Course Synopsis

The concept of good governance developed in the last decade of the 20th century. After then, it emerged as one of the most important and enduring new expanses of policy and practice in development studies. Since then, a critical policy issue has been how to reform and reconstruct states in the developing world, focusing on two key areas: the creation of more effective and legitimate legal, administrative, financial and policymaking institutions; and the promotion of social justice and empowerment for poor people by connecting an active civil society. The developing states like Pakistan have been suffering from Bad Governance. This course has been designed to encompass the concept of Good Governance, its dimensions, and relationship with a theoretically informed understanding of debates on governance and democracy.
