Do we need to re-think our governance systems? In light of covid-19, emerging technology and competing ethics, what must we appreciate and innovate?
Public Leadership and Ethics

Brief
Do we ever question how we are governed and whether systems of governance are conducive to overall welfare for citizens? What are some of the biggest tension points in politics and public law and how do we reconcile them? With a world that is becoming increasingly multi-polar, how do we handle cooperation, competition, and conflict?
This hub brings together various researchers who have explored aspects of goverancne from multiple perspectives and look to confront some.

What elements of the current system do not fit that purpose,and what are the key leverage points?
Is leadership an opportunity to serve the people or a power-tripfor an individual?
Do models that rest on the influence of one charismatic and strong leader internalise the value of serving the people effectively?
What scope does the system allow for citizens to challenge itand reorient it?
What responsibilities does the citizen have within that systemto actively participate in it and use it for the right purpose?
What rights and duties do citizens have?
Do political parties appease a narrow constituency that will re-elect them or serve the people as a whole?
