Despite much recent interest in the area of urban governance,
little work has been done on the changing ethical standards of
urban leaderships, 'governing' institutions or the policing of
public life. Yet the issue of ethical standards in public life has
become a central concern in contemporary public discourse; with
issues of public probity, moral order and personal standards
re-emerging as central features of political debate. This volume
places these debates into their historical perspective by examining
the linkages between processes of 'modernisation', urbanisation and
the ethical standards of governance and public life. It considers
how ethical debates arise as a result of differential access to
positions of authority and from competition for public resources.
The contributions are drawn from a wide range of scholarly and
disciplinary backgrounds and provide a broad analysis of the
phenomenon of corruption, assessing how debates about corruption
arose, the narratives used to criticise established modes of public
conduct and their consequences for urban leadership.
