Transparency International released an annual report on the corruption perception index in 2018. The survey results of 180 countries showed a bad score because more than two-thirds scored less than 50. The highest score is 100, which means very clean or free of corruption, and the lowest is zero which means it is very corrupt. Indonesia must learn from New Zealand and Australia who have succeeded in helping improve the corruption perception index in their country, even though Indonesia's corruption perception index experienced an upward trend in 2014-2018. In an effort to analyze Good Governance in eradicating corruption in Indonesia, the researchers applied the Penta Helix Model, better known as the ABCGM concept, namely Academicians, Business, Community, Government, and Media to reduce the level of corruption in Indonesia. This research method is qualitative to investigate, find, describe, and explain the quality or features of social influences that cannot be explained, measured or described through a quantitative approach. The Penta Helix model is considered to have a positive influence in eradicating corruption.

The corruption perception index (CPI) compiled by Transparency International (TI) ranks countries by perceived levels of corruption. It is a reformist rather than a radical form of ‘statactivism’. First, I use Rose and Miller’s analytical framework to explain how corporate concerns come to dominate the CPI: How a neoliberal rationality is translated into a programme to govern corruption and then a technology – the CPI. A comprehensive survey of sources used to compile the CPI 2001–2016 shows that the vast majority were either produced for sale to corporate clients or were based on surveys of business elites. Second, I embed the index’s production into a wider political economy: TI workers are Gramscian intellectuals who put forward an interpretation of corruption that is non-threatening to corporate capital. This Gramscian framework holds wider relevance for analyses of the politics of global benchmarking.

В статье проведено исследование уровня коррупции в России и в зарубежных странах мира. В качестве источника информации использован Индекс восприятия коррупции (Corruption Perception Index), ежегодно составляемый неправительственной международной организацией Transparency International, а также данные Всемирного банка. Рассмотрены мнения различных авторов о причинах и размерах коррупции в различных странах мира. Сделан вывод о том, что коррупция наблюдается в той или иной степени во всех странах мира, как в развитых, так и в развивающих. В ходе проведенного анализа было установлено, что коррупция в России находится на высоком уровне. По уровню коррупции Россия опережает большинство развивающихся стран. Высокая коррупция тормозит экономическое развитие страны. Коррупция сопровождается высокой степенью расслоения общества по уровню доходов и большими масштабами теневой экономики.
