‘or achieving Good GovernanceDEFINITION OF GOVERNANCE
Global Development Research Center (GDRC) 2004
Defines Governance as
“The science of Decision Making”.The concept of
governance refers to the complex set of values, norms,
processes and institutions by which society manages its
development and resolves conflict formally and informally. It
involves not only the state, but also the civil society at the
local, regional, national and global levels.
&MEANING OF GOVERNANCE
The concept of governance is not new.The word Governance came from the
Latin word Gubernare or more originally from the Greek word"Kubernaein”
which means'“to steer"(to guide)
In ancient times the Greek philosopher Plato also used the term
Governance.
Even in kautilya's Arthasastra, we find the concept of Good Governance.The
foundation of Good Governance is Dharma (righteousness) In Arthasastrathe
king is expected to behave in a most righteous manner and the main purpose
of the king is to protect Dharma. It says in the happiness of his subject lies his
happiness ,in their welfare his welfare, whatever pleases him(personally) he
shall not consider as good, but whatever makes his subjects happy, he shall
consider good.Types of Governance
