DINAMIKA POLITIK HUKUM ISLAM DI NUSANTARA

Legal politics is an intent statement of the state authorities regarding the law that will be applied in their territory. In terms of state administration in Indonesia, legal politics means a legal policy that will be implemented nationally covering the aspects needed in the lawmaking. It is undeniable that Indonesia, which is the largest Moslem population in the world, determines the direction of its political policies and is definitely influenced by the dynamics of the Islamic flow and views of its citizens. So it is common in Indonesia that the term of Islamic law politics appears. The Islamic legal politics can be described into two ways, firstly as a legal product initiated by fiqh mujtahids, and secondly as a policy born from political experts in realizing benefit in order to face the times. Although the Republic of Indonesia (RI) does not constitutionally declare itself as a religious state, the implementation of Islamic law will continue to be pursued and encouraged to create law enforcement and social order based on ethics and values of Islamic teachings.Keywords: Islamic legal politics, legal dynamics, Indonesi
