Abstract

Democratic governance reform is an important issue in the development of a rule-of-law state because government administration requires not only political legitimacy but also legal certainty, transparency, and accountability. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of legal regulations in supporting democratic governance reform and to examine the urgency of strengthening regulations in responding to the development of modern public administration. This research employs a normative juridical method using statutory and conceptual approaches. The analysis focuses on Law Number 30 of 2014 concerning Government Administration, Law Number 14 of 2008 concerning Public Information Disclosure, and Law Number 25 of 2009 concerning Public Services as legal instruments for establishing transparent and accountable governance. The findings indicate that these regulations provide a legal foundation for limiting governmental authority, strengthening public oversight mechanisms, and improving the quality of public services. However, the effectiveness of these regulations still requires stronger implementation, institutional capacity, and adaptation to the development of digital governance. This study confirms that democratic governance reform requires harmonization between regulations, administrative practices, and rule-of-law principles to establish a responsive and accountable government system.
