The Idea of Good Governance and the Politics of the Global South Summary

The Idea of Good Governance and the Politics of the Global South: An Analysis of its Effects by Haroon A. Khan

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.

The Idea of Good Governance and the Politics of the Global South Reviews

Haroon Khan provides a comprehensive and thoroughly researched account of the conceptual framework and implications of good governance in developing societies. This is an useful reference book for students of global politics and development studies.-Subho Basu, McGill University, Canada

Haroon Khan convincingly demonstrates how issues of good and bad governance are essential for social and economic development in the Global South. In particular, he shows how lack of good governance may undermine stable social relationships and inhibit economic investments and economic growth in poor countries. I will definitely recommend this book for my students of politics and public administration in developing countries.-Steinar Askvik, University of Bergen, Norway
