Reviews a variety of efforts to understand, 'map' and evaluate the effectiveness of integrity policies and institutions, not just in the government sector but across the various major institutions of modern society. This work is suitable for those in governance, politics, law and public policy.
What are the right institutional settings and strategies for ensuring honesty and accountability in public life? How do these settings and strategies relate to one another, and how do we know what is working and what is missing from the whole complex tapestry? Taking Australia as a case study that is relevant to all countries where public integrity is an issue, this book offers some new answers to these larger questions. The collection reviews a variety of existing efforts to understand, 'map' and evaluate the effectiveness of integrity policies and institutions, not just in the government sector but across all the major institutions of modern society. It will be of interest to those in governance, politics, law and public policy.
