Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans deserve honest government. This text addresses the need for a comprehensive statement of ethical behavior for public officials and employees at every level of government. Recognizing the need for legal reforms that focus mainly on campaign contributions, the authors examine the broader question of how we should measure the routine, day-to-day ethics of men and women in public service. By focussing more on attitudes and practices, the authors suggest that the highest standard of both ethics and competence should be demanded of all our public servants. The book identifies situations in which officials ought to act cautiously and presents the ethical rules that should be applied to each situation. The text presents a philosophy of public service and then moves to particular situations to which this philosophy must be applied: campaign finance; the campaign itself; behavior of elected officials, appointed officials, and public employees; the role of lobbyists; compensation for public servants; moving to and from the public and private sectors; ethical guidelines for lawyers and judges; the private lives of public servants; and enforcement of ethics. The final chapter discusses the sometimes competing forces of ethics and competency. Ethical guidelines are gathered in the appendix and serve as a useful starting point for ethics in any public service setting. The combination of persuasive and thought-provoking proposals for governmental ethics reform along with practical guidelines on how to maintain the highest possible standards of ethical conduct makes this an important text for students in ethics and government courses, as well as an imperative reading for public officials, whether elected, appointed, or career.

Download or read book Keeping Them Honest written by Stephen Charles and published by Scribe Publications. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revealing and compelling case for the establishment of a strong national anti-corruption body and the enactment of other vital democratic reforms. Over the last few years, instances of the federal government spending taxpayers’ money to gain improper political advantage in elections have continued, with many hundreds of millions of dollars being spent on the Community Sport Infrastructure Program (aka the Sports Rorts) and the Urban Congestion Fund (the Carpark Rorts). As Stephen Charles writes, these electorally targeted pork-barrelling exercises are better understood as political corruption, which can take many forms but essentially involves dishonest conduct that undermines trust in our democratic political system. Keeping Them Honest points to the crucial absence of a federal integrity commission to expose corruption in government and public administration, and to hold wrongdoers to account. While the federal government promised to establish such a commission in 2018 (a promise since abandoned), Stephen Charles argues that, in any case, its insipid terms would protect — rather than expose — ethical breaches by federal politicians. As well, as Catherine Williams reveals, there is an overwhelming need to deal with the dark side of Australia’s political system: the hidden influence of political donors and lobbyists, including the revolving door between lobbyists and former ministers; the absence of controls on electoral expenditure and political advertising; and the cavalier, unregulated expenditure of public money. Keeping Them Honest explains what we need to do to expose political corruption, uphold accountability, and restore trust — and why we need to do it now.
Download or read book The Honest Broker written by Roger A. Pielke, Jr and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-19 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists have a choice concerning what role they should play in political debates and policy formation, particularly in terms of how they present their research. This book is about understanding this choice, what considerations are important to think about when deciding, and the consequences of such choices for the individual scientist and the broader scientific enterprise. Rather than prescribing what course of action each scientist ought to take, the book aims to identify a range of options for individual scientists to consider in making their own judgments about how they would like to position themselves in relation to policy and politics. Using examples from a range of scientific controversies and thought-provoking analogies from other walks of life, The Honest Broker challenges us all - scientists, politicians and citizens - to think carefully about how best science can contribute to policy-making and a healthy democracy.

Book excerpt: Using anticorruption efforts in New York City to illustrate their argument, Anechiarico and Jacobs demonstrate the costly inefficiencies of pursuing absolute integrity. By proliferating dysfunctions, constraining decision makers' discretion, shaping priorities, and causing delays, corruption control - no less than corruption itself - has contributed to the contemporary crisis in public administration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the current troubles in Europe and all over the world right now this book is coming out at the right time. One thing I really like is that I have many questions about our economy and our government (and other governments) right now and this book really helps answer many of them. Why are we trillions in debt? What is going on with Social Security? Why is our dollar worth so much less? Is our government in serious trouble? In a democracy, 51 percent of the people can vote for themselves for a government benefit and send the bill to the other 49 percent. Even worse, special interests representing 1 percent of the people get government cash by robbing the other 99 percent! Why? The simple answer to these questions in politics. It has gutted democracy as a form of government. What if we limited our democracy to those services and policies that 90% of us approve of instead of just 51%? What if we allocated seats in Congress by occupation rather than geography so we would be represented by people from all walks of life instead of just lawyers? What if our state governments saved and invested 5% of tax revenue each year and eliminated any need for taxes in 56 years? The government does not have to be incompetent and corrupt. It can be rational, fair, and honest. Read this book and find out how.
