This article analyzes the legal politics of recentralization of mineral and coal mining licensing in Indonesia from a prophetic legal perspective. The urgency of this research arises from the increasing agrarian conflicts, environmental damage, and uneven distribution of economic benefits, which show weaknesses in mining governance in both the decentralized and post-centralization eras. The amendment through Law Number 3 of 2020 marks a shift of authority from the local government to the central government, which aims to improve governance, but creates new problems related to participation and justice. This study aims to analyze the legal politics of the recentralization of mineral and coal mining licensing and evaluate it from the perspective of prophetic law, which includes the values of humanization, liberation, and transcendence. The method used is normative juridical with a legal and conceptual approach. The results show that recentralization strengthens state control and increases administrative efficiency, but has not been able to guarantee substantive justice due to limited public participation, unequal distribution of benefits, and weak environmental protection. From the perspective of prophetic law, these policies do not fully reflect the values of humanization, liberation, and transcendence. The novelty of this research lies in the use of prophetic law as an analytical framework in the legal politics of natural resources, which was previously mainly studied through political economy or administrative governance approaches. The study also proposes a reconstruction of legal politics through a participatory decentralization model based on prophetic values, a synthesis between centralization and decentralization. This model is expected to achieve fairer, more inclusive, and sustainable mining governance.
