"This is an important work, especially in these times when administrative ethics are getting more attention. It is readable and timely; recommended for all academic libraries." (The Journal of Academic Librarianship)
"While there is a wide range of good books and articles on ethics in public administration, the best is Terry Cooper's The Responsible Administrator." (H. George Frederickson, Edwin O. Stene Professor of Public Administration, University of Kansas, Praise from the Third Edition)
"The Responsible Administrator is a book of lasting significance. It is at once theoretically sophisticated and practically useful. . . . for both the scholar and the manager." (James Bowman, professor of public administration, Florida State University, Praise from the Third Edition)
"When I taught Ethical Problems in Public Administration I found The Responsible Administrator the most 'teachable' of the books available because it provided a balanced menu of cases, information, analysis, and theory. I am pleased to see the work further developed and enriched." (Dwight Waldo, professor emeritus, The Maxwell School, Syracuse University, Praise from the Third Edition)
"A cogent and well organized piece of work. Overall, this book is an excellent piece of scholarship. The writing style is clear and concise. "The strength of this book is its ability to integrate rather difficult philosophical and moral questions with good case studies. I know of no other book that achieves these goals as well. "In sum, both pre-service students and practitioners will be enriched by being exposed to this important book." (Curtis Ventriss, associate professor of public administration, University of Vermont, Praise from the Third Edition)
Review
“Cooper’s fifth edition is the definitive text for students and practitioners who want to have a successful administrative career. Moral reasoning, as Cooper so adeptly points out, is essential in today’s rapidly changing and complex global environment.”--Donald C. Menzel, Ph.D., president, American Society for Public Administration; professor emeritus, public administration,
“The Responsible Administrator is at once the most sophisticated and the most practical book available on public sector ethics. It is conceptually clear and jargon-free, which is extraordinary among books on administrative ethics.”--H. George Frederickson, Stone Distinguished Professor of Public Administration, University of
“Remarkably effective in linking the science of what should be done with a prescriptive for how to actually do it, the fifth edition of Cooper’s book keeps pace with the dynamic changes in the field, both for those who study it and those who practice it. The information presented in these pages can be found nowhere else, and it is information we cannot ethically afford to ignore.”--Carole L. Jurkiewicz, Ph.D., John W. Dupuy Endowed Professor, Woman’s Hospital Distinguished Professor of Healthcare Management, Louisiana State University, E. J. Ourso College of Business Administration, Public Administration Institute
“After a quarter of a century in print and five editions, it is time to name Terry Cooper’s The Responsible Administrator a classic, not only in the field of public service ethics, but in the broader domain of public policy and administration as well. As useful and enlightening as it was when first published in the Reagan era, this new edition works well for a post 9/11 public service with its strong emphasis on the design approach to ethics.”--Guy B. Adams, professor and associate director, Harry S. Truman School of Public Affairs,
