As difficult as it might seem to define governance, it appears to
be that much more difficult to measure it. Since the World Bank
Institute launched the Worldwide Governance Indicators in the late
1990s, the governance indicators field has flourished and
experienced significant advances in terms of methodology, data
coverage and quality, and policy relevance. Other major initiatives
have added to a momentum that propelled research on governance
indicators seen in few other academic fields in the economic and
social sciences. Given these developments and the prominence and
policy relevance the field of governance indicator research has
achieved, the time is ripe to take stock and ask what has been
accomplished, what the shortcomings and potentials might be, and
what steps present themselves as a way forward. This volume- the
fifth edition in an annual series tackling different aspects of
governance around the world- assesses what has been achieved,
identifies strengths and weaknesses of current work, and points to
issues that need to be tackled in order to advance the field, both
in its academic importance as well as in its policy relevance. In
short, the contributions to this volume explore the scope of
existing governance indices and indicator frameworks, elaborate on
current challenges in measuring and analysing governance, and
consider how to overcome them.
