Global Governance: Toward a Rhetoric of Ethical and Ecological Relationships

Lianne Campodonico

International Review of Public Administration, 1999, vol. 4, issue 1, 33-43

Abstract: In a interconnected global context of a shrinking world where there exists an increasing complexity of relationships produced by economic, cultural, technological and environmental exchanges and interdependencies—public administration faces redefinition in terms of a notion of stewardship and a commitment to an ethical stance based upon the public good. This paper’s discussion centers on finding a pathway for citizens and administrators to move from a solely parochial, privatized view to one which finds a moral coherence between a global view and the local pragmatic context. The response to the realities of paradox and ambiguity of this interconnected world is to move beyond the divisiveness engendered by the endless debates concerning either/or choices—whether they be between objectivism and subjectivism; parochialism or cosmopolitanism; or foundationalism and relativism.
