This textbook methodically helps students to assimilate, articulate, and expand their knowledge and understanding of ethics, accountability, and integrity in public governance and service. The text is supported by illustrations, highlights of recent research and studies, and examples created out of the participant??observant experiences of the author as a public servant. In order to supplement the explanations and discussions, Ethics, Integrity and Aptitude in Governance closely follows a ‘consilience’ approach to topics wherein facts are intricately linked to the theories across relevant disciplines. This approach will help students to trace the evolution of concepts such as ethics, good governance and others, and assess their application in the real world. The book will prove to be an indispensable companion for students and practitioners of public administration in developing a holistic understanding of the challenges of public service in democratic nations like India. It is supported by illustrations, highlights of recent research and studies, and examples created out of the participant??observant experiences of the author as a public servant. Key Features: Integrated with a comprehensive coverage of both theoretical aspects and real-world applications of ethical practices in governance Logically sequenced into seven sections that discuss ethics and human values, ethics and public service, probity in governance, challenges of effective governance, corporate governance, ethical issues in international relations and public funding, and emotional intelligence and aptitude. Includes Chapter-end review exercise for practice and book-end case studies with answer cues to demonstrate how case studies should be studied and interpreted

About Author
Ranvijay Upadhyay is a public servant with keen interest in contemporary developments in theoretical paradigms and practices of public administration in general and application to developing nations in particular. The author's experience as a public servant credits him with the participant??observant perspective (the leitmotif of ethnographic studies in anthropology and other social sciences) that supplements the theoretical paradigm of ethics, integrity, and aptitude in governance in wider context and also specific to India. Working with a premier organization that offers interactive window to observe, inquire, and study the rigmarole of daily life and impact of state policies and interventions on access to the life chances of citizens of different strata of society encouraged the author to adopt ??consilience?? approach to topics. The ??consilience approach?? in this book attempts to link facts and theories across relevant disciplines especially interlinkages of public administration with sociology, cognitive psychology, and philosophy to illuminate explanations. The author also contributes articles and blogs to philanthropic and global peace foundations on global peace, nuclear disarmament, demilitarization, climate changes, and postmodern world order premised on neo-decolonization in the 21st century from the overbearing control of consciousness and human life by troika of culture, market, and technology. The author's intellectual interest also centers on deciphering parallels in the theoretical underpinnings of postmodernist philosophy with the dominant sociocultural idioms of ??pristine?? Hinduism and other pagan traditions. The author's other areas of interest and research also lies in interdisciplinary developments in evolutionary biology, sociology, philosophy, and religion. He has also reviewed books on public administration and public policy by SAGE. An avid yoga practitioner, the author also loves music, movies, and fiction in sparsely spare time. The views and opinions expressed in the book by the author are strictly personal.
