Research on Ethics and Integrity in Governance: A Review and Assessment

This article reviews and assesses the research on ethics and integrity in governance published in American journals in 1999-2004 and also focuses on research on this subject in other nations and cultures. It follows upon an earlier article in this journal in which the author reviewed the research published before 1999. As the study demonstrates, research on ethics and integrity in governance has grown from a cottage industry into a robust and flourishing enterprise in the United States and abroad.
