Roundtable on “Political Corruption: the Internal Enemy of Public Institutions” by Emanuela Ceva and Maria Paola Ferretti (New York: Oxford University Press, 2021)

Abstract

Ceva and Ferretti discuss political corruption in the framework of a public ethics of office. What is the underlying conception of public institutions? What are the justificatory practices required so that officeholders can reciprocally call each other to respond for the ways in which they interpret their roles and the mandates associated with them? What space is there for role contestation?
