The Second Try: Labor and the EEC presents the constant interaction between external and domestic foreign policy and economic factors. This book serves as a specimen case-history to understand the relevant affairs in general. Organized into three parts, this book begins with an overview of the Labor Party's attitude towards problems of European unity, which is determined by the principles of democratic socialism. This text then discusses the policy of the six members of the European Economic Community to stress that in spite of all the well-known difficulties, they wanted to see Great Britain become a full member of the organization. Other chapters consider the implications for the laws and the legal systems of Great Britain. This book discusses as well the aspects of the European Treaties, which depend on the powers conferred on the Community institutions. The final chapter deals with the reestablishment of Great Britain's economic and monetary situation. This book is a valuable resource for students and teachers.
What would tempt you to whistleblow? Do Codes of Conduct make organisations ethical? How do people react to taking the blame for others? This book answers such questions, drawing on the views of employees in eight large organisations. One finding is the `whited sepulchre phenomenon': an organisation which presents a squeaky-clean image to the world but has intrinsic failings which cause moral dilemmas for staff. While treatment of customers is regulated by Codes and Charters, internal organisation is typically more anarchic. The study also exposes the moral conflicts generated by party-political machinations in organisations with democratic governance. The book offers a unique perspective on ethical attitudes at work and reactions to responsibility and accountability. It finds that, although religious belief is declining, strong moral beliefs still thrive and `ethical employees' abound. It highlights the importance of empowerment, procedures, and professionalism in creating the `moral organisation'. This original study will interest practitioners in business, the public sector and NGOs, especially human resources professionals, as well as philosophers and business ethicists.
