In this timely follow-up to their previous collections of theoretical essays and empirical analyses on administrative ethics, Frederickson (public administration, U. of Kansas) and Ghere
(political science, U. of Dayton) introduce discussions of the ethical competence of public administration professionals, values management, and reform in an atmosphere of challenges to
political legitimacy and inadequate regulation. Contributors also discuss how organizations can be designed to support ethical conduct. Chapters include case studies, including one that
examines college sports as an example of commercial pressures that drive officials and organizations toward corrupt practices, and critical thinking questions. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc.,
