Elephants, Ethics and Enigmas—A Practitioners Analysis of Municipal Government Ethics and Anti-corruption Programs in U.S.A.
The Blind Men and the Elephant is an ancient Hindu fable that illustrates the tendency for a person to think that he has grasped the whole of a situation when, in fact, only a part of it is understood. This will be shown to be the case with government ethics programs based on a study of twelve municipalities of varying populations in U.S.A.. It is a global concern that, as a result of inefficient, wasteful and corrupt dissipation of limited resources, services are diminished and the public trust lowered. This article explores various models for anti-corruption and ethics programs that have evolved in the U.S.A. and suggests avenues for research that could benefit municipalities in the challenging task of implementing reforms.
