POLS 324 - Ethics and Public Policy


Units: 3
Three hours lecture per week
Explores ethical frameworks to analyze policies and policymakers, looking beyond whether a policy is efficient to determine if it is just. Examines different elements of political ethics; when it might be just to lie; if expertise should trump the democratic process; whether to compromise on issues of moral disagreement; and what should be considered when crafting law and policy in a pluralistic democracy.
