Governance and the External Factor
分析了治理如何影响援助效果和经济增长,定义了国际公认的良好治理核心特征,并探讨外部机构如何在发展中国家合法有效地促进这些特征。
The design and functioning of governmental systems is currently much debated. Aid agencies are increasingly preoccupied by how governance influences the effectiveness of aid and promotes economic growth. Nondemocratic governments are coming under increasing pressure to reform. A corollary to this view is a widespread conviction that centrally controlled economies are inefficient and that liberal market policies offer better prospects for rapid growth. This paper provides a framework for analyzing these issues. It attempts to define the core characteristics of good governance that enjoy wide acceptance internationally and examines how such characteristics may be legitimately and effectively fostered in developing countries by external agencies.
