Public Service Ethics: Individual and Institutional Responsibilities

Ethicsâ€”in all its exemplary and exhausting formsâ€”matters. It deals with the most gripping question in public life: â€œWhat is the right thing to do?â€ In Public Service Ethics: Individual and Institutional Responsibilities, James Bowman and Jonathan West examine individual-centered and organization-focused ethics, applying ideas and ideals from both to contemporary dilemmas.Â The authors take on controversial issuesâ€”from whistle blowing incidents to corruption exposÃ©sâ€”to explain how they arise and suggest what can be done about them. They start with the conceptual tools students need to evaluate an ethical dilemma, then analyze individual decision making strategies, and go on to assess institutional ethics programs. The emphasis is not only on the â€œhow to,â€ but also on the â€œwhy.â€ The ultimate goal is to bolster studentsâ€™ confidence and prepare them for the ethical problems they will face in the future, by equipping them with the conceptual frameworks and context to approach thorny questions and behave ethically.
