Political realists are accustomed to argue that ethical
considerations have no place in public affairs. This is always a
debatable view: realism habitually employs a crude utilitarian
morality rather than being totally amoral, and ethical
considerations have continued to play an ever more prominent role
in the thinking and actions of policy makers and politicians. In
addition, citizens increasingly expect policies not only to be
efficient and effective according to some purely economic or
prudential calculation, but also to be equitable and just as well.
As a consequence, both the public and private morality of
politicians and public officials has come under ever greater
scrutiny. The essays collected together in this volume explore the
ethical issues raised by the process and substance of
policy-making, and discuss whether it is reasonable to expect
ethical standards in public affairs.
