Government Ethics Do we uphold ethics in Government by law or by example?	Environmental Ethics How can corporate responsibility and environmental ethics be encouraged?	The British Philosophy of Administration: A Comparison of British and American Ideas 1900 - 1939.
Government Ethics provides the world for the first time with a unique and international body of knowledge on ethics in Government and the public sector. This book contains the views of distinguished experts in Government and academia and includes codes of conduct for Government officials, issues of official secrecy, privacy and military and police ethics. It also discusses conceptual values like 'trust'.	Environmental Ethics relates to 'corporate and social responsibility' by Government, industry, the professions and scientists for the community and the environment. The book focuses on standards, quality, environmental audit and 'best practice', as well as ideals towards which countries can aspire to protect the global environment and implement the Rio Treaties. Environmental Ethics integrates, but extends, the subjects of environmental law and sustainable management.	This 'classic' book records the intellectual and practical developments in British public and business administration for the period 1900 - 1939, compared to American developments. The book has a foundation chapter on 'ethics' showing how UK Quaker companies, like Rowntree and Cadbury, set examples in 'corporate responsibility' in that era, many of which are relevant today. Other chapters cover policy-making, organisational theory and bureaucracy.
