GOOD GOVERNANCE AND ITS IMPACT ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

Good governance is a polymorphous concept that stems from economic and political science. It is used both in the context of the management of public action and in a strategic perspective of economic development. In this article, we are first interested in deconstructing the various contributions to define and reaffirm the role of "good governance" in development strategies. What is "good governance"? How does it have an impact on a country's economy? This paper addresses the issue of causality between good governance and economic development, by examining the inter-connections between economic development and governance indicators to increase transparency and efficiency. The purpose of this article is to organize a systematic literature review in a scientific manner from data collection, through data selection, reading and finally data analysis. The impact of good Governance in economic development differs in political system structure, governance current characteristics and contextual factors. Although outcome factors are influenced by contextual determinants, the governance characteristics are of great importance.

Governance is defined as the exercise of economic, political and administrative authority to manage a country’s affairs at all levels. It comprises mechanisms, processes and institutions, through which citizens and groups articulate their interests, exercise their legal rights meet their obligations and mediate their differences. Thus, governance can be summed up as a process through which authority in a country is exercised (UNDP, 1997; UNESCO, 2012). Development linked governance has been an issue much debated about in the contemporary world. Since the second half of the 1980’s, growth and development studies have started to shed light on the importance of improving institutions of governance on economic growth. Good institutions, good governance and good leadership are considered by many authors as necessary conditions to support the development effort of a country or region. Good governance is believed to be the single most important factor in eradicating poverty and promoting d...

This study explores the conceptual interface between democracy, development and good governance. It also examines the symbiosis between the three concepts, from theoretical perspective and the praxis. The paper historicizes and traces the emergence of good governance as a concept and universally acceptable principle and its use in international development literature to situate how public institutions ought to or should conduct public affairs and manage public resources, particularly within the frameworks of corporate, international, national and local administration or organizations, and the civil society. The study examines the relationship between democracy, good governance and development in Nigeria and blames the slow pace or the state of development in the country, not on lack of resources, but on the absence of good governance, transparency and accountability. It also identifies pervasive corruption and weakness of institutions of the Nigerian state which individuals manipula...

This paper revisits the main arguments on the role of ̳good governance‘ in facilitating economic development. It observes that there are some examples in which neoliberal ̳good governance‘ played a role in facilitating economic development but there are many other examples in which countries attained some level of economic development with governance institutions that were bereft of much 'good governance‘ elements. Thus, it concludes that 'good governance‘ is not an essential pre-requisite for development but it might play some role in facilitating development. The paper argues against the dominant 'one-size-fits-all‘ approach to good governance and support 'good enough governance‘, that encourage reforms to be questioned, prioritised, and made relevant to the conditions of individual countries.

Overview: Good governance is essential for national development, serving as a fundamental pillar that supports economic growth, social progress, and sustainable development. It involves the implementation of policies that promote inclusiveness, the rule of law, and participatory decision-making processes. Body of Knowledge: Inclusive governance ensures that all segments of society, including marginalized groups, have a voice in decision-making processes, promoting social equity and reducing disparities. Moreover, good governance creates the foundation for robust economic development, social harmony, and enhanced quality of life, driving a nation towards comprehensive progress. Methods: The study adopted a mixed methods approach combining quantitative and qualitative data. The study was conducted in Lusaka district, the capital city of Zambia at 6 institutions; 3 belonging to government and 3 under private sector. The target population was 1000, with a sample size of 100; involving government officials and administrators, members from Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and the general citizens. Interviews and questionnaires were used to collect data. The study used descriptive analysis to analyze the data. Results: Effective governance promotes efficient public service delivery, reduces corruption, and enhances the equitable distribution of resources, enabling a conducive environment for businesses and investments. Additionally, good governance supports the creation of robust legal and institutional frameworks that uphold human rights and justice, contributing to a secure and predictable socio-political landscape.

Economic governance has been the foundation of the economic development and growth. Impact of good governance and role of institutions in the process of economic growth and development required for governance have been crucial to investigate due to lack of theories to incorporate the role of good governance in the process of economic growth and institutional reforms. The status of economic growth is dependent on the capacity of institutions, especially in case of an economic structure where state has major role in market and formulating the macroeconomic policies. Good Governance demands participation of all the actors and most of the time public institutions' role and their participation in understanding potential in economic development visa -vis in dynamic global arena is not deliberated. Moreover, economic development is mutually contributed by both public and private institutions. Scrutiny of the good governance principles and political economy of the public sector institutions, it emerges that economic governance depends on the institutional capacity building aliened with more realistic good governance principles. This practice eventually leads towards alleviating internal inefficiency and objective progress eventually reflected by the socioeconomic growth and development at large. This paper analyses the dimension of good governance with historical context to Pakistan and proposes short term and long term measures for economic and governance reforms in Pakistan

Since the 1990s the concept ‘good governance’ has become one of the most widely used in debates in development, public policy and international relations. Despite its recent prominence the concept ‘good governance’ has frequently used in different meanings and implications. Following an introduction, which includes a historiographic note on development discourse, the first part of this paper is intended to be an overview of diverse definitions, interpretations and measuring problems of good governance. The purport of the second part of this paper is to focus on whether good governance matters in development or not, the performance of good governance in Albania. This paper has argued that good governance is indispensable in Albania, because misgovernance is a great hindrance and predicament to development. The politicization of bureaucracy, judiciary, appointment, transfer and promotion in all most all offices, lack of voice and accountability, inefficiency and satisfying the vested ...

No matter how good the governance of the certain county is. It still boils down to the presence of the strong leaders and well evolved people to use good governance as a tool for the development, if the country will lack these two aspects, good governance is good as dead to them because it will not do any good more than destruction, corruption and development of under development.

Climate change and urbanization have caused environmental problems to cities, making it critical to build a low-carbon, resilient, and sustainable urban environment. Green façade (GFA) is an important nature-based solution for implementation by exploring urban vertical space. GFA is often expected to meet versatile needs across different fields, but existing literature has not well documented the evolution of green façade research and future directions. Accordingly, this study examined GFA studies in 2010–2023 through a review to identify progressive trends, conceptual terminology, knowledge gaps, and future research directions. Overall, the GFA could be described by 46 additional terms given structure, vegetation, and technique properties. GFA research has evolved into transdisciplinary research, but mainly includes four clusters: (1) urban greening and sustainability; (2) energy saving mechanism and associated factors; (3) green infrastructure and cooling benefits; and (4) modelling and simulation for heat island mitigation and microclimate regulation. However, the ecological properties, lighting, and acoustic performance of GFA have scarcely been analyzed. Europe and China were key contributors of relevant literature, and there was strong co-authorship among authors from an organization, region, or country. Future efforts should focus on (1) verification and quantification of GFA environmental, ecological, and health benefits, (2) technical needs, economic benefits, social acceptance and support, and policy formation for promotion, (3) development of efficient and tangible numerical models and GFA typology for parametric analysis, and (4) promotion of inter-department, inter-organization, and inter-regional collaboration. Overall, this study enhances GFA understanding to enable the transformation from research to practice.
