This research is about redesigning Indonesias decentralization policy towards special autonomy which aims to identify and analyze (1) the polemic on the implementation of Indonesias current decentralization policies and (2) offer a special Autonomy model as the ideal concept for the future implementation of Indonesias decentralization policies. This research is a normative legal research based on the literature study, divided into primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials. The approach used in the research area : (1) statute approach; (2) analytical approach (analytical approach); (3) comparative approach; (4) case approach (case approach) and (5) conceptual approach (conceptual approach). The library data that has been collected will be analyzed descriptively. This research concludes that the implementation of the decentralization policy nowdays still creates problems between the symmetrical decentralization model (regional autonomy) and the special autonomy models (asymmetric decentralization) but only specifically to Aceh, Papua, Yogyakarta and Jakarta. There is no Lex Specialis that provides an equitable legal umbrella for all regions to demand "special autonomy" as constitutional rights such as those granted to Aceh or Papua. Even though it is still considered a "trial an error", the choice of asymmetrical decentralized models (Special Autonomy) is the best rational choice for a very broad and heterogeneous country of Indonesia". Ideally, asymmetric decentralization policies in the future are no longer based on sporadic demands, but it must be designed that are comprehensively and systematically prepared by considering all aspects, especially human resources, natural resources, local wisdom, and the prevailing customary government system.
