The development of the current era of disruption has resulted in changes in global and exponential patterns where speed is higher and the direction is difficult to predict, not only affecting economic actors but also influencing the decision makers and the performance of the government. Whereas the public policy making is still in linear pattern, resulting in slow decision making process and a failure in anticipating the disruption. The paper aims to find out whether the disruptive era influences government policy and or political interests. Cases discussed in this paper are the Terrorism Act and the Music Bill in Indonesia. In the case of the release of Abu Bakar Baasyir, a humanist-based policy seemed unstable to implement. Meanwhile, the discussion regarding the Music Bill was not deliberate enough among the actors. This paper uses descriptive-qualitative approach with library research as the data collection methods. This research provides suggestions for the government in anticipating the disruptive factors for policy-making process in the future
