Description and Table of Contents
Description
One of the major objectives of good governance is human development. Many worry that without good governance, many developing countries may become failed states.
Using one of the worst industrial disasters in Bangladesh to date, Haroon A. Khan helps further our understanding of the importance of bureaucratic capacity for achieving good governance and offers a new paradigm for a merit system to improve governance. In doing so, he introduces the reader to the concept of good governance and its importance by investigating its relationship with failed states, globalization, bureaucratic effectiveness, and human development.
The Idea of Good Governance and the Politics of the Global South will be useful for the students interested in political science, public administration and international relations.
