Zusammenfassung
How can the seemingly contradictory trends of international convergence of ethical standards and persistent differences in the shape and quantity of ethics measures be explained? This article presents a framework that combines explanatory factors for both trends and shows that they can very plausibly coexist. The framework is based on the logic of a principal-agent relationship as applied to the democratic system of representation and accountability and on institutionalist considerations of path dependency. Empirical evidence is gained from a structured-focused comparison of two case studies—Germany and the United States—which are described systematically according to the elements of an ethics infrastructure. As a result, it can be shown that the international convergence of ethical standards is mediated by institutional path dependency and specific administrative and legal traditions.
