GOOD GOVERNANCE AND ITS IMPACT ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

Good governance is a polymorphous concept that stems from economic and political science. It is used both in the context of the management of public action and in a strategic perspective of economic development. In this article, we are first interested in deconstructing the various contributions to define and reaffirm the role of "good governance" in development strategies. What is "good governance"? How does it have an impact on a country's economy? This paper addresses the issue of causality between good governance and economic development, by examining the inter-connections between economic development and governance indicators to increase transparency and efficiency. The purpose of this article is to organize a systematic literature review in a scientific manner from data collection, through data selection, reading and finally data analysis. The impact of good Governance in economic development differs in political system structure, governance current characteristics and contextual factors. Although outcome factors are influenced by contextual determinants, the governance characteristics are of great importance.

Governance is defined as the exercise of economic, political and administrative authority to manage a country’s affairs at all levels. It comprises mechanisms, processes and institutions, through which citizens and groups articulate their interests, exercise their legal rights meet their obligations and mediate their differences. Thus, governance can be summed up as a process through which authority in a country is exercised (UNDP, 1997; UNESCO, 2012). Development linked governance has been an issue much debated about in the contemporary world. Since the second half of the 1980’s, growth and development studies have started to shed light on the importance of improving institutions of governance on economic growth. Good institutions, good governance and good leadership are considered by many authors as necessary conditions to support the development effort of a country or region. Good governance is believed to be the single most important factor in eradicating poverty and promoting d...

Good governance is a precondition for economic development. The quality of governance plays a vital role in the economic development of countries. The need for good governance is widely recognized in today's discourses on development. The exhortation for good governance to achieve economic development is widespread. President Obama who underscored the importance of good governance to achieve economic development in African countries would no doubt prescribe the same for other countries as well. Even among those who agree that there is a relationship between good governance and economic development, the nexus is not at all clear.

This study explores the conceptual interface between democracy, development and good governance. It also examines the symbiosis between the three concepts, from theoretical perspective and the praxis. The paper historicizes and traces the emergence of good governance as a concept and universally acceptable principle and its use in international development literature to situate how public institutions ought to or should conduct public affairs and manage public resources, particularly within the frameworks of corporate, international, national and local administration or organizations, and the civil society. The study examines the relationship between democracy, good governance and development in Nigeria and blames the slow pace or the state of development in the country, not on lack of resources, but on the absence of good governance, transparency and accountability. It also identifies pervasive corruption and weakness of institutions of the Nigerian state which individuals manipula...

This paper revisits the main arguments on the role of ̳good governance‘ in facilitating economic development. It observes that there are some examples in which neoliberal ̳good governance‘ played a role in facilitating economic development but there are many other examples in which countries attained some level of economic development with governance institutions that were bereft of much 'good governance‘ elements. Thus, it concludes that 'good governance‘ is not an essential pre-requisite for development but it might play some role in facilitating development. The paper argues against the dominant 'one-size-fits-all‘ approach to good governance and support 'good enough governance‘, that encourage reforms to be questioned, prioritised, and made relevant to the conditions of individual countries.

Overview: Good governance is essential for national development, serving as a fundamental pillar that supports economic growth, social progress, and sustainable development. It involves the implementation of policies that promote inclusiveness, the rule of law, and participatory decision-making processes. Body of Knowledge: Inclusive governance ensures that all segments of society, including marginalized groups, have a voice in decision-making processes, promoting social equity and reducing disparities. Moreover, good governance creates the foundation for robust economic development, social harmony, and enhanced quality of life, driving a nation towards comprehensive progress. Methods: The study adopted a mixed methods approach combining quantitative and qualitative data. The study was conducted in Lusaka district, the capital city of Zambia at 6 institutions; 3 belonging to government and 3 under private sector. The target population was 1000, with a sample size of 100; involving government officials and administrators, members from Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and the general citizens. Interviews and questionnaires were used to collect data. The study used descriptive analysis to analyze the data. Results: Effective governance promotes efficient public service delivery, reduces corruption, and enhances the equitable distribution of resources, enabling a conducive environment for businesses and investments. Additionally, good governance supports the creation of robust legal and institutional frameworks that uphold human rights and justice, contributing to a secure and predictable socio-political landscape.

