This thesis examines the Indonesian Government Regulation 25/24, which enables re-ligious organizations to obtain mining concessions, focusing on the socio-legal ten-sions, and power dynamics between the government, regulation, and religious organi-zations. The thesis’ primary purpose is to critically analyze how regulation that is pre-sented in neutral and technocratic language and can be utilized as a mechanism of dom-ination and institutionalization. Further, this thesis applied Pierre Bourdieu’s frame-work such as Symbolic Violence, Doxa, Habitus, and Capital combined with Fair-clough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine legal text, court decisions, and official statements to reveal discourse patterns, social impacts, and institutionalizations of dominant ideas. This thesis suggests that as an outcome of discursive practice, reg-ulation is not only a normative instrument but also a complex medium for legitimizing the status quo, social structure, and institutionalization of dominant ideas, providing new insights for socio-legal studies particularly in examined regulation by applying CDA combine with Bourdieu’s framework.
