Description

This volume is the result of a unique collaboration between public agency leaders and academics. The essays, by experienced and committed public administrators and faculty, offer valuable and practical insights into the moral dimension of public administration. Cases portray in striking detail the hard ethical choices public administrators often have to make-from issues of professional confidentiality in coping with HIV to responding to FBI demands for lists of library patrons. The book will be of interest to students, scholars, and professionals in public administration and in public and nonprofit agencies.
