Political Corruption

The Internal Enemy of Public Institutions

Ceva, Emanuela (Professor of Political Theory, Ferretti, Maria Paola (Professor ad interim of Political Theory and Philosophy and a member of the Normative Orders Research Center - Political Corruption

Description

This book makes political corruption an object of public ethics by demonstrating how it is an internal enemy-a Trojan horse-of public institutions. To understand political corruption, Emanuela Ceva and Maria Paola Ferretti argue, we must adopt an internal point of view and look at how officeholders' interrelated conduct may fail the functioning of their institution because of their unaccountable use of their office's powers. Even well-designed institutions may bederailed if the officeholders fail to uphold by their conduct a public ethics of office accountability. Political corruption is one such failure, and it is wrong even when its negative consequences are unclear or debatable. To correct this failure, the book calls on officeholders to oppose politicalcorruption from the inside by engaging in practices of mutual answerability.
