Corruption is a significant problem in Indonesia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome reasons for this corruption are straightforward, stemming from the authoritarianism of the Soeharto New Order, while other factors are less apparent. As Todung Mulya Lubis, one of Indonesia's leading human rights lawyers and most influential legal thinkers, explains, \"Now corruptors come from the legislature, government, judiciary, and business communities, and they are not simply thieves but rent-seekers, benefiting from rapid economic development and weak law enforcement.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Lubis, the best efforts of the most unswerving and talented corruption fighters in Indonesia have been frustrated since the Soeharto regime was overthrown a generation ago. However, as Lubis also shows, there have recently been many successful prosecutions of corrupt officials, from the lowest levels to the very upper echelons of government and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe creation of the Indonesian Corruption Eradication Commission, the KPK, in 2003, was an inspired move. Despite its challenges, arising from both internal dynamics and the often hostile social and institutional environments in which it has operated, the legal independence and dogged idealism of the KPK have made it a genuine force for renewal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46657537802476,"sku":"9780522879643","price":43.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3930973482374.jpg?v=1752487736"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/todung-mulya-lubis.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
