Comprehensive' book on graft launched by academics The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Tue, 01/12/2010 10:12 PM | National A new book has just been released on the prickly subject of corruption, shedding a light on the challenges it poses the country from an academic viewpoint. Korupsi Mengorupsi Indonesia - Sebab, Akibat dan Prospek Pemberantasan (Corruption Corrupts Indonesia - The Causes, Effects and the Prospects for Eradication) is a compilation of articles that purports to give the most comprehensive look at the problem of corruption in the country. Published by Kompas Gramedia, the book is a collaboration involving Paramadina University in Jakarta, private company Recapital and the NGO Tiri Indonesia. The 1,149-page book comprises 31 articles written by people from different academic disciplines. Tuesday's launch of Corruption Corrupts comes on the heels of a revelation that socialite and lobbyist Artalyta Suryani, currently serving time in jail for bribery, is enjoying privileges behind bars befitting a five-star hotel, and in the wake of a book that looks into the business activities of the President's family. "There is a dearth of literature on corruption in Indonesia, even though Indonesia has always ranked among the most corrupt nations in the world," Wijayanto, who co-edited the book with Ridwan Zahrie, told the discussion accompanying Tuesday's launch.
