Jointly organised by a European and American network on public sector ethics, the conference aims to strengthen co-operation among European and US scholars on the topic. All relevant aspects of administrative ethics will be discussed and particular attention will be given to the similarities and differences, both in theory and practice, between Europe, the US and other parts of the world. At the core of the conference will be 5 workshops. These will be jointly chaired by an American and European convenor and will consist of an internationally mixed audience of participants. The conference is open to all interested, but participants will be expected to subscribe to one workshop and be expected to participate actively in the sessions of that workshop. Participants are also strongly encouraged to prepare a paper. The organising committee of the conference invites papers on the topics of the 5 workshops: 1. Concepts and theories (chairs: Richard Chapman and Mel Dubnick) 2. The ethical administrator: comparative and contemporary perspectives (chairs: Mark Bovens and Terry Cooper) 3.
