Systemic Corruption and Regime Change: State, Business and Political Elites in Indonesia and Implications for Governance Reform

发展一个稳定、繁荣和民主的印度尼西亚对澳大利亚的长期安全至关重要。系统性腐败已被确定为这种发展的根本障碍，澳大利亚政府通过澳大利亚国际发展署资助机构改革计划。然而，正式的法律仍然无效，腐败继续猖獗，这表明政策设计的弱点。本项目将解释相互竞争的政治精英如何系统地利用国家的杠杆在商业和社会中重新分配资源，并试图确定支撑这种行为的正式和非正式规则。结果将是更好的模式和更有效的治理改革。

The development of a stable, prosperous and democratic Indonesia is fundamental to Australia's long-term security. Systemic corruption has been identified as a fundamental impediment to such development and the Australian Government through AUSAID funds institutional reform programs. Yet formal law remains ineffective and corruption has continued to flourish, pointing to weaknesses of policy design. This project will explain how competing political elites systematically use the leverage of the state to redistribute resources within business and society and seek to identify the formal and informal rules that underpin such behaviour. Outcomes will be better models and more effective governance reforms.
