The relationship between evil and public affairs, as well as other
fields and professions in public life, has come to the fore as
institutions of government seek new ways to operate in an
environment of extreme mistrust. Unmasking Administrative Evil, 5th
Edition argues that the tendency toward administrative evil, as
manifested in acts of dehumanization and genocide, is deeply woven
into the identity of public affairs. Indeed, ordinary people may
simply act appropriately in their organizational role-in essence,
just doing what those around them would agree they should be
doing-and at the same time, participate in what a critical and
reasonable observer, usually well after the fact, would call evil.
Even worse, under conditions of moral inversion, ordinary people
can all too easily engage in acts of administrative evil while
believing that what they are doing is not only correct, but in
fact, good. This 5th edition offers important updates, including: A
thorough discussion of contemporary virtue ethics as the field has
evolved to offer an alternative to technical/rational ethics. An
all-new three-part structure (What is Administrative Evil?, History
and Cases, and The Future of Ethics in Praetorian Times) designed
to aid in course organization and instruction. All-new cases,
including an examination of the Flint water disaster, to provide
contemporary examples of how populations can be marginalized and
harmed by administrative processes that are blind to their
consequences until it is too late. Laying the groundwork for a more
ethical and democratic public life - one that recognizes its
potential for evil, and avoids state-sponsored dehumanization and
destruction - Unmasking Administrative Evil, 5th Edition is
required reading for all students of administrative ethics and
public service ethics, as well those in other administrative
sciences.
