International conference: ETHICS AND INTEGRITY OF GOVERNANCE: A
2004-11-15 13:25
LEUVEN (Belgium), JUNE 2-5 2005
Organised by:
- Study Group on Ethics and Integrity of Governance of the European
Group of Public Administration (EGPA)
- Section on Ethics of the American Society of Public Administration
(ASPA)
Hosted by:
Public Management Institute of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KUL)
The conference takes place in the beautiful medieval city of Leuven, a
traditional university city about 20 minutes from Brussels. Jointly
organised by a European and American network on public sector ethics,
the conference aims to strengthen co-operation among European and US
scholars on the topic. All relevant aspects of administrative ethics
will be discussed and particular attention will be given to the
similarities and differences, both in theory and practice, between
Europe, the US and other parts of the world. This comparative angle is
expressed in the two keynote speeches by John Rohr and Jeremy Pope,
respectively.
At the core of the conference will be 5 workshops. These will be
jointly chaired by an American and European convenor and will consist
of an internationally mixed audience of participants. The conference
is open to all interested, but participants will be expected to
subscribe to one workshop and be expected to participate actively in
the sessions of that workshop. Participants are also strongly
encouraged to prepare a paper. At least one edited volume is expected
from the papers presented at this conference.
The organising committee of the conference invites papers on the
topics of the 5 workshops:
1. Concepts and theories
(chairs: Richard Chapman and Mel Dubnick)
2. The ethical administrator: comparative and contemporary perspectives
(chairs: Mark Bovens and Terry Cooper)
3. Integrity and ethics management
(chairs: Alan Doig, Alan Lawton, and Kathryn Denhardt)
4. New developments and the ethics of governance
(chairs: Geert Bouckaert, Montgomery Van Wart and Evan Berman)
5. The dark side of ethics
(chairs: Leo Huberts and Frank Anechiarico)
