Abstract
"In this paper we intend to look at what constitutes responsible political leadership. We first explore the definitions so that we may be able to clearly state our conceptual perspective and reduce misunderstanding, considering that words mean different things and connote different ideas in different times and different contexts. What do we understand to be the meaning of politics, leadership and responsibility? It is my intention, after looking at the definitions, to discuss what I consider to be the essential virtues and values in political leadership for it to be regarded as responsible. It should be noted from the beginning that this is an issue of ethics, in which a diversity of perspectives and opinions is possible. In applied ethics, what some people may consider to be moral may not be accepted as such by others.", p 265 (Introduction)
