About
Can government be both ethical and effective? Or does one come at the expense of the other? These questions are the starting point for this global dialogue, a global follow-up to the successful transatlantic dialogues on ethics and integrity in Leuven and Maryland by the EGPA (European Group of Public Administration) and the ASPA (American Society for Public Administration). This will take place in Amsterdam from the 28-30th of May 2009.
Our goal is to bring together the best and most original scholars on the ethics and quality of governance to discuss state-of-the-art knowledge, stimulate international exchange and contribute to international policymaking. The conference aims at broadening the ethics and integrity dialogue to other discussion topics, such as the relationship between integrity and ethics, and initiatives to make government more efficient and businesslike, and international comparisons of the theory and practice of good governance, with special emphasis on the similarities and differences between Europe, the United States and Australia.
At the core of the conference will be 6 themes, which will be jointly chaired by conveners from Europe, the U.S. and other parts of the world, and will consist of an internationally mixed audience of participants. The conference is open to those who get their paper proposal accepted, but the number of participants will be limited to a maximum of 130. Participants will be expected to subscribe to one workshop, act as a discussant for another contribution and participate actively in the discussions.
