Abstract

National Strategic Projects are development policy instruments designed to accelerate economic growth, promote equitable development, create employment, and improve public welfare. Minister of National Development Planning Regulation No. 4 of 2025 expands the PSN designation mechanism by allowing private business entities to propose projects for PSN status, raising legal concerns regarding the use of public authority to facilitate privately initiated investments and potentially blurring the distinction between public and private interests while affecting regional government authority under decentralisation and regional autonomy. This normative legal study employs statutory and conceptual approaches to examine the legitimacy of privately initiated PSN designations based on the principles of public interest and regional autonomy. The findings indicate that the existing regulatory framework does not substantively fulfil these principles, creating a normative gap that undermines the legitimacy of the exercise of public authority. The novelty of this study lies in assessing privately initiated PSN designations through the combined framework of public interest and regional autonomy. Accordingly, this study recommends normative reconstruction through substantive public interest assessments, stronger regional government participation, integration of national and regional development planning, enhanced transparency and accountability, and meaningful public consultation.
