The following research is based on discourse analysis of official statements, speeches and policy documents published by the governments of the eight Arctic states as well as China and the NATO alliance between January 2012 and June 2019. This document provides a brief summary of the key narratives promoted by each of these 10 Arctic actors, drawing particular attention towards how they frame their identity in the Arctic (self), how they conceptualise the region (region) and how they frame relations with other Arctic stakeholders (others). The narratives identified in the discourse were coded according to the different national power dimensions and political values that they communicate. This summary is intended to give an over-view of the narrative landscape of the Arctic as indication of key national interests and areas of strategic priorities for each of these 10 Arctic actors.

Corruption in politics and public administration is pervasive and difficult to eliminate. It has a strong effect on public attitudes toward government and is at the same time badly understood. A clear, comprehensive understanding of corruption is critical to the goal of ethical government that is trusted by the public. In this short and accessible text, Staffan Andersson and Frank Anechiarico demonstrate how the dynamics of life in organizations both generate corruption and make it difficult to prevent without undermining the effectiveness of government. They argue that how we define corruption, how we measure it, and how we try to combat it are strongly interrelated and should not be seen as separate issues. The authors demonstrate how this integrated approach, together with a focus on the damage caused by corruption to civic inclusivity and participation, can serve as an entry point for understanding the quality of democracy and the challenge of good governance. Using examples from mainly the United States and Sweden, Andersson and Anechiarico establish that recent anti-corruption reforms in public administration have often been narrowly focused on bribery (exchange corruption) and law enforcement approaches, while doing too little to other problems and forms of corruption, such as interest conflict. Corruption and Corruption Control: Democracy in the Balance will be of great interest to all students of politics, public administration and management, and ethics.--

Ricoeur on évoque souvent la pensée herméneutique et éthique. La réflexion politique est pourtant loin d'être absente. Elle constitue au contraire une préoccupation permanente, mais traverse des écrits demeurés dispersés jusqu'ici. Les principaux, souvent méconnus, sont réunis dans cet ouvrage, qui en sélectionne dix-sept, allant de 1958 à 2003.Comme toujours chez Ricoeur, ces textes répondent à des demandes qui s'enracinent dans l'actualité. Pourtant, son effort philosophique leur donne valeur universelle et durable. Ricoeur insiste ainsi sur le paradoxe politique d'une tension continuelle entre "raison" et violence, et sur des préoccupations contemporaines, qu'il s'agisse du "mal" et de la responsabilité morale en politique, de l'autorité et de la conviction dans la vie démocratique, ou de la tolérance, de la condition de l'étranger, de l'identité et des enjeux de l'élaboration, difficile, d'un ethos européen.

What makes a government legitimate? Arthur Isak Applbaum rigorously argues that the greatest threat to democracies today is not loss of basic rights or despotism. It is the tyranny of unreason: domination of citizens by incoherent, inconstant, incontinent rulers. A government that cannot govern itself cannot legitimately govern others.
