court under Mohammad Mahfud explicitly declared itself as a responsive Court. This declaration is due to Mahfud's strong adherence to the theory of responsive law, and he continued to apply such a theory on the bench. Nevertheless, under the chairmanship of Arief Hidayat and Anwar Usman, the third-generation Court has minimised its responsive role and, to some extent, has become an unresponsive Court.
