While good governance is a worthy goal, this book argues that it is
not a prerequisite for economic growth or development. The book
exposes the methodological shortcomings of the commonly-used
governance indicators developed within the World Bank. The authors
argue that donors should not impose onerous good governance
conditions, expecting the developing world to simulate
now-developed countries. They contend that most poor countries lack
the administrative and financial capacity to achieve these reforms
or institutions - so donor conditionality often becomes a recipe
for failure. In place of grand government reforms aimed at
enhancing market efficiency, the book's position is that the reform
agenda should target strategic bottlenecks for development and
enhance the state's capacity to deal with these disruptions.
Bringing together contributions from leading political scientists,
political economists and development practitioners, this is the
first book to provide a systematic critical perspective on received
notions of good governance.
