Managing the challenges of governance is more than merely managing people and resources; it is about managing the values that intersecting cultures attach to people and resources. The Ethics of Public Administration: The Challenges of Global Governance provides an exploratory introduction to the history and trends of major ethical cultures around the globe. Featuring chapters that explore national and ideological forms of ethics--including those of India, Russia, and Africa as well as Marxism, Leninism, Daoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam-- The Ethics of Public Administration is an indispensable guide for all those working in international affairs and government.

Sara R. Jordan is Assistant Professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration and The Graduate School at the University of Hong Kong, where her research interests include civil service and research ethics.

Phillip W. Gray is Lecturer, Humanities Department, United States Coast Guard Academy. He has taught at various universities in Hong Kong, and his research focuses on international political theory, morality in warfare, and totalitarian politics.

It is truly a remarkable achievement to explore the ethical traditions and thoughts about efficiency, economy, efficacy, expertise, and equality in all continents. This comparative study has no equal and is of interest to any public administration scholar.
