Principles of Responsible Governance

"Principles of Responsible Governance" explores the structures and processes designed to ensure accountability, transparency, responsiveness, rule of law, stability, equity, inclusiveness, empowerment, and broad-based participation in governance. We demonstrate how ethics can constrain improper behavior through high-profile case studies that connect readers to fundamental ethical questions. Themes of public interest, natural law, and rule of law provide a framework for these case studies, which include topics such as torture, impeachment, competence, electoral violations, and historical corruption.

We also highlight the responsibilities and policy formation of governments and their impact on the public. Ethics, social responsibility, leadership, and governance are terms often heard but rarely integrated into policies and cultures guiding behavior and decisions. Our book addresses this gap by offering a broad-based and integrated approach to responsible leadership and governance.

With insights into emerging areas requiring future attention, "Principles of Responsible Governance" provides leading thinking on these issues. This book is a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of ethical governance and its role in promoting social justice and equity.
