One Dimentional View of Power with the Process of Islamic Law Implementation: The Relevance of Theory in the New Order Era

Abstract

The Power is a dominative social relationship indicating the existence of a power possessed by a person or institution to impose his will. The relationship between power and law presents a functional pattern, namely power as a tool for establishing, enforcing and implementing law, while law for power is a tool for legalizing, controlling and providing a platform for accountability for power. By using the literature study method in writing articles, which in collecting sources come from books, scientific articles and other sources that are relevant to this discussion. The theory of one-dimensional view of power is a theory of power that ignores the context of power. If humans were to simultaneously increase their power, they would compete for control, resulting in a power struggle. Since the end of the Old Order regime, a political strategy has begun to be developed among the Muslim elite so that Islamic law in Indonesia can be applied. The development of Islamic law at this time experienced ups and downs, because the political strategy used by Suharto still followed colonial politics which caused disharmony between Muslims and the government. However, it was during this period that actually became the initial milestone in the development of Islamic law in a concrete way, starting from the formation of marriages to the Compilation of Islamic Law in Indonesian.
