Ethics, Leadership & Democracy

Credit: 3 OR 4 hours.

Examination of the relations between strong political leadership and democracy. Draws on both empirical and normative studies of political leadership, and gives special attention to the ethical challenges of democratic leadership. Case studies and student group presentations are used to illustrate the idea of "dirty hands dilemmas" confronted by decision-makers. Group presentations of real cases of leadership are also used to consider whether different political offices generate different ethical obligations, and how these obligations are related to a general commitment to democratic practices and values.

3 undergraduate hours. 4 graduate hours. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.
