- Abstract
- A governance crisis may not only be detrimental to public trust of the government, but can also be a source of economic stagnation and social instability.
Good and bad governance has become an indispensable line of research in public
management. Scholars and practitioners in public management are concerned about what makes some government institutions better than others. This paper first explores the theoretical evolution of the term governance as distinct from government. Second, it sorts out factors related to definitions and measurements of good and bad governance in comparative perspective based on two
competing theoretical frameworks for understanding these concepts: principles
and consequences. Third, it provides criteria for the notion of good and bad governance and argues that it is multidimensional, continuous rather than discrete, conditional, consequential, and empirical as well as philosophical. Finally, this paper identifies emerging challenges and opportunities for advancing understanding
of good and bad governance.
