Download or read book Governance Matters VIII written by Daniel Kaufmann and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reports on the 2009 update of the Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) research project, covering 212 countries and territories and measuring six dimensions of governance between 1996 and 2008: Voice and Accountability, Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism, Government Effectiveness, Regulatory Quality, Rule of Law, and Control of Corruption. These aggregate indicators are based on hundreds of specific and disaggregated individual variables measuring various dimensions of governance, taken from 35 data sources provided by 33 different organizations. The data reflect the views on governance of public sector, private sector and NGO experts, as well as thousands of citizen and firm survey respondents worldwide. The authors also explicitly report the margins of error accompanying each country estimate. These reflect the inherent difficulties in measuring governance using any kind of data. They find that even after taking margins of error into account, the WGI permit meaningful cross-country comparisons as well as monitoring progress over time. The aggregate indicators, together with the disaggregated underlying indicators, are available at www.govindicators.org.

Book excerpt: This paper reports on the latest update of the Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) research project, covering 212 countries and territories and measuring six dimensions of governance between 1996 and 2006: Voice and Accountability, Political Stability and Absence of Violence, Government Effectiveness, Regulatory Quality, Rule of Law, and Control of Corruption. This latest set of aggregate indicators, are based on hundreds of specific and disaggregated individual variables measuring various dimensions of governance, taken from 33 data sources provided by 30 different organizations. The data reflect the views on governance of public sector, private sector and NGO experts, as well as thousands of citizen and firm survey respondents worldwide. We also explicitly report the margins of error accompanying each country estimate. These reflect the inherent difficulties in measuring governance using any kind of data. We find that even after taking margins of error into account, the WGI permit meaningful cross-country comparisons as well as monitoring progress over time. In less than a decade, a substantial number of countries exhibit statistically significant improvements in at least one dimension of governance, while other countries exhibit deterioration in some dimensions.

They cover 209 countries and territories for 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, and 2004. They are based on several hundred individual variables measuring perceptions of governance, drawn from 37 separate data sources constructed by 31 organizations.

Download or read book Quality of Governance written by Hester Paanakker and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-23 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Quality of governance: Values and violations arrives at a time when governance faces new and often dire challenges and as traditional democratic values strain against the rise of authoritarian forms of populism and anti-government sentiment. This comprehensive volume considers these challenges from a variety of angles- transparency, bureaucratic pathologies, public values, sector relations- but at the same time manages a higher degree of integration than one usually finds in most edited volumes. The individual selections focus on topics of widespread interest but with new theories, analytical frameworks and insights. This book should be read by anyone interested the values bases of governance and in exploring good ideas about how to improve policy and management. The book serves a professional academic audience but could also prove quite useful as a text or supplementary book for graduate and undergraduate courses in public affairs."Barry Bozeman, Regents' Professor, Arizona State University, School of Public Affairs, USA. "Public governance matters. It touches almost every aspect of our lives, from the most mundane to the most important, the most commonplace to the most intimate. This book critically examines some of thorniest values and issues for governance in the 21st century -- democracy, legitimacy, accountability, transparency, integrity, professionalism, and more -- all of which are of crucial importance for practice and research on the quality of governance."Tina Nabatchi, Syracuse University, USA, Co-Chair of the Study Group ‘Quality of Governance’ of the International Institute of Administrative Sciences. "This volume provides an up-to-date overview of key themes and theories about the quality of governance. Many of the field's most thoughtful scholars have contributed chapters on both the positive and problematic dimensions of good governance, providing fascinating insights in this important topic. Therefore, this book is a must read for all scholars, students, and practitioners interested in improving the quality of governance in their countries and institutions."Zeger van der Wal, National University of Singapore and Leiden University The Netherlands. This volume unravels the meaning of public values for the quality of governance, for good and bad governance, and examines their significance in governance practices. It addresses public values in context, in different countries, policy sectors and levels of governance. In a series of in-depth studies, a critical eye is cast over eight central values: democratic legitimacy, accountability, transparency, integrity, lawfulness, effectiveness (in terms of service quality), professionalism and craftsmanship, and robustness. How does for instance integrity or lawfulness contribute to the accomplishment and preservation of quality, and what happens if we fail to address it adequately? This unique exercise yields important lessons on the differences in normative interpretation and application of often abstract values in the demanding administrative settings of today. Practitioners, scholars and students of public administration, public management and political science will find the volume a vital resource for theory and practice.

