UNDERGROUND ECONOMY DAN KEJAHATAN BIROKRAT
ABSTRACT: To comprehend the
reality of this underground economy certainly requires an understanding of the
upstream and the downstream network of the activity. Several studies about
underground economy have conducted in many countries indicate that this
economic activity has involved many actors. Underground economy is also a
complex phenomenon, present to an important extent even in the most
industrialized and developed economies. People engage in underground economic
activity for a variety of reasons; among the most important are, to avoid
government actions, most notably taxation and regulation. This paper is also
concerned with the bureaucrats crime. It uses the context of the garment import
sector in Indonesia to further analyze issues relating to corruption in both
private and public sector. The author argues that blaming the bureaucrats or
the private businesses alone would not do justice to the problem. Neither will
it help in finding appropriate policies to solve this important problem in
governance and development.
