The Ethics of Public Administration: The Challenges of Global Governance

"In this book, we seek to provide the reader with a focused history of moral traditions from time immemorial to modern political movements and to apply the lessons of historical texts to the practice of public administration in a globalized environment. We believe, and we have lived with the experiential knowledge that globalization can be a confronting phenomenon where individuals in one location must correspond politely, knowledgably, and respectfully with others whose histories, traditions, and beliefs may seem alien, even hostile. To overcome mutual feelings of alienation and frustration, we believe that parties to all sides of the confrontation need information."