Economic governance has been the foundation of the economic development and growth. Impact of good governance and role of institutions in the process of economic growth and development required for governance have been crucial to investigate due to lack of theories to incorporate the role of good governance in the process of economic growth and institutional reforms. The status of economic growth is dependent on the capacity of institutions, especially in case of an economic structure where state has major role in market and formulating the macroeconomic policies. Good Governance demands participation of all the actors and most of the time public institutions' role and their participation in understanding potential in economic development visa -vis in dynamic global arena is not deliberated. Moreover, economic development is mutually contributed by both public and private institutions. Scrutiny of the good governance principles and political economy of the public sector institutions, it emerges that economic governance depends on the institutional capacity building aliened with more realistic good governance principles. This practice eventually leads towards alleviating internal inefficiency and objective progress eventually reflected by the socioeconomic growth and development at large. This paper analyses the dimension of good governance with historical context to Pakistan and proposes short term and long term measures for economic and governance reforms in Pakistan

Since the 1990s the concept ‘good governance’ has become one of the most widely used in debates in development, public policy and international relations. Despite its recent prominence the concept ‘good governance’ has frequently used in different meanings and implications. Following an introduction, which includes a historiographic note on development discourse, the first part of this paper is intended to be an overview of diverse definitions, interpretations and measuring problems of good governance. The purport of the second part of this paper is to focus on whether good governance matters in development or not, the performance of good governance in Albania. This paper has argued that good governance is indispensable in Albania, because misgovernance is a great hindrance and predicament to development. The politicization of bureaucracy, judiciary, appointment, transfer and promotion in all most all offices, lack of voice and accountability, inefficiency and satisfying the vested ...

Smart governance toolbox: a systematic literature review.

1. Introduction

2. theoretical foundations of the smart governance toolbox, 2.1. conceptualizing smart governance tools, 2.2. components of smart governance as the structure for the toolbox.

• First, both strands of the literature stress the legal and policy frameworks and resources (such as budget) as part of the (system) context. According to Ruhlandt [ 7 ], unique policy and legal challenges emerge in smart governance such as data access and social justice.
• Second, the smart governance literature identifies stakeholders as a principal component. Stakeholders are those involved in collaborative smart governance in any way, such as government, residents, knowledge institutions, and private companies [ 6 , 7 ]. Collaborative governance literature [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ] emphasizes the degree to which these stakeholders might have different or similar interests, aims, and expectations. Therefore, tactics should be used to manage potential conflict, and activities are used for trust-building and shared motivation [ 27 , 28 ].
• Third, the collaborative governance literature emphasizes structure, which refers to elements such as roles and responsibilities and the division of tasks [ 27 ]. Similarly, smart governance literature [ 7 ] stresses that organizational formation facilitates the interaction among the stakeholders, thereby making a distinction between management, political and external structures.
• Fourth, processes refer to the active involvement of, and participation of and collaboration with stakeholders [ 7 ]. In smart governance literature, there is attention to the local conditions of each stakeholder, including administrative cultures [ 3 ]. In contrast, collaborative governance literature also identifies so-called “soft” components of the process such as communication, and leadership.
• Fifth, all smart governance frameworks stress exchange arrangements that constitute the contractual or relational arrangements between different stakeholders in the form of, for example, contracts, business models, and tenders [ 7 , 24 , 25 ]. There is less emphasis on this aspect in collaborative governance literature. However, Emerson et al. [ 28 ] indicate the importance of procedural or institutional arrangements, both the informal norms of reciprocity and formal rules and protocols necessary to manage interactions over time of the collaborative network.
• Sixth, the smart governance literature [ 7 , 24 , 25 ] emphasizes technologies that include data, ICT (information and communication technologies), and technical skills as a central aspect to enhance the provision of services. These frameworks often perceive technology as part of the exchange arrangements. However, because the use of technology is a core component of smart city, we address technology as a separate component [c.f. 7].
• Seventh and last, outcomes are mentioned in both strands of literature in which a distinction is made between substantive outcomes in the form of, for example, economic growth and social inclusion and procedural outcomes that focus on changes in behaviors and procedural changes in implementation in terms of, for example, efficiency and transparency [ 7 , 24 ].

2.3. Smart Governance Toolbox

3. methodology, 3.1. systematic analysis of academic literature.

