Description
As it so happens that whenever we hear the word governance, our minds immediately go towards the different forms ruling such as Democracy, Monarchy, Communism etc. Governance has also been defined to refer to structures and processes that are designed to ensure accountability, transparency, responsiveness, rule of law, stability, equity and inclusiveness, empowerment, and broad-based participation. This book is designed to show readers how ethics can constrain improper behavior. To demonstrate the relationship of ethics to good government, the author presents high profile case studies that were selected for their notoriety and their ability to connect the reader to fundamental ethical questions. Themes of public interest, natural law, and rule of law provide a framework for the case studies, which include torture, impeachment, competence , electoral violation , and historical corruption.
Whenever public of any country chooses any individual or a particular government to rule upon themselves they also have the utmost concern that the government or the individual should be fair and responsible towards the people. In this book it is shown in very simple but in very informative manner about the responsibilities and policy formation of the government and the effect of it on the public of a particular nation. Ethics, social responsibility, leadership, governance. These terms are heard in the classroom, in the boardroom, and viewed on the front page of newspapers and magazines. Yet serious attention to the relationships among these concepts is lacking. Although commitments to leadership, ethics, and social responsibility are evident, individuals and companies are falling short in combining these duties into policies and cultures that guide behavior and decisions. The missing element is a broad-based and integrated approach to responsible leadership and governance. This volume provides the leading thinking on these issues and includes a discussion of emerging areas that require future attention.
As it is said that “Everyday concerns will keep bothering you unless you do something to divert your mind. Reading gives you that mental space to occupy yourself with something more interesting”.
