From the late nineteenth century through the 1970s, several
government reform movements succeeded in controlling traditional
types of public corruption. But has this historic success led to a
false sense of security among public management scholars and
professionals? As this book argues, powerful special interests
increasingly find effective ways to gain preferential treatment
without violating traditional types of public corruption
prohibitions. Although the post-Watergate good government reform
movement sought to close this gap, the 1980s saw a backlash against
public integrity regulation, as the electorate in the United States
began to split into two sharply different camps driven by very
different moral value imperatives. Taking a historical view from
the ratification of the U.S. Constitution through to the Trump
administration, The Death of Public Integrity details efforts by
reformers to protect public confidence in the integrity of
government at the local, state, and federal levels. Arguing that
progressives and conservatives increasingly live in different moral
worlds, author Robert Roberts demonstrates the ways in which it has
become next to impossible to hold public officials accountable
without agreement on what constitutes immoral conduct. This book is
required reading for students of public administration, public
policy, and political science, as well as those interested in
public service ethics.
