ABSTRACT

What emerging issues and challenges should we focus on to ensure that ethical governance moves forward, not backward, in the twenty-first century? There are many. Among them are privatization, the Information Age, the global pursuit of economic well-being and democratic governance, and ethics education. The future, it so often seems, is here with the historic boundary between public and private sectors a vast blur. Equally blurred is the timeline between the past, present, and future. The time warp of cyberspace and instantaneous worldwide communication has all but collapsed our calendars. In this concluding chapter, we take a close look at the challenges that must be overcome to foster ethical governance.1
