Annotation Thirty-four contributions review current research and theory in administrative ethics, with pieces by scholars, mostly American, in the fields of public affairs, public administration, political science, urban affairs, business administration, social work, and management. Divided into seven sections, contributions address administrative ethics as a field of study; philosophical perspectives in administrative ethics; the contexts of administrative ethics; maintaining ethical conduct through external controls; maintaining ethical conduct through internal controls; administrative ethics in American society; and administrative ethics in other cultures. The introduction provides a detailed summary of each of the book's chapters. Five new chapters have been added on topics not covered in the first edition; other chapters have undergone varying degrees of revision. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
