EGPA ETHICS & INTEGRITY OF GOVERNANCE

EUROPEAN GROUP OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION 

Corruption, ethics and integrity have become more important issues in the practice and theory of politics, public administration, law, economics and society. This has led to more awareness and knowledge of the ethical or moral dimension of politics and administration and the causes of and solutions for ethical dilemmas and integrity violations. 

The Study Group on Ethics and Integrity of Governance brings together academics and practitioners interested in the ethical dimension of administration and organization. The group's mission is to establish a long-term network aimed at stimulating research on public sector integrity and ethics in Europe. The Study Group was launched at the 2003 EGPA Annual Conference in Oeiras, Lisbon and had an average attendance of about 40 participants in the subsequent meetings. The group also co-organized two specialized conferences with its American counterpart (the Ethics Section of the American Society for Public Administration): the 2005 Transatlantic Dialogue in Leuven and the 2009 Global Dialogue in Amsterdam.

The aim of the annual sessions is to present an overview of the cutting-edge European research on ethics and integrity of governance with relevance for the practice of European governance and government. The Study Group particularly wants to contribute to making progress in comparative research, building on previous initiatives in transnational and global dialogues and the increasing cooperation between European researchers.
