Reviews
"... well written and thoroughly documented." --J.S. Robey, University of Texas at Brownsville, Choice , 4/1/2003, "...this is an important book. It will stimulate arguments from several different perspectives. The book highlights important issues about our traditional approach to regulation. It uses the lens of ethics regulation to raise critical questions about how we 'solve' problems." --Raymond W. Cox, III, University of Akron, Presidential Studies Quarterly , 9/1/2003, "'Scandal Proof' is a thoughtfully written account and highly recommended..." -- Wisconsin Bookwatch , 2/1/2003, "Scandal Proof' is intriguing on several fronts...Mackenzie and Hafkin marry these political foci with a traditional policy analysis centered around costs and benefits to assess both the output and the outcome of attempts to deal with scandal. Thus, Mackenzie and Hafkin's work has a relatively wide range of appeal. Students of politics as well as participants within the system will find this work compelling as well as useful... In spite of, or perhaps because of, the contemplation of the unquantifiable, Scandal Proof provides an effective means for evaluating the enormous array of regulation of an unattainable goal." --Joseph White, Case Western Reserve University, Congress and the Presidency, "Scandal Proof successfully attempts to outline and explore the development and current status of ethics regulation in the federal executive branch....highly readable, lively and accessible and best suited to specialised undergraduate or postgraduate courses." --Esther C. Jubb, Liverpool John Moores University, Political Studies Review , 1/1/2004, "... well written and thoroughly documented." -J.S. Robey, University of Texas at Brownsville, Choice, 4/1/2003 "Academics are never more useful than when they are taking on conventional wisdom and tearing it apart. That is exactly what G.

Synopsis
In 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order 10930, the first step in a long series of efforts to regulate the ethical behavior of executive branch officials. A few years later Lyndon B. Johnson required all senior officials to report assets and sources of non-government income to the Civil Service Commission. The reaction to Watergate opened the floodgates to more laws and rules: the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, subsequent expansions of that act in the 1980s and 1990s, and sweeping executive orders by Presidents George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton. The consequence of these aggressive efforts to scandal proof the federal government is a heavy accumulation of law and regulation administered by agencies employing hundreds of people and spending millions of dollars every year. Ethics regulation has been one of the steady growth sectors in the federal government for decades. This book explores the process that led to the current state of ethics regulation in the federal executive branch. It assesses whether efforts to scandal proof the federal government have been successful, what they have cost, and whether reforms should be considered. The book's chapters: describe the radical differences between the public service environment of yesteryear and today ]s heavy regulatory atmosphere provide an overview of government corruption and integrity in America through 1960 describe the evolution of the regulatory process and political factors that have led to its current incarnation assess the substance of existing ethics regulations as well as the size, cost, and complexity of the enforcement infrastructure employ survey research and other empirical data from various executive branch scandals to measure the efficacy of current ethics regulations Informed by research of unprecedented scope and depth, Scandal Proof provides a balanced assessment of the character and impact of federal ethics regulatory efforts--in the process raising an important question: Is there a better way to ensure honest government in Washington?, In 1961, President John F.

- v***v (2054)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
