Democracy, Trust and the Problem of ‘Dirty Hands’
Philosophy in the Contemporary World 10 (1):37-42 (2003)
Abstract
‘Dirty hands’ scenarios require politicians to commit moral violations to achieve worthwhile goals. To mitigate the harm done to the fiduciary relationship underlying a democratic society, I argue for the adoption of two procedures: retrospective accountability and special oversight committees. I also offer three criteria for a much-required political ethic.Author's Profile
