The use of indicators as a technique of global governance is
increasing rapidly. Major examples include the World Bank's Doing
Business Indicators, the World Bank's Good Governance and Rule of
Law indicators, the Millennium Development Goals, and the
indicators produced by Transparency International. Human rights
indicators are being developed in the UN and regional and advocacy
organizations. The burgeoning production and use of indicators has
not, however, been accompanied by systematic comparative study of,
or reflection on, the implications, possibilities, and pitfalls of
this practice.
This book furthers the study of these issues by examining the
production and history of indicators, as well as relationships
between the producers, users, subjects, and audiences of
indicators. It also explores the creation, use, and effects of
indicators as forms of knowledge and as mechanisms of making and
implementing decisions in global governance. Using insights from
case studies, empirical work, and theoretical approaches from
several disciplines, the book identifies legal, policy, and
normative implications of the production and use of indicators as a
tool of global governance.
