- Summary:
-
"Why have political institutions failed to lived up to our high expectations? Why do we need inquiries into the conduct of state and federal agencies such as the police and departments of education and elected officials, including state premiers and federal senators?" "In Accountability and Corruption, politicians and political analysts draw on their first-hand experience to explore the tensions between political power and ethical ideals. Each is thoroughly conversant with the realities of political life and draws the reader into the world of political action to demonstrate the difficulties faced in sustaining ethical practice in public service. Their findings will inform and challenge citizens to understand better why the role of ethics in maintaining a workable political system is becoming increasingly an issue in our contemporary pluralist society."--BOOK JACKET.
