Control Combating Corruption: A Governance Model from Indonesians' Perspective

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to propose an appropriate governance model to deal with corruption. This study reveals the indicators, from where and how corruption will be resisted. By using data governance and corruption control as well as the corruption perception index from WGI and TII in 2008-2018, this study proposed a quantitative approach to strengthen the results of the inference tests of the effect of good governance on the potential for corruption, confirming and expanding on work carried out with critical informants by Transparency International Indonesia (TII). The study found that, from the perspective of agency theory, the influence of governance on corruption has been proved, both in the context of the world and Indonesia. Good governance will make the trustee (agent) not arbitrarily follow their wishes through corruption to enrich themselves or other parties, but instead follow the mandate given by the principal (community). This study also shows, in the world context, that by adherence to ethical rules being followed by effective government, in stable political conditions, and public voices being heard, corruption can be eradicated. In the context of Indonesia, to suppress criminal acts of corruption, stable political conditions and guarantees for public votes must be done first, then effective government and compliance with regulations can follow.

Monetary Theory of the Genesis of the State, Prospects for Electronic Money and Transnational Law

“…Secondly, digital currencies that do not have a physical form, or rather their system, possessing significant transparency in circulation, when each transfer of such money from one e-wallet to another wallet will be noticeable, will allow you to trace when, in what volume and between whom any transaction took place (Uvarova, 2013;Yakhneeva, Agafonova, Fedorenko, Shvetsova, and Filatova, 2020). This money cannot be stolen, hidden, or used for other criminal or immoral purposes without an absolute guaranteed risk of disclosing such actions and bringing to justice the persons who committed them (Asnawi and Setyaningsih, 2020;Muktiyanto, Dwiyani, Hartati, Perdana, and Possumah, 2019).…”

“Getting to Denmark" from Indonesia: Starting from State Institutions or Tax Capacity?

“…This topic is deemed important for Indonesia because, in general, the quality of its state institutions as well as its tax capacity have been suboptimal. 1 Moreover, recent research into the public institutions in Indonesia largely studied the correlation and the one-way causality relation that typically runs from state governance toward political establishments (Agus, Astuti, & Sardini, 2021;Ishak, Hasibuan, & Arbani, 2020), corruption (Ersan & Erliyana, 2018;Muktiyanto, Dwiyani, Hartati, Perdana, & Possumah, 2019) as well as local or sub-national development (Triastuti, 2021). Thus, for the particular case of Indonesia, empirical literature which explores the two-way causality relationships between the quality of its state institutions and its fiscal capacity has been scarce.…”
