Public Policy: Why Ethics Matters
Public Policy: Why Ethics Matters examines the essential role of ethics in public policy analysis and decision-making. Bringing together contributions from leading scholars and practitioners, the book explores how ethical frameworks influence the definition of policy problems, the evaluation of policy options, and the choices made by public officials. It addresses three major themes: the ethical foundations of public policy, the ethical dimensions of climate change, and ethics in economic policy. By integrating perspectives from philosophy, economics, political science, theology, and public administration, the volume demonstrates that ethical considerations are fundamental to effective, responsible, and democratic policymaking.
