THE USEFULNESS OF ANTI-CORRUPTION PUBLIC POLICY IN NATIONAL ECONOMIC GROWTH AND LAW ENFORCEMENT IN INDONESIA

Abstract

Corruption is increasingly rampant in Indonesia and has serious implications for national economic growth and law enforcement. This phenomenon not only impedes economic development but also other forms of development. This paper aims to analyze the benefits of anti-corruption public policies in national economic growth and law enforcement in Indonesia. Utilizing a socio-legal method, this research concludes that widespread corruption can hinder economic growth, reduce foreign investment, and harm society. In the political realm, corruption can also disrupt democracy and good governance as it can undermine formal processes. Therefore, anti-corruption public policies in Indonesia not only have direct benefits in reducing corruption but also contribute broadly to economic development, human rights protection, international image, moral values, and public participation in the democratic process. Therefore, efforts to eradicate corruption must be continuously promoted and strengthened as an integral part of development and government reforms in Indonesia.
