Abstract:
This research aims to develop a legal framework in Indonesian Citizenship Education, considering that this field does not yet have a stand-alone epistemological foundation. To address these gaps, fundamental reasoning, logical structures, sources of knowledge, and truth criteria in Civic Education must be aligned with applicable scientific norms. The main concept studied in this study is the Role of Law in Civic Education, with an emphasis on legal mechanisms as policies and regulations that are coordinated between the central and regional governments. This coordination aims to ensure consistency in budget planning, implementation, supervision, and community involvement. By integrating legal principles in Civic Education, this research offers a more systematic approach to improving governance, strengthening civic awareness, and encouraging democratic participation. The findings of this study contribute to multidisciplinary discussions on law, education, and public policy, and provide insights for academics, policymakers, and educators in strengthening the linkages between legal studies and civic engagement.

Keywords: Civic Education, Legal Framework, Policy Coordination, Public Engagement, Governance.
