Contents	Introduction: governance and development / Jomo Kwame Sundaram and Anis Chowdhury -- The seductiveness of good governance / Rita Abrahamsen -- Good governance and donors / Brian van Arkadie -- Perception and misperception in governance research: evidence from Latin America / Marcus J. Kurtz and Andrew M. Schrank -- Good governance scripts: will compliance improve form or functionality? / Matt Andrews -- Is governance reform a catalyst for development? / Arthur A.

Summary	Whilst good governance is a worthy goal by itself, this book argues that it is not a prerequisite for economic growth or development. Challenging the conventional good governance paradigm favoured by the donor community, this book exposes the methodological shortcomings of the commonly-used governance indicators developed within the World Bank. It argues that aggregate good governance indicators are less helpful for identifying governance failure in specific areas needing policy interventions. Bringing together contributions from leading political scientists, political economists and development practitioners, this is the first book that focuses on such good governance issues -- page 4 of cover.
