Nicolas Kirby argues that there can be no strict definition of such values.
He argues that public officials have to be able to exercise judgement about what they think is best for the public.
He says the idea of impartiality’ makes no sense as an account of how public officials ought to reason.
To act impartially is to act on the basis of reasons required by law and policy, and where they leave discretion to not act on partial reasons.
By itself, this definition is inadequate: since it would permit any reason for public action, so long as it were not partial.
Some would argue that it is necessary but insufficient: we also need efficiency, trustworthiness, public participation, accountability and legitimacy.