• Type of studies: records should (1) develop/use a tool (2) support collaborative governance in smart city context.
• Topics: the records should either contain the words “smart city” and “collaborative governance”, “collaboration”, “partnership” in combination with words such as “instrument”, “tool”, “frame”, “method” or “lessons-learned”. The following search string was used:
• Study design: Both empirical and theoretical studies were eligible. Only primary research was included in the scope of this research to prevent tools from being found more often.
• Language: Only English-written studies were selected.
• Publication status: academic articles, book chapters, and conference proceedings were included in the study.
• Year of publication: There was no set publication year for the start of the research. All articles published before December 2020 were included in this study.

3.2. Systematic Analysis of Grey Literature

3.3. analysis of documents in academic and grey literature, 4. findings, 4.1. description of the corpus of smart governance tools, 4.2. types of tools, 4.3. tools concerning the seven categories of our smart governance toolbox.

5. Discussion

6. conclusions, supplementary materials, author contributions, data availability statement, conflicts of interest.

Tourism Review

ISSN : 1660-5373

Article publication date: 23 November 2010

Despite the proliferation of the governance concept in the broader academic literature, there is little agreement on definitions, scope and what actually constitutes governance. This is arguably due to the fact that empirical research on the topic, with some exceptions, is generally limited to case studies without use of any common conceptual framework. This is certainly the case in other fields of study and is becoming increasingly obvious in tourism research also. Therefore, the purpose of the paper is to explore and synthesize the governance literature with the objective of identifying the key elements and dimensions of governance.

Design/methodology/approach

Drawing on the two “parent” bodies of literature originating in the political sciences and corporate management fields of study, the paper provides a review and synthesis of the governance concept with the objective of identifying the primary elements and factors that have been employed in studies of governance to date.

A review of 53 published governance studies identified 40 separate dimensions of governance. From this review, the six most frequently included governance dimensions were: accountability, transparency, involvement, structure, effectiveness and power.

Originality/value

A synthesis of the governance literature has not been undertaken to date, either in the tourism literature or in other fields of study, and in doing so the authors provide a basis for tourism researchers to draw on a set of comparable conceptual dimensions in future research. Comparable dimensions which can be replicated and tested in empirical research will add additional depth and rigor to studies in this field.

This paper aims to clarify the understanding of the conceptual evolution of the adaptive governance framework, followed by an examination of implementation actions in the environmental setting. Since three approaches are recognized to be essential in navigating complex socio-ecological systems, namely adaptive management, adaptive co-management, and adaptive governance. This might lead to confusion and misunderstandings in adaptive concepts and practice. In this study, a systematic literature review was conducted using the Scopus database. A literature search was conducted in Mei 2023 using the keyword "Adaptive Governance" as the search term. As a result, despite sharing the same purpose and philosophy, each approach's work process has distinct features and scales. Adaptive governance emerges as a response to the need for holistic solutions to overcome uncertainty within the framework of complex socio-ecological systems. This is similar to adaptive co-management, although on a larger scale and context. While adaptive management is the conceptual foundation for other approaches.

Review – Rebel Governance in the Middle East

Rebel Governance in the Middle East Edited by Ibrahim Fraihat and Abdalhadi Alijla Palgrave Macmillan Singapore , 2023

Unlike some other overlapping fields, such as social movement studies, which are characterised by historical western-centricity, the field of rebel governance was originally pioneered in non-western cases (Arjona, Kasfir, and Mampilly 2015; Mampilly 2011). However, with some notable exceptions, including some contributors to this volume (Schwab 2018; Furlan 2022), the Middle East has been somewhat underrepresented in the field. Accordingly, Fraihat and Alijla’s edited volume is a most welcome and original effort to address this geographical gap in the field, particularly in light of the significant presence of multiple armed groups of varying ideological orientation across the region.

The volume begins with a well put together introduction by the two co-editors, although the first page argument that rebel governance is an understudied topic seems difficult to justify. Recent years have seen multiple monographs in the most high-profile university presses and special issues and individual articles in highly prestigious journals. While one could query the theoretical ambition and creativity of this broader output, rebel governance has undoubtedly taken root in the mainstream study of conflict (see Teiner 2022). Commendably, the volume includes multiple authors from the region and, even more importantly, contributions from research institutions in the region, adding locally informed expertise to the field often absent in external western analysis of conflict in the Middle East.

