High-profile corruption cases can act as catalysts for public policy reform by raising awareness and mobilizing political will. This paper investigates the impact of major corruption scandals on Indonesia’s policy landscape, analyzing how such cases influence legislative changes, institutional reforms, and public discourse. Through case studies of landmark prosecutions, media analysis, and interviews with policymakers, the study explores the conditions under which corruption scandals translate into meaningful reforms. Findings reveal that while high-profile cases generate temporary momentum for change, sustained reform requires broader political support, civil society engagement, and institutional resilience. The paper contributes to international scholarship on corruption and governance by elucidating the complex relationship between scandal-driven accountability and structural reform, providing lessons applicable to other transitional democracies confronting endemic corruption.
