This book provides critical reviews on the ethics and integrity of governance, along with future perspectives. Focusing on Europe and the US, it addresses key dimensions of public service values, the integrity and rationality of governance, ethics management, and the ethics of governance and politics. In each of these four areas, leading international scholars tackle the main issues and controversies facing the field and the world. The final chapter synthesizes these views and provides an outline for future work in the field of ethics and integrity of governance. The book will appeal to academics, researchers, and practitioners in the areas of leadership, public policy and public administration, and public values and ethics. Material originated at a June 2005 conference held in Leuven, Belgium. Huberts is affiliated with VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
