The book begins with a sneak-peek of the Indonesian political economy, specifically how that relates to corruption culture, by giving a glimpse at some of the crucial factors that have shaped politics in general and policy in particular, and how that has created corruption opportunities that nibble first but get entrenched eventually, into the fabric of Indonesian society.

By navigating the history of e-government development and adoption in Indonesia, the book identifies advantages increasing adoption of e-government has contributed to the fight against corruption as well as highlighting some of the weaknesses and obstacles the policy has faced in the past and continues to face, today, and most likely in future. Touted as one of the most promising and prospective democracies, Indonesian democratization comes into the limelight in the book, specifically the inadvertently though it has been, on corruption. It is often said, that great nations and leaders take annals of a country's history at heart, and it is with that golden adage in mind that the last part of the book takes the reader through some of the past mega corruption scandals that have punctuated the still relatively young Indonesian democratization road.It is a relevant end to the book on corruption, considering the growing multifaceted income disparity, even as the country's democracy receives plaudits on many accounts, ranging from big-bang decentralization, racial, religious and regional plurality preservation, and crux of all, a Unitary republic.
