The recurring image throughout the developing world is one of the
disintegration of civil order debilitating leaders into a crisis of
governance. Not a day goes by without extensive media coverage of
some form of corruption, perceived or real, concerning the lack of
productivity and/or increasing incidences of fraud and unethical
behavior. An Ethical Turn in Governance: The Call for a New
Development Narrative posits that the intensification of this
crisis is compatible with the root cause of capitalist
modernization with its rapid and disorientating changes. To
mitigate the accompanying effects, a call is made for
[re]conceptualization of the search for a solution through
incorporating and strengthening the value of an ethical
consciousness in our thinking and policies of governance. The idea
is an urgent possibility, perhaps even a controversial and
ambitious proposal, for countries to begin imagining how it might
be brought about and what it would look like. The central aim and
objective is to move toward a framework for continued theory
development and empirical research, thereby offering a new
narrative on governance and, by extension, development. Recognizing
that the inclusion of an ethical turn in governance is fraught with
difficulty because of the different opinions, the relativism of
different value systems, and options identified often derived from
the perspectives of various stakeholders, a call is made for an
interactive discourse in the public sphere. The argument advanced
is that a body politic with sensible social values germane to the
policy process is the best way in which human conduct is ordered,
guided, and appraised in order to live together in well-functioning
societies critical for the success of any democracy.
