Elected
officials are held in low esteem because
they fail to satisfy high public expectations.
To regain public trust, therefore, elected
officials must maintain a standard of conduct
much higher than that of legal compliance.
The problem is that we have very little
understanding of how ethical standards actually
improve among elected officials. In this
workshop, we propose to examine the historical
evolution of ethics committees in legislatures
and explore the conditions and strategies
for successful ethical reform. It is possible
that we will look at countries at different
stages of the rule of law so that we can
examine whether or not different conditions
require different strategies.
Topics:
1. Legislation on conflicts of interest
in post-communist states
2. The institutionalisation of ethics
in the U.S. Congress
3. Ethics and the role of the Conflict
of Interest Commission

education from the perspective of a transition
economy

This workshop
focuses on the key elements that build ethics
into organizations in both the public and
private sectors. Speakers from different
continents will outline their experiences
on selected elements of the ethics infrastructure
and explain how these key elements can build
ethics into organizations in a particular
context. Participants are invited to analyze
the presented solutions, compare them with
other practices used in differing jurisdictions.
Finally, the workshop will also explore
the possibilities to identify "good
practices" that can fundamentally support
"building an ethical culture into organizations".
Topics:
| 1. |
Changing organizational
culture: the potential of new information
and communication technologies in
improving transparency and accountability
|
2. Strengthening the internal control
function to build an ethical culture in
public organizations
| 3. |
Role of a central agency
to co-ordinate policy design and implementation
in building an ethical culture in
public organizations |
