Contextualization of Interpretation of State Control in Managing Oil and Gas

Abstract

Contextualization of the meaning of state control in managing Oil and gas in the Decision of the Constitutional Court is an interesting discourse as a constitutional study of the economy and natural resources. This study focused on two things, first, the interpretation of state control in managing natural resources; then the contextualization of the meaning of state control in managing oil and gas. This study used normative methods with a descriptive analysis approach. The results of the study showed that the interpretation of state control in oil and gas management mandates the state in the form of policy (beleid), administration (bestuursdaad), regulation (regelendaad), management (beheersdaad) and supervision (toezichthoudensdaad) for the greatest benefit of the people. The contextualization of the meaning of state control in managing oil and gas gives authority to the government through the State-Owned Enterprise and/or Regional-Owned Enterprise not to the implementing body so that the principle of state control is not reduced.
