A sympathetic examination of the failure of anti-corruption efforts in contemporary
Indonesia. Combining ethnographic fieldwork in the city of Kupang with an acute historical
sensibility, Sylvia Tidey shows how good governance initiatives paradoxically perpetuate
civil service corruption while also facilitating the emergence of new forms of it.
Importing critical insights from the anthropology of ethics to the burgeoning anthropology
of corruption, Tidey exposes enduring developmentalist fallacies that treat corruption
as endemic to non-Western subjects. In practice, it is often indistinguishable from
the ethics of care and exchange, as Indonesian civil servants make worthwhile lives
for themselves and their families. This book will be a vital text for anthropologists
and other social scientists, particularly scholars of global studies, development
studies, and Southeast Asia
