A volume in Ethics in Practice Series Editors Robert A. Giacalone,
Temple University and Carole L. Jurkiewicz, Louisiana State
University The daily process of public service provision and
administration is filled with value judgments and value trade-offs,
and the safeguarding of just and fair processes is key to the
public's trust in governing institutions. In crises, public
decision-makers face complex ethical judgments under great
uncertainty, timepressure, and heightened public scrutiny. A lack
of attention to the ethical dimensions of crises has lead
decision-makers to long-shadow crises that never reach closure.
Furthermore, crises triggered by unethical conduct by public
officials steadily feed people's cynicism about politicians and
bureaucracy. The fact that decision-makers often are judged on how
they dealt with ethical issues in crises further underlines the
importance of this topic. Little scholarly attention had been paid
to how ethics play into and are dealt with in situations when they
matters most - in crises. In order to improve government
performance we need to analyze the ethical dilemmas and normative
challenges that face practitioners in crises. This book meets this
challenge by presenting a public policy framework for analyzing the
ethical dilemmas in crises and introduces ten empirical chapters
written by prominent public administration and crisis management
scholars. The cases reviewed include Abu Ghraib, the 9/11
Commission, the 2008 Financial Crisis and the Memorial Hospital
Tragedy during Hurricane Katrina. Building off the empirical focus
on inherent ethical challenges in crises and actor ethics in
evaluation and judgment, the concluding chapter outlines important
lessons about criteria for crisis decision-making and strategies,
the poisoned apple of bureaucratic discretion, and the nature of
post-crisis evaluations. The book is geared toward students,
scholars, and practitioners concerned with public management,
public sector ethics, public policy, crisis management, and the
implication of these factors on business and corporate crisis
management.
