Abstract
The background of this research is based on the degradation of the values of the archipelago insight in the policy of security, socio-cultural, legal, and national economic defense. The Wawasan Nusantara has become a vision for the development of the nation and state which has been long instilled by Indonesia's founders. In addition, President Joko Widodo's vision of becoming a maritime country towards a world maritime axis must be supported by the enthusiasm to implement the concept of Wawasan Nusantara in all aspects of maritime policies. The purpose of this study is to find a model for regulating the Wawasan Nusantara as an Indonesian maritime development strategy towards a world maritime axis which has been designed in the Draft Law on Wawasan Nusantara. This research produced an important finding that conceptually the insight of the archipelago is a paradigm, the perspective of the Indonesian nation about itself which includes geography, politics, socio-culture, defense, security, economy, and environment. The relationship between Pancasila, the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, and the archipelago insight is, Pancasila is an ideological foundation and basic norm for the birth of the archipelago insight. The Wawasan Nusantara is a legal principle that is the basis for the birth of written legal norms. It brought consequences that it is difficult to regulate Wawasan Nusantara in the form of a positive and operational legal norm. However, its norms and spirit have been accommodated in various laws and regulations of the maritime sector. Thus, Wawasan Nusantara doesn't need to be regulated in a special law.
