How is the interest battle in the politization of this nation’s direction? Who has the most power to decide the nation’s direction at last? This research used descriptive-explanative qualitative research method by doing literature studies. Based on the research result, the State Policy Direction is still relevant and it still has to answer the big direction which will be pursued by this country even until a hundred years ahead. The formulation of the country’s direction in politization of policy can be done in three scenarios. The first scenario, giving authority to People's Consultative Assembly to establish the State Policy Direction. The second scenario, State Policy Direction is established through Constitution. The third scenario, as a middle ground, State Policy Direction will be divided into two, which are as State Policy, established by People's Consultative Assembly, and the national development planning system in Constitution.