Book Synopsis On Governance by : Robert I. Rotberg
Download or read book On Governance written by Robert I. Rotberg and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spreading good governance is a key goal of political leaders and reformers — whether it is to improve cities, nations, regimes or institutions — because better-governed people are more likely to avoid civil conflict and obtain significant social returns. But just what is meant by “governance” at the national or international level? Is it a fuzzy concept, or is it a clear set of rules or norms? How can it help to strengthen societies and drive better policy? On Governance: What It Is, What It Measures and Its Policy Uses answers these questions. By proposing new theories for national and global governance, examining more than 90 governance indexes and analyzing best practices in governance, this volume suggests how policy makers can use governance theory and governance indexes to improve both domestic and multilateral decision making. World order depends on strengthened governance. On Governance spells out the meaning and the potential benefits of governance innovation for civil society and national policy makers. Building on the measured effects of policies in many dimensions of human existence, this book provides a guide to creating more positive outcomes for people everywhere.
Book Synopsis Governance Matters Iii by : Daniel Kaufmann
Download or read book Governance Matters Iii written by Daniel Kaufmann and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six dimensions of governance are estimated covering 199 countries and territories for four periods: 1996, 1998, 2000, and 2002. The indicators are based on several hundred individual variables measuring perceptions of governance drawn from 25 data sources constructed by 18 organizations. These individual measures are assigned to categories capturing key dimensions of governance. An unobserved-components model is used to construct six aggregate governance indicators in each of the four periods. Point estimates of the dimensions of governance are provided as well as the margins of errors for each country for the four periods. Methodological issues are also addressed, including tests for potential biases, and the interpretation and use of the data, given the estimated margins of errors for the indicators. The data and a Web-based graphical interface are available online at .www.worldbank.org/wbi/governance/govdata2002/index.html.

Book Synopsis HOW MUCH DOES GOVERNANCE REALLY MATTER? THE EFFECTS OF GOVERNANCE ON WELL-BEING by : Ivan Arcos Axt
Download or read book HOW MUCH DOES GOVERNANCE REALLY MATTER? THE EFFECTS OF GOVERNANCE ON WELL-BEING written by Ivan Arcos Axt and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looking for the impact of governance on well-being, I estimated the relationship of the Governance Indicators constructed by Kaufmann, Kraay and Zoido-Lobaton in 1999 and three well-being outcomes i.e. GDP per capita, infant mortality and years of schooling, in order to find to what extend better governance is related to better levels of well-being. Holding infrastructure and trade openness constant, several Panel Data regressions were used to observe this relationship across four time average periods. The role of infrastructure in this model is outstanding. Holding everything else constant, if infrastructure increases by 1%, GDP per capita is predicted to increase by 11%, infant mortality is predicted to decrease by 9% and the population over 25 years old without schooling is predicted to decrease by 18%. Whereas 1% increase on trade is predicted to decrease infant mortality by 15%, it is not significant to GDP per capita and years of schooling. I found that the impact of several Governance Indicators on GDP per capita turns out to be substantial. One standard deviation increase in any of the Governance Indicators increases GDP per capita between 5 to 16%. However, the effects of governance on infant mortality and schooling are less clear. The only significant results are associated with the only two indicators related with the distributional role of the government i.e. Government Effectiveness and Regulatory Quality. Holding else constant one standard deviation increase in the measure of the effectiveness of government produces a 25% points decrease on the population over 25 years old without schooling, whereas one standard deviation increase in the quality of the country's regulation means a 8.2% reduction on the country's infant mortality rate. It also appears to indicate that GDP growth or average GDP just tell us one part of the story in terms of well-being. The responsibility of the government turns out to be significant in order to ensure not only economic growth but also using this wealth to improve country's human capital expanding opportunities for all the population. Finally, despite the fact that I am not accounting for public spending, it appears to play a central role in these relationships and it seems worthy for further researches.
