This volume establishes a foundation for a uniform code of
professional ethics for public administrators in the United States.
Public Administration Ethics for the 21st Century lays the ethical
foundations for a uniform professional code of ethics for public
administrators, civil servants, and non-profit administrators in
the US. Martinez synthesizes five disparate schools of ethical
thought as to how public administrators can come to know the good
and behave in ways that advance the values of citizenship, equity,
and public interest within their respective organizations. Using
case studies, he teaches American administrators how to combine the
approaches of all five schools to evaluate and resolve complex
ethical dilemmas within the constraints of the U.S. democratic
values set. Martinez enunciates the common ethical principles that
guide public administrators in their practice within the specific
ethical parameters and organizational cultures of a myriad entities
at the federal, state, and local levels of government in the United
States, as well as in non-profit organizations. Along the way,
Martinez addresses a number of crucial issues, including personal
gain, conflict of interest, transparency, democratic impartiality,
hiring, hierarchical discipline, media relations, partisan
pressure, appointments by elected officials, and whistle-blowing.
The striking, high-profile case studies—Nathan Bedford Forrest,
Adolph Eichmann, Lieutenant William Calley, and Mary Ann
Wright—illustrate ethical dilemmas where, for better or worse,
the individual was at odds with the organization.
