A comprehensive introduction to contemporary political ethics What
is the relationship between politics and morality? May politicians
bend moral constraints in the name of political necessity? Is it
always wrong for leaders to lie? How much political compromise is
too much (or too little)? In Political Ethics, some of the world's
leading thinkers in politics, philosophy, and related fields offer
a comprehensive and accessible introduction to key issues in this
rapidly growing area of political theory. In a series of original
essays, the contributors examine a range of urgent political
problems: lies and deception, compromise and refusal to compromise,
the meaning and limits of political integrity, representation and
failures of representation, good and bad democratic leadership, the
virtues and excesses of partisanship, administrative ethics,
political corruption, whistleblowing, legitimate and illegitimate
claims of political emergency, and lobbying. What emerges are
realistic but demanding ethical standards-and a clear-eyed
understanding of the ethical challenges of political life in the
twenty-first century. With contributions by Richard Bellamy, Alin
Fumurescu, Edward Hall, Suzanne Dovi and Jesse McCain, Eric
Beerbohm, Russell Muirhead and Nancy Rosenblum, Joseph Heath,
Elizabeth David-Barrett and Mark Philp, Michele Bocchiola and
Emanuela Ceva, Nomi Lazar, Phil Parvin, and Andrew Sabl.
