In all societies, the quality of government institutions is of the
utmost importance for the well-being of its citizens. Problems like
high infant mortality, lack of access to safe water, unhappiness
and poverty are not primarily caused by a lack of technical
equipment, effective medicines or other types of knowledge
generated by the natural or engineering sciences. Instead, the
critical problem is that the majority of the world s population
live in societies that have dysfunctional government institutions.
Central issues discussed in the book include: how can good
government be conceptualized and measured, what are the effects of
'bad government' and how can the quality of government be improved?
Good Government will prove invaluable for students in political
science, public policy and public administration. Researchers in
political science and the social sciences, as well as policy
analysts working in government, international and independent
policy organizations will also find plenty to interest them in this
resourceful compendium. Contributors: E. Andersson, M. Bauhr, N.
