E9 - Ethics and Corruption

Join us on our ninth episode with Sylvia Tidey, a cultural anthropologist and Associate Professor at the University of Virginia in the Anthropology Department and Global Studies Program. In her first research project, Tidey examined the continuation of civil service corruption in Indonesia in the aftermath of stringent anti–­corruption measures meant to promote “good governance.” In her book titled "Ethics or the Right Thing: Corruption and Care in the Age of Good Governance," Tidey explores novel forms of corruption within Indonesia's civil service. On this episode we will discuss Tidey's work studying corruption in Indonesia, the failure of anti-corruption efforts, and good governance.
