Administrative Governance and Corruption: Structural Inequality in Indonesia’s Public Sector
Keywords:
Corruption, Administrative Law, Structural InequalityAbstract
Corruption entrenched within Indonesia’s bureaucracy reflects the failure of Administrative Law (HAN) to effectively deter abuse of power. This study aims to analyze the role of HAN in promoting equitable and corruption-free administrative governance. Drawing on theories of structural inequality, good governance, and administrative law, this research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review and thematic analysis of secondary data. Findings reveal that weak HAN enforcement, overlapping regulations, and ineffective internal oversight bodies such as APIP create major gaps for systemic corruption. The study underscores the urgency of regulatory harmonization, oversight capacity-building, and digital integration in public administration. It concludes that HAN should not remain a symbolic framework but must function as a key instrument for bureaucratic reform toward a transparent and accountable government. Institutional restructuring and embedding integrity values across administrative systems are critical recommendations for combating governance disparities and corruption.
