-utilitarian consequentialism.
...

That sounds like a fair proportion of it...

wikipedia Wrote:Consequentialism is the class of normative ethical theories holding that the consequences of one's conduct are the ultimate basis for any judgment about the rightness or wrongness of that conduct. Thus, from a consequentialist standpoint, a morally right act (or omission from acting) is one that will produce a good outcome, or consequence

That does seem to quite cover the decision-making elements of governance i.e. costs, benefits and risks.  But "good" is a value-judgement (with intrinsic, contextual and security components).

On the other hand, the models I teach also include elements of Accountability and Responsibility which swing towards deontology and maybe even virtue.

The short-hand for 'governance' is "doing the right things and doing things right".

The second part is the easy bit as it relates to compliance and following practices and processes using an assortment of quality criteria (measurable using both subjective and objective metrics), but the first part hinges on what is meant by 'right' ... this can be but is not always based on something like a PEST (or PESTEL) analysis.  It could also be interpreted through different lenses (autonomy ethics, community ethics, divinity ethics, ideology (of various types)).

A plain language expression of moral realism would be something like "It is right to do what is good, it is wrong to do what is bad.  Things are good or bad due to facts about those things themselves."

I'd be grateful of an example.  And a definition of 'facts' in this context.

Cheers.
