ABSTRACT
Ideal legal development must be accompanied by awareness that law enforcement
is a social sub-system, so that environmental influences are quite significant, such as
the influence of political, economic, socio-cultural, security and security, science and
technology, education and so on. Only the commitment to the principles of the rule of law as
stated and implied in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and the principles
of law applicable in the environment of civilized nations (such as “the Basic Principles of
the Independence of Judiciary, 1985”) can prevent law enforcers from negative practices
due to highly complex environmental influences. Globalization will be an opportunity if we
are ready and able to use it well and try to overcome the dangers of national life. Conversely
it will cause disaster if we are not ready with “global vision” and drift along with the
negative sides. The dangerous sides to national life include: increasing interdependence
among nations, the enactment of international standard standards in various fields of life,
a tendency to weaken ethnocentric ties and national ties, domination of foreign capital
and an increasingly private role strong, the development of regional and global welfare
concepts and social change are very fast.
