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.

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.
