Features: This book provides a comprehensive introduction and analysis of the basic process of the emergence and development of administrative ethics in the United States, as well as some fundamental views of American scholars on administrative ethics. It covers a broad theoretical scope. The author vividly illustrates the behavioral norms of U.S. government officials, the theoretical foundations guiding these norms, and the formulation and implementation of these norms, while also analyzing some experiences and lessons learned by U.S. government departments in combating corruption. Corruption within government departments has been a universal issue throughout history and across cultures. Understanding the theories and practices, as well as the experiences and lessons, of Western scholars and government departments in this regard will be beneficial for our future research on administrative ethics and administrative system reform, enabling us to learn from diverse sources, think ahead, and achieve the goal of building a clean government.
