Introduction / I.Primoratz -- PART I -- Dirty Hands: Doing Wrong to do Right / S.de Wijze -- There is no Dilemma of Dirty Hands / K.Nielsen-- Punishing the Dirty / N.Levy -- The Moral, the Personal and the Political / G.Cullity -- Professional Ethics for Politicians? / A.Alexandra -- Noble Cause Corruption in Politics / S.Miller -- The Moral Realityin Realism / C.A.J.Coady -- PART II -- Patriotism: Its Moral Credentials / J.Gaffney -- Political Complicity: Democracy and Shared Responsibility / J.Thompson -- 'Barbarians at the Gates': The Moral Costs of Political Community / R.Sparrow --Lying and Politics / D.W.Lovell -- Torture and Political Morality / J.Kleinig -- Military Obedience:Rhetoric and Reality / J.Wolfendale.

The (im)morality of politics is an inescapable issue for philosophers, politicians, and common citizens. It is particularly pressing in times like ours, when dramatic developments put under severe strain moral constraints on political action, while our trust in politicians is sorely tried by their words and actions. This book is a timely contributionfrom prominent philosophers to the publicdebate, exploring the fundamental problem of the relationship of politics and morality and a stringof specific issues: Should political morality be more permissive of deception, manipulation, and violence? How to judge politicians who have compromised themselves on our behalf? Is there room for morality in international relations? Is patriotism a virtue? What are the rights and wrongs of lying anddeception in politics? What are the moral costs of policies that keep out most of those seeking immigration or asylum? May we use torture in the 'war on terror'? What are the moral hazards of militaryobedience?
