The topic of moral competence is generally neglected in the study
of public management and policy, yet it is critical to any hope we
might have for strengthening the quality of governance and
professional practice. What does moral competence consist in? How
is it developed and sustained? These questions are addressed in
this book through close examination of selected practitioners in
Asian countries making life-defining decisions in their work. The
protagonists include a doctor in Singapore, a political activist in
India, a mid-level bureaucrat in central Asia, a religious
missionary in China, and a journalist in Cambodia-each struggling
with ethical challenges that shed light on what it takes to act
effectively and well in public life. Together they bear witness to
the ideal of public service, exercising their personal gifts for
the well-being of others and demonstrating that, even in difficult
circumstances, the reflective practitioner can be a force for good.
