Call for Papers

Today, the question of ethics in politics and its importance for the sustenance of the democratic norms and institution is more important than ever. (Un)ethical leadership affects everyone and has the tremendous implications for our political and economic life. The Summit and Conference will address these implications in a two-day event. The Summit (April 30) under the theme “A Global Catalyst for Change” will feature keynote addresses and a series of discussions.  The Politics and Ethics Conference (May 1) will bring academics and practitioners together to present their research, experiences and findings on these issues

The Politics and Ethics Conference seeks to address the questions: What is the role of ethics in American society and around the world today? What are the major ethical challenges societies are experiencing and how are they being addressed? How do we find and develop ethical leaders? How do we as citizens and professionals respond to new ethical dilemmas? We invite proposals in these thematic areas.
