The Legal Politics Of The State Defense Industry In Indonesia

Abstract

The defense industry should be the concern of all stakeholders. The government, apart from producing regulations and being a supporter or endorser, has a vital contribution to make in the development of the defense industry because of its broad role as a user of defense industrial products.In general, the Defense industry can be defined as a meeting place between producers and consumers of defense products and their supporting industries. The market as a meeting place sometimes requires a chain of connections such as agents, distributors, exporters and importers. Supporting the defense industry, on the one hand, is needed to meet production factors and on the other hand, the defense industry products are needed to support the existence of other industries. Decree of the Minister of Defense Number: KEPI / 1008 / M / V / 2017 concerning the 2018 National Defense Policy as an example of regulations in national defense policy related to the defense industry. As for the principles of national defense development policy and national defense empowerment, it is stated that the development of the defense industry is to build a strong, independent industry.
