Odugbemi, SinaJacobson, Thomas2012-05-292012-05-292008978-0-8213-7456-6https://hdl.handle.net/10986/6513This book is a contribution to efforts to improve governance systems around the world, particularly in developing countries. It offers a range of innovative approaches and techniques for dealing with the most important nontechnical challenges that prevent many of those efforts from being successful or sustainable. By so doing, the book sets out the groundwork for governance reform initiatives. Its overarching argument is that the development community is not lacking the tools needed for technical solutions to governance challenges. The toolbox is overflowing; best practice manuals in various areas of interest tumble out of seminars and workshops. However, difficulties arise when attempts are made to apply what are often excellent technical solutions under real-world conditions. Human beings, acting either alone or in groups small and large, are not as amenable as are pure numbers. And they cannot be put aside. In other words, in the real world, reforms will not succeed, and they will certainly not be sustained, without the correct alignment of citizens, stakeholders, and voice.en-USCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISMSACTIVE PARTICIPATIONALLEGIANCEANTICORRUPTIONANTICORRUPTION STRATEGYASSETSAUTHORITYBALLOT BOXBANKING SYSTEMBANKSBASIC SERVICESBEST PRACTICEBEST PRACTICESBUREAUCRACYCANDIDATESCENTRAL AMERICACITIZENCITIZEN ENGAGEMENTCITIZEN NEEDSCITIZEN PARTICIPATIONCITIZEN VOICECITIZENSCITIZENSHIPCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCOALITIONSCOLLAPSECOLLAPSESCOLLECTIVE ACTIONCOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNISTCOMMUNIST PARTYCOMMUNITY GROUPSCOMMUNITY-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENTCONSENSUSCONSTITUENTSCONSTITUTIONCONSTITUTIONALISMCORPORATE GOVERNANCECORRUPTIONCORRUPTION IN GOVERNMENTCPICRISESDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION MAKINGDECISION-MAKERSDECISION-MAKINGDECISION-MAKING POWERDECISION-MAKING PROCESSDEMOCRACYDEMOCRATIC PRACTICESDEMOCRATIZATIONDICTATORSE-MAILECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHELECTIONELECTION CAMPAIGNELECTION TIMEELECTIONSELECTORATEELECTRONIC PROCUREMENTENTERPRISE REFORMEXPENDITUREEXPRESS OPINIONFINANCE MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL SECTORFINANCIAL SYSTEMFINANCIAL TRANSACTIONSFRANCHISEFREE PRESSGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNANCE CHALLENGESGOVERNANCE INITIATIVESGOVERNANCE REFORMGOVERNANCE REFORMSGOVERNMENT DECISIONGOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONSGOVERNMENT PROCUREMENTGOVERNMENT STAKEHOLDERSGOVERNORSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESINCOMEINEQUALITYINITIATIVEINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTEGRITYINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINVESTMENT CLIMATEJUDICIAL REFORMJUDICIARYKINGSLATIN AMERICANLAWSLAWYERSLEADERSHIPLEGISLATORSLEGITIMACYLEVELS OF PARTICIPATIONLOCAL COMMUNITYLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIESMARKET CONFIDENCEMEDIAMERITOCRACYMINISTERMULTILATERAL INSTITUTIONSNATIONAL SECURITYNATIONSNATURAL RESOURCESNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSOPINION POLLOPINION POLLSORDINARY CITIZENSPARLIAMENTPARTICIPATORY PLANNINGPARTICIPATORY PROCESSPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY MAKINGPOLITICAL ACCOUNTABILITYPOLITICAL ANALYSISPOLITICAL AUTHORITYPOLITICAL CAMPAIGNSPOLITICAL CHANGEPOLITICAL COMMITMENTPOLITICAL COMMUNICATIONPOLITICAL CONDITIONSPOLITICAL DIMENSIONSPOLITICAL DISCUSSIONPOLITICAL DYNAMICSPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL ENGAGEMENTPOLITICAL INFORMATIONPOLITICAL INTERFERENCEPOLITICAL LEADERSPOLITICAL PARTIESPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHERSPOLITICAL PROCESSESPOLITICAL REFORMPOLITICAL STRUCTURESPOLITICAL STRUGGLEPOLITICAL THEORYPOLITICAL WILLPOLITICALLY ACTIVEPOLITICIANSPRESIDENCYPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONPRIVATIZATIONPROCUREMENTPROCUREMENT LAWPROCUREMENT POLICYPROPAGANDAPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC AFFAIRSPUBLIC AGENCIESPUBLIC CONFIDENCEPUBLIC DEBATESPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC INFORMATIONPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC INTERESTPUBLIC OFFICIALSPUBLIC OPINIONPUBLIC OPINION RESEARCHPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONPUBLIC POLICIESPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC RESOURCESPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SUPPORTREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACYREPRESENTATIVESREVOLUTIONSRULE OF LAWSANCTIONSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE PROVIDERSSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL JUSTICESOCIAL SERVICESTAX COLLECTIONTAX REFORMTECHNOCRACYTECHNOCRATSTELEVISIONTRANSPARENCYTRANSPARENT MONITORINGVESTED INTERESTSVIOLENCEVOTINGWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/978-0-8213-7456-6
