In an era when public trust in institutions hangs by a thread, Encouraging Ethics and Challenging Corruption: Reforming Governance in Public Institutions presents a rigorous and unflinching examination of the ethical failures corroding the foundations of modern governance. Authored by leading scholars Noel Preston and Charles Sampford, with contributions from Carmel Connors, this work argues that systemic corruption is not merely an aberration but a structural challenge demanding deliberate, principled reform. Drawing on frameworks from law, philosophy, and public administration, the authors detail practical and theoretical strategies for cultivating ethical cultures within public sector organisations. Published under the prestigious Law, Ethics and Public Affairs series by The Federation Press, this volume occupies a significant place in the canon of public ethics scholarship, sitting alongside companion works on constitutional law, human rights, and political practice. Preston and Sampford write with the authority of practitioners and academics deeply embedded in the field — their prose is measured yet urgent, academic yet accessible to policymakers and reformers alike. Challenging the reader to confront uncomfortable truths about institutional accountability, this is a work that raises questions whose answers remain as vital today as when they were first posed.
