Pancasila Ethics, Integrity, Political Pragmatism, Party SystemAbstract
This study aims to analyze the role of Pancasila ethics in addressing political
pragmatism within Indonesia’s party system and to formulate transformation
strategies that can foster a party system characterized by integrity. In Indonesia’s
political system, political pragmatism often leads to the neglect of Pancasila
values, resulting in political practices lacking integrity, such as transactional
politics and corruption. This study employs a qualitative approach with literature
analysis to explore the relationship between Pancasila values and the pragmatic
political practices occurring in Indonesia. The research findings indicate that to
address political pragmatism, political parties in Indonesia need to implement
transformation strategies that include character education for party leaders, the
application of transparency and accountability in party management, the
empowerment of internal democracy, and the strengthening of integrity in the
electoral process. This study concludes that the consistent application of
Pancasila values in the policies and practices of political parties can foster a party
system that is more integrity-driven and accountable to the people.