Geographically, the book includes three cases from Syria, two addressing the governance efforts of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and one looking at service provision and legitimacy in predominantly Kurdish areas of Northern Syria. One looks at the relationship between Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon and a further chapter looks at the evolution of Iranian backed militias in Iraq and how their presence undermines state institutions. The only chapter which attempts a comparative assessment across state boundaries looks at the propagandistic use of rebel governance by ISIS in Syria and Iraq. A theoretically robust chapter by Furlan assesses the role of ideology in rebel governance implementation across two time periods of Al-Qaida rule in Yemen, thus innovatively providing historical, within-case comparison. A chapter on Afghanistan, often not categorised as a Middle Eastern country, looks at the critical importance of the Taleban’s relationship with its supportive constituency. Other chapters include a focus on tribalism in Libya, how Hamas has used governance to consolidate power in Palestine, and the final contribution looks from an interdisciplinary perspective at the reach of international criminal governance in the cases of Hezbollah and ISIS.

There are a few standout chapters which will certainly make a substantial contribution to our field. Grant-Brook’s argument about state-insurgent interactions and the blurry boundaries between armed groups, the state, and local elites is particularly well founded and convincingly illustrated. Schwab’s chapter on competitive rebel governance builds on her earlier work and is also theoretically ambitious, generating theoretical insights from the empirical cases rather than wholesale importing existing templates of rebel governance and testing them in the Middle East context. It is regrettable that the two chapters do not interact with one another, as there would have been ample scope for complementary insights because they look at chronologically distinct phases of HTS/Jabhat al-Nusrah’s evolution. Furlan’s chapter is one of the few to reference other chapters in the volume and presents findings that will certainly resonate beyond discussions on rebel governance in the region. Ezbidi’s case study of Hamas rule in Gaza takes account of its conceptually ambiguous role as government and resistance movement, creatively fusing the literatures on governance and rebel governance. Other chapters by Al-Aloosy and Bakir were very informative and engaging to read but did not engage in any substantial fashion with the literature on rebel governance and came across more as high-quality, long-read forms of journalism rather than academic texts.

As is almost inevitably the case in edited collections, there is a degree of inconsistency across the volume. Some chapters are written in an academic fashion, but most include no mention of data or methods, erratically engaging with the literature on rebel governance. One of the volume’s strengths is the diffuse background and locally informed provenance of many of the authors, but this also presents certain challenges; language editing was not comprehensive in certain chapters, potentially undermining readers’ ability to fully engage with their content. This, however, is rather a reflection on the publisher’s engagement with the publication process rather than the efforts of the authors’ themselves.

As somebody working on Kurdish armed movements, albeit not in Syria, the chapter on governance and legitimacy in Qamishli by Alijla stood out for a number of reasons. It is rooted in a highly contestable premise that the history of Kurds in Syria shows that a visible coexistence was possible. This “Syria for all” (p.43) perspective downplays the mass denial of citizenship to Kurds during the Assad regime, the policies of Arabization, and the huge Kurdish discontent with this “Syria for all” as evidenced by the Qamishli uprising in 2004. While the author can reasonably question the non-state or post-state ideology of the Democratic Union Party (PYD) (see for e.g. Leezenberg 2016), one could argue that the PYD’s claims to not wish to install a separate state in the region is a medium-term strategy to consolidate support before then launching a subsequent campaign for a state. But to simply ignore that the PYD and its allies explicitly reject a state as its goal, is problematic. Particularly when, due to its governance model’s decentralised nature, it allows other ethnic and religious communities to substantially rule themselves, unlike the centralising tendencies of the Assad regime.

In summary, this book makes a substantial contribution to understanding practises of rebel governance in societies and conflicts which have been heretofore neglected within the sub-field. It has helped consolidate a broader agenda on rebel governance in the Middle East which goes beyond focusing on Islamist exceptionalism. I have no doubt that it will be broadly cited and has hopefully laid the foundation for a more theoretically ambitious understanding not only of rebel governance in the Middle East but in rebel groups globally.

Francis O’Connor ([email protected]) was most recently a Marie Curie Skłodowska Post-Doctoral Fellow in Rural Sociology at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. His research addresses the grey area between violent and non-violent mobilization. He particularly focuses on the relationship between insurgent movements and their supporters: his last project, Routinised Insurgent Space , looks at the spatial dynamics of insurgent support in the cases of the PKK in Turkey and the M-19 in Colombia. He has published on insurgent movements in Turkey and Kurdistan, Mexico and Colombia, anti-austerity protests in Europe, lone-actor radicalisation and social movement mobilisation in secessionist referendums. His most recent publications focus on the PKK in the 1970s and the M-19 in urban Colombia .
