Ethical Map of Indonesian MPs.

Previous analyses have shown that the success of ethics reforms such as the adoption of codes of ethics and codes of conduct depends on whether legislators have homogeneous ethical standards. By discussing the results of a survey that we conducted in the Indonesian legislature we show that the ethical standards of Indonesian legislators are far from being homogenous and they are not applied consistently across issues. In the paper we suggest that, if previous studies were correct in positing a link between homogeneity of ethical standards and the success of conduct codes, a code of conduct is not likely to be adopted and successfully enforced. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
