Preferred term

political ethics  

Definition

  • “The Prince,” Niccolò Machiavelli (1532) famously wrote, “must learn how not to be good,” by which he meant, to act in a manner deemed unethical according to the ethical standards of his time. Cynics might claim that this is hardly something politicians need to learn. [Source: The Encyclopedia of Political Science; Ethics, Political]
