ABSTRACTThis study discusses the role of Islamic political parties in public policy formation in Indonesia, with a focus on a case study of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR RI). Three major parties, namely the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), the United Development Party (PPP), and the National Mandate Party (PAN), were analyzed based on their historical backgrounds, ideological approaches, and concrete contributions to the legislative process. Using descriptive qualitative methods and document analysis, this study finds that these three parties actively promote policies that represent Islamic values, such as strengthening the sharia economy, religious education, and family protection. However, they also face challenges in balancing ideological aspirations with the reality of Indonesian pluralism and internal party dynamics. The results of this study provide a comprehensive understanding of how Islamic political parties act as a constructive force in Indonesian democracy, while highlighting the dynamics of the relationship between religion and the state in the process of public policy formation.
