Emanuela Ceva and Matthieu Debief have contributed to the open-access book "Philanthropy: Multidisciplinary Perspectives", edited by Giulia Neri-Castracane and Giuseppe Ugazio.
Their chapter, titled “Philanthropy and Institutional Trust,” explores the question: “Should philanthropy have a role in responding to crises of trust in and within public institutions, and if yes, what role?” They approach this issue by examining the relationship between philanthropy and institutional trust through the lens of public ethics.

The Margins of Corruption PI, Emanuela Ceva, and Maria Paola Ferretti (University of Mainz) have co-authored a new book in Italian on the Ethics of Anticorruption. Central to the book is the idea that anticorruption should be understood as a means to uphold institutional well-functioning and support officeholders in fulfilling their roles, rather than merely a system of legalistic surveillance.

What kind of relation holds between the corruption of an institution and that of the officeholders within in? In this new encyclopedia entry on Institutional Corruption the authors offer an essential critical survey of philosophical theories of institutional corruption as developing teleological (§1), substrate (§2), discontinuity (§3), continuity (§4), impartiality (§5), and democratic (§6) explanations of this dysfunction of public institutions.

What makes public institutions normatively distinctive, if anything? Is there a sense in which the privatisation of the public function corrupts such distinctiveness? If such a sense is there, what exactly makes it worth opposing? These questions offer the coordinates for Chiara Cordelli’s insightful and much needed philosophical discussion of the fast-spreading practical delegation of collectively valuable or useful tasks to private providers.
