Public Administration SuperSession: Global Ethics/Global Unity - The New Universal Responsibility of the Public Administrator
Sunday, April 2, 2006 from 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm
Conducted by:
This SuperSession focuses on moral agency in public administration amid global change. We consider administrative interdependence primarily by reversing the cliché, “Government should be run like a business,” and proposing that, in 21st-century governance, “Business should be run like government” - meaning that public administration is a fundamentally moral enterprise that makes it a prototype for other professions, including business, to emulate as they position themselves in a globalizing world.
Practitioners and professors interested in exploring the moral and strategic challenges and opportunities of 21st-century governance should attend this SuperSession. Attendees will engage in a conversation on global ethics, global governance, and global interdependence, and to develop practical perspectives on the evolving role of the state at all levels and the moral responsibilities and obligations of its agents.
On site registration for the 2006 ASPA National Conference begins on Thursday, March 30.
