Order Ethics: An Ethical Framework for the Social Market Economy
This book examines the theoretical foundations of order ethics and discusses business ethics problems from an order ethics perspective. Order ethics focuses on the social order and the institutional environment in which individuals interact. It is a well-established paradigm in European business ethics. The book contains articles written by leading experts in the field and provides both a concise introduction to order ethics and short summary articles homing in on specific aspects of the order-ethical paradigm. It presents contributions describing fundamental concepts, historical roots, and the economic, social, and philosophical background of the theory. The second part of the handbook focuses on the theory's application in business, society, and politics, casting new light on an array of topics that loom large in contemporary ethical discourse.
A New Institutional Economics Perspective on Industry Self-Regulation
The idea of self-regulation as an instrument capable of mitigating socially undesirable practices in industries - such as corruption, environmental degradation, or the violation of human rights - is receiving substantial consideration in theory and practice. By approaching this phenomenon with the theory of the New Institutional Economics, Jan Sammeck develops an analytical approach that points out the critical mechanisms which decide about the effectiveness of this instrument. By integrating theory with practical examples of self-regulation, this study highlights the necessity to look at the institutional incentives of an industry, in order to come to a sound judgement about the feasibility and effectiveness of this instrument in a given situation.
Economic Responsibility
John Maurice Clark’s article “The Changing Basis of Economic Responsibility,“ published in the Journal of Political Economy, is the topical starting point for all scholars interested in economic responsibility and responsible economic action. John Maurice Clark (1884-1963), a leading institutional economist, reflected on the consequences of the social and economic change taking place at the turn of the last century for the responsibility of individuals, businesses, and corporations and called for the development of an economics of responsibility. This book contains in-depth articles by scholars from within and beyond economics who continue on the Clark project or address actual problems calling for economic responsibility in the light of his approach.
Imperialism
The philosopher W.B. Gallie argued many years ago that there could be no simple definition of words such as 'freedom' because they embodied what he called 'essentially contested concepts'. They were words whose meaning had to be fought over and whose compteting definitions arose out of political struggle and conflict. Imperialism, and its close ally, colonialism, are two such contested concepts. This set will give readers an insight in to the main lines of debate about the meanings of imperialism and colonialism over the last two centuries.
Managementethik und Arbeitsplätze
Christoph Wagner nimmt eine managementethische Analyse von Situationskonstellationen im Kontext der Schaffung, des Erhalts und Abbaus von Arbeitsplätzen vor. Sein metaphysischer, mikroanalytischer Realitätszugang gestattet es, die objektive Polydimensionalität der empirischen Realität in Unternehmen zu erfassen und so der Gefahr unzulässiger Abstrahierungen in Richtung des Economic oder Moral Point of View zu begegnen. Der Autor entwickelt auf dieser Basis ein differenziertes moralökonomisches Analysegerüst für ein betriebswirtschaftlich wie ethisch verantwortetes Arbeitsplatzmanagement.

Korruption
Die Beiträge aus philosophischer, wirtschafts- und rechtswissenschaftlicher und kriminologischer Perspektive belegen die Einsicht, dass schärfere Gesetze zur Korruptionsbekämpfung nicht ausreichen, sondern dass umfassende flankierende Maßnahmen - von der strukturellen Veränderung bis zur individuellen Aufklärung - notwendig sind.
