[Commlist] CFP: Conference Ethics, public administration and political scandalsin comparative perspective

*Call for Papers*

*Ethics, public administration and political scandals in comparative 
perspective*

**

1^st   Conference of the Journal  “/Etica Pubblica. //Studi su legalità 
e partecipazione” (Public ethics. //Studies on legality and 
participation)/, directed by Prof. Paolo Mancini

Perugia 6 – 7 December 2019

We invite paper proposals that reflect on the existing relationship 
between public ethics, public administration  and scandals possibly with 
a comparative perspective. Indeed, such as Giovanni Sartori wrote “the 
one who knows just one country, knows anything”. Public ethics can be 
understood in many ways: it may refer to the diffusion of a shared idea 
of public good/interest (see, for instance, the well known Swedish 
“common house”), or to the level of integrity and  civil service ethos 
existing among public officials, etc. Assuming that the higher the level 
of public ethics, the lesser the number of scandals, mostly in the area 
of public administration, evidences that support/ contradict this thesis 
may represent the focus of the paper. How would presenters describe the 
relationship between public ethics, public administration and scandals 
in their own country, possibly within a comparative perspective? How is 
the political systems affecting this relationship? Which legal 
constraints can improve the relationship between ethic and public 
administration? How did the relationship between public ethics, public 
administration and scandals evolved historically?Can news media 
contribute in preventing public malfeasances and in enhancing the level 
of public ethics? The discussion of actual examples is welcome but more 
theoretically oriented proposals dealing with different scientific 
approaches (historical, legal, sociological, media and communication 
studies, etc.) are accepted as well.

The event will be held at University of Perugia (Italy), Department of 
Political Science on December 6 - 7, 2019.

Media and communication studies scholars are welcome to participate.
