This book examines the legal accountability associated with government
policies in the Indonesian legal system. It explores legal issues with regard
to law making and law enforcement, specifically the events that resulted in
the unjust charges leveled against several government officials in the aftermath
of the 1997 economic meltdown. Using a comparative study of central bank
responses during financial crises in Malaysia, the United Kingdom, the United
States of America, Germany, and Indonesia, the book offers a solution utilizing
the Economic Analysis of Law (EAL) to achieve efficient and just policies. The
application of EAL in all levels of the government will assist in analyzing and
revealing potential impacts for decision makers. This book is a call to action
for the Indonesian government and its people to learn from past experiences
and look toward a brighter and prosperous Indonesia through the blending of
law and economics to achieve social welfare maximization.
