Selecting Privacy-Enhancing Technologies for Managing Health Data Use
Privacy protection for health data is more than simply stripping datasets of specific identifiers. Privacy protection increasingly means the application of privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs), also known as privacy engineering. Demands for the application of PETs are not yet met with ease of use or even understanding. This paper provides a scope of the current peer-reviewed evidence regarding the practical use or adoption of various PETs for ma…
Challenges of Artificial Intelligence Review in a Soft Law Environment
If artificial intelligence (AI) lives up to the claims of journalists, futurists, and tech companies, then AI stands to disrupt the landscape of human cognition, social order, and political power. Within a week’s span, AI can be discussed in both positive and utopian terms as well as in negative, even apocalyptic, terms. On the positive side, AI is described as an extraordinarily confident and capable F-16 pilot [2] , a panoptic gastroenterologis…
Playing it safe: Toy safety and conformity assessment in Europe and the United States
Do similar standards of product safety lead to similar levels of consumer safety? In 2007, more than 19 million toys worldwide were recalled for violations of applicable safety standards. Following these recalls, both the EU and the US instituted new policies governing children’s products: the US Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) and EU 2009 Toy Safety Directive. The relevant toy safety standards that emerged from this legis…
Regulating Autonomy: An Assessment of Policy Language for Highly Automated Vehicles
Self-driving cars (also known as driverless cars, autonomous vehicles, and highly automated vehicles [HAVs]) will change the regulatory, political, and ethical frameworks surrounding motor vehicles. At the highest levels of automation, HAVs are operated by independent machine agents, making decisions without the direct intervention of humans. The current transportation system assumes human intervention though, including legal and moral responsibi…

Solidarity, Political Theory, and the Place of Social Benefits in Administrative Ethics
Beneficence in Public Administration Research, or Who Needs the NSF Anyway
The charge to link academic research to good ends is one that has, lately, been linked to federal funding for all types of political science research, to include public adminsitration research. Public administration researchers are proded frequently to develop “points for practitioners” or “recommendations for practice” from their academic research projects. The purpose of these points is to provide practitioners with tools to improve government …
Beneficence and the Expert Bureaucracy: Ethics for the Future of Big Data Governance
The future of public administration lies in its ethical knowledge work and expertise. Government knowledge in years ahead will rely on Big Data research and analysis. Given the strong role that data analytics will play, three principles of research ethics—beneficence, precaution, and refinement—are arguably the ideal ethical principles for the future.

Research Integrity in Greater C hina: Surveying Regulations, Perceptions and Knowledge of Research Integrity from a H ong K ong Perspective
In their 2010 article ‘Research Integrity in China: Problems and Prospects’, Zeng and Resnik challenge others to engage in empirical research on research integrity in China. Here we respond to that call in three ways: first, we provide updates to their analysis of regulations and allegations of scientific misconduct; second, we report on two surveys conducted in Hong Kong that provide empirical backing to describe ways in which problems and prosp…
Conceptual Clarification and the Task of Improving Research on Academic Ethics
Research integrity, image manipulation, and anonymizing photographs in visual social science research
Undocumented alterations to research images, defined in this piece as image manipulation, may represent a case of research misconduct. What constitutes image manipulation, particularly when images of human participants used in research need to be adjusted for protection of participant confidentiality? In this article, conceptual clarifications of the definition of image manipulation, image management, and research integrity are developed and adap…
Demystifying the Hermit Kingdom: The constitution and public administration in North Korea
Background Situations of extreme information deficit regarding administrative behavior are rare, but such conditions persist for the most enigmatic and troubling nations, such as North Korea. How might the behavior of public administrators be explained when systematic observation of individual administrators or institutions’ parties is not feasible? Aim Finding a way to estimate administrative behavior based upon the information available is an i…
Ethical Assurance Statements in Political Science Journals
Many journals in the physical sciences require authors to submit assurances of compliance with human subjects and other research ethics standards. These requirements do not cover all disciplines equally, however. In this paper we report on the findings of a survey of perceptions of ethical and managerial problems from journal editors in political science and related disciplines. Our results show that few journals in political science require assu…
Supervisors and Academic Integrity: Supervisors as Exemplars and Mentors
Editors' Perceptions of Ethical and Managerial Problems in Political Science Journals
Within the medical and physical sciences journals evidence suggests that problems of authorship ethics and journal management bedevil the editors of these journals. Although anecdotal evidence suggests that similar problems persist in political science, the extent of these problems within political science is not well established. Here we report the results of a survey of political science journal editors' perceptions of ethical and managerial is…
The Logic of the History of Ideas and the Study of Comparative Political Theory
Mark Bevir's The Logic of the History of Ideas is highly influential in intellectual history circles. What intellectual historians may not realize is how much influence Logic has for other disciplines linked to intellectual history. Relying upon Bevir's arguments for the place of evidence, coherence, and non-methodological prescriptivism in the performance of intellectual history, in this symposium contribution I outline what comparative politica…
The ethics of my counterpart: Public service ethics in Chinese philosophy
China is rising. As China ascends in power, it is likely that ‘Western’ administrators – American and European, in particular – will find that they must interact with Chinese administrators more and more. In this article, I offer readers a brief glimpse into Chinese administrative ethics through an investigation of two forms of Chinese philosophy – Confucianism and Taoism. In addition to reviewing these philosophies, I derive some consequences fo…

Race, Medicine, and Social Justice: Pharmacogenetics, Diversity, and the Case of BiDil
In this article, I probe an example of high-technology medicine as a case study in the problems of the regulation of advancing technology. Specifically, I address the implications of pharmacogenomics-an emerging form of population-based health care intervention-for public policies designed to eliminate racial disparities in health. Using the case of BiDil, a historical precursor to pharmacogenetic technology, I offer a framework for further studi…
A Young Turk in a Gilded Cage: A Rejoinder to the Responses
In this response paper I will address points brought forth by each of the reviewers, but choose to spend more time on the responses of O.C. McSwite and Ralph Hummel as these responses I believe are the more fruitful of the four. Certainly Rutgers' and Cunningham's responses are useful, yet I believe that their criticisms can be subsumed easily under the headings of response to McSwite and Hummel. I will start with McSwite
Old Wine in a New Bottle, with a Twist
The Study of Administration and the Persistence of the Legitimacy Question: An Essay on a Concept
Concepts, such as legitimacy, continue to be critical parts of the normative and empirical study of public administration. Yet, they are often under-defined either with respect to present scholarship or the scholarship of the past. In this brief essay, I offer an analysis of the importance of conceptual clarity for this generation of public administration scholars, as well as an analysis of the components of conceptual inquiry, using the concept …
Methodological Balkanization, Language Games and The Persistence of The Identity Crisis in Public Administration: A Student's Perspective
