Within the field of political philosophy the role of states governments and institutions has dominated research. This has led to a dearth of literature that examines what individualsâe. g. voters lobbyists and politiciansâought (or ought not) to do. Ethics in Politics: The Rights and Obligations of Individual Political Agents meets this need providing a timely discussion of normative questions concerning political agents and the systems in which they act. The book contains eighteen original chapters by leading scholars which cover a range of topics including irrational voting bribery partisanship and political lying. Ethics in Politics is a unique and accessible resource for students researchers and all interested readers and sheds light on important but underexplored issues in ethics and political philosophy. .
