Type: article
Abstract: This study presents a bibliometric analysis of literature published by Indonesian scholars on corruption issue in Indonesia from 1945 to 2024, covering the reigns of seven different Presidents. Using the Google Scholar database, we conducted searches for up to 200 relevant publications on each President. Our methodological tools included VOSviewer, Google Scholar, and Harzing's Publish or Perish software. By employing this approach, we were able to identify the specific focus areas emphasized by Indonesian scholars regarding corruption in Indonesia during each Presidential administration. We also examined the connection between these focal points and the characteristics of each President's administration, providing insight into the issues scholars emphasized and sought to address in relation to corruption in Indonesia. We use Jürgen Habermas's theory of the public sphere which provides a profound analytical framework for understanding how academic discourse on corruption contributes to the formation of public opinion and social control over power. Result shows that the evolution of Indonesia's public sphere demonstrates a clear correlation with the nation's socio-political transformations. While scholars play a crucial role in preserving a critical dimension within this sphere, significant obstacles remain. The persistent stagnation in the Corruption Perceptions Index, for instance, suggests that scholarly discourse has thus far been insufficient in catalyzing the intended structural reforms. Consistent with Habermasian thought, attaining a robust public sphere necessitates inclusive societal engagement and an ongoing commitment to institutional change.
