An Ethical Map of Indonesian MPs

Research indicates that the success of legislative ethics reforms, such as codes of ethics and codes of conduct, depends on whether the members of the legislature have homogeneous ethical standards. A survey conducted in the Indonesian legislature shows that the members' standards are far from homogenous and are not applied consistently across issues. If there is a link between homogeneity of ethical standards and the success of conduct codes, a code is not likely to be adopted and successfully enforced in Indonesia.
