Indonesia has transformed from one of South East Asia's most
repressive and centralised political systems to its most
decentralised and democratic. Despite this, obstacles still remain
that hinder Indonesia achieving the 'rule of law', and in
particular, the country is consistently ranked as having one of the
highest levels of corruption in the world. This book assesses
Indonesia's anti-corruption reforms over the past decade, focusing
on the Anti-corruption Commission (KPK) and the Anti-corruption
Court (ACC). The book discusses how both institutions have been
largely successful since they began operating on 2004. Before 2008,
the KPK and ACC largely focused on mid-senior level targets and
faced resistance primarily in the form of constitutional challenges
to their jurisdictions and powers. From 2008, however, the KPK
began targeting politically-powerful figures, drawing resistance
that now threatens the future efficacy of both institutions. It is
largely in Indonesia's courtrooms and lawmaking institutions that
key battles between reformists and those preferring the status quo
have played out. This book describes and analyses these judicial
processes and legal changes. It shows that despite persistent
claims that Indonesia's legal system is dysfunctional, law is far
from irrelevant in modern day Indonesia. The book is a useful
contribution to South East Asian politics and Asian law.
