From cover:
The social and political events of recent years have made people increasingly aware of the relationship between ethics and government decisions. There is a real need for both theoretical discussion about this relationship and an application of theory to concrete situations. Personal Values in Public Policy makes an important contribution in both areas. Essays on these topics are followed by conversations with government officials and career civil servants who are involved in handling complex social issues. Personal Values in Public Policy offers the reader new insight into the ethical dimension of policy-making, as well as a look at the way policy-makers see their role in light of their beliefs and values.
John C. Haughey is a member of the Woodstock Theological Center and is active with government management personnel in Washington. He is a contributing editor of America, and edited The Faith That Does Justice (Woodstock Studies 2, Paulist Press).
