It features all new contributions by many of the leading experts in the field, and addresses both the managerial and individual/moral dimensions of ethical behavior as well as new challenges to administrative ethics posed by globalization. A detailed introduction, opening passage, and conclusion lend context to each of the book's four main sections. The text is useful for students of all graduate level courses in public sector ethics.
