標題	Economic Liberalization and Corruption in the Developmental State: A Case Study of Indonesia in the 1990s
執筆形態	単独
巻・号・頁	pp.161-188
概要	This article evaluates the claim that economic liberalization reduces corruption in the challenging context of an authoritarian developmental state attempting to open its trade and capital markets while reducing state intervention in the economy. After reviewing the theoretical and empirical evidence behind the assertion that economic liberalization reduces corruption, the claim is considered against the backdrop of Indonesia in the 1990s, a case with high values in both the key variables involved: economic liberalization and corruption. Using newly-available measures of corruption to analyze the Indonesian case, the article points out weaknesses in the “liberalization as remedy” hypothesis and suggests conclusions that may apply to other developmental states. Specifically, it is argued that economic liberalization in the context of an authoritarian developmental state with a large domestic market is unlikely to reduce corruption and quite possibly may contribute to its worsening. The experience of Indonesia in the 1990s may thus hold lessons for other developmental states, especially China, seeking to control corruption while liberalizing large economies under authoritarian rule.
