Synopsis

This book is an affirmation: Yes, ethics in politics is possible – and it pays off. It is not a naive dream. The author chooses a pragmatic approach and tests whether value-orientation can make a difference in politics and how. He presents practical cases and outlines criteria for dealing with dilemmas. He singles out four fundamental ethical values to achieve: limitation of power, effectiveness, accountability and justice. He develops a global and intercultural perspective, referring to Western and Eastern traditions and some world religions. In a globalised, interdependent world of pluralistic societies, ethics in politics becomes a global ethics in politics. A book for practitioners such as politicians, activists and interested citizens, for debate and orientation.
