The Ethics of Governance: Moral Limits of Policy Decisions offers a
toolbox drawn from normative ethics which finds applications in
public governance, primarily focusing on policy making and
executive action. It includes ethical concepts and principles
culled from different philosophical traditions, ranging from more
familiar Western theories to non-Western ethical perspectives,
thereby providing a truly global, decolonized and expanded
normative lens on issues of governance. The book takes a unique and
original approach; it demonstrates the use of the ethical toolbox
in the context of actual examples of governance challenges. Taking
three major case studies each representing an aspect of human-human
and/or human-nature and/or human-animal relationship, the book
attempts to show the significance of public practical reasoning in
policy decisions with the aim of arriving at reasonable responses.
Acknowledging the challenges that policy makers often face, the
book highlights the fact that policy making is hardly an exercise
yielding a black-or-white solution; rather it involves finding the
most reasonable normative outcome (course of action) in a given
situation, especially employing an expanded understanding of values
including well-being, sustainability, interdependence and
community. This effort that helps bridge the gap between ethical
theorists and policy practitioners exemplifies the necessary role
of 'engaged philosophy' in public governance. In the major case
studies, Boxes offer facts and figures along with pertinent ethical
questions that have been raised and discussed. Aiming to aid the
engagement of a diverse audience including non-philosophy readers,
each chapter also includes Boxes containing examples, shorter case
studies, at-a-glance charts, and tables with comprehensive ethical
tools for a quick recap.
