Ethics is most often regarded as a constraint, limiting what we can do. But ethics can also be an ‚enabler‘, helping policy-makers secure compliance with the policies that they promulgate. Robert E. Goodin suggests in his lecture that basing policies on ethical principles eases the epistemic burden on the public at large in knowing what the policies require of them. He also states that ethics assists policymakers in securing the cooperation of other potential veto players in implementing the policy, by creating cooperative norms and a culture of trust among powerful actors who are prepared to bind themselves to those ethical principles in a reciprocal manner.
This event is part of the Hertie School lecture series Challenges and Opportunities in a Globalizing World –Public Policy and the Public Good.
