Public Sector Ethics in Comparative Perspective

PETER T. SUZUKI

The task of a comparative approach should be to seek commonalities and principles that would be apposite to a wide range of nations and their organizations. Citizen participation is one commonality in maintaining and/or enhancing ethics in the public sector. In the Japanese case, the study focuses on the national police system and the ethics and values integral to it and the national culture. Owing to the radical change in government, eastern Berlin's human relations directors and boards provide a good case study of the foundation of new ethics in this inchoate democracy. The Nigerian citizenry's reaction to the Weberian type of bureaucracy that encompasses Nigeria's massive public sector is instructive as it sheds light on the significance of citizen participation in the people's attempt to maintain ethical norms among public servants. This article closes with some observations related to several theoretical issues concerning ethics in a comparative perspective.
