The Ethics of Dissent: Managing Guerrilla Government (Public Affairs and Policy Administration Series)

About this book

From "constructive contributors" to "deviant destroyers " government guerrillas work clandestinely against the wishes of their superiors. These many public servants are dissatisfied with the actions of the organizations for which they work but often choose not to go public with their concerns. In her second edition Rosemary OLeary shows that the majority of guerrilla government cases are the manifestation of inevitable tensions between bureaucracy and democracy which yield immense ethical and organizational challenges that all public managers must learn to navigate. Alongside updates to her original cases OLeary offers a new case on Private Bradley Manning and the WikiLeaks scandal as well as new mini-stories for her Interlude sections.
