Anti-corruption Policy Analysis: Indonesian Open Government Study

Abstract

The central role of the Indonesian government in campaigning for open government is not in line with the findings of corruption cases in Indonesia. This research aims to analyze anti-corruption open government bibliometrics and the content of Indonesia’s open government anti-corruption policies. This research uses a qualitative approach with bibliometric analysis and content analysis methods. This study analyzes 200 papers on the Google Scholar database published in the 2018–2022 period and analyzes Indonesia’s open government anti-corruption policies. This research found 4587 citations, h-index 37, g-index 57, 172 keywords, 22 clusters, 2531 total link strengths, and 784 occurrences in open government anti-corruption papers. Anticorruption, data disclosure, open data, open government, e-government, information disclosure, transparency, open government data, public procurement, and beneficial ownership are the most popular open government anti-corruption trends. In the same time period, the Indonesian government established 10 anti-corruption policies covering public procurement, beneficial ownership, and elections. This research concludes that although the Indonesian government’s corruption index is unsatisfactory, anticorruption policies in Indonesia are in line with global anti-corruption trends, especially in several popular policies such as open data, transparency, information disclosure, public procurement, and beneficial ownership.
