  • More about The Ethics of Whistleblowing


Eric Boot examines the ethical issues surrounding whistleblowing, including the justification for disclosing classified government documents, the duty to blow the whistle, and the potential for a public interest defense.

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


Following the immense political, legal, and media attention that has surrounded high-profile cases of whistleblowing, such as Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden, the fundamental ethical questions surrounding whistleblowing have often been obscured. In this fascinating book, Eric Boot examines the ethical issues at stake in whistleblowing. Can the disclosure of classified government documents ever be justified? If so, how? Why does it require justification in the first place? Can there ever be a duty to blow the whistle? When is breaking the law justified?

On a more practical level, this book also considers the various whistleblower protection documents and finds them often lacking in consistency and clarity. Before providing an argument for a plausible public interest defense for whistleblowers, it examines the various whistleblower protection documents and finds them often lacking in consistency and clarity.

This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the ethical implications of whistleblowing and the legal protections available to whistleblowers. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the issues at stake and offers practical solutions to the challenges faced by whistleblowers.
