Ethical Regulations explores why some public servants uphold ethical standards while others succumb to corruption. It emphasizes the critical roles of ethical governance, legal enforcement, and public accountability in combating corruption, which erodes public trust and distorts policy. The book argues that these elements must work synergistically to effectively safeguard public trust. For example, robust whistleblower protection can enhance transparency, holding government officials accountable.
The book progresses systematically, first defining core concepts like ethical governance and accountability. It then assesses legal frameworks designed to combat corruption, analyzing legislation and regulatory bodies. Next, it investigates the role of public accountability through transparency and civil society engagement. The book uniquely emphasizes the interconnectedness of these elements, demonstrating how they mutually reinforce each other.
Supported by case studies, statistical analyses, and original research, Ethical Regulations connects business management principles, management leadership qualities, and political science impacts. The book offers practical recommendations for policy-making, institutional reform, and promoting ethical leadership, making it valuable for policymakers, government officials, and anyone interested in promoting ethical governance.
