Ethics and Public Policy : Contemporary Issues Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Exploring the ethical frameworks and principles upon which governments can and should base their policies, this study draws on papers from the 2009 Ethical Foundations of Public Policy conference held in Wellington, covering topics such as ethics in decision-making and giving advice, sustainability, equality and justice, and measuring progress.

The examination contends that interplay between ethical considerations and policy creation is often complex, controversial, and challenging, but that the careful management of this interplay is vital to the effective functioning of liberal, democratic government.

Demonstrating the inextricable link between ethics and public policy, this is essential reading for policymakers, students, and those interested in the policy process.
