Now, however, Making Sense of Governance clearly shows the utility of research on governance, presenting empirical evidence from sixteen developing countries.The authors focus on six arenas: civil, political, and economic society and the executive, bureaucracy, and judiciary. Demonstrating conclusively for the first time that perceptions of governance by local stakeholders are realistic indicators of the nature and quality of a political regime, they also reveal the dynamic nature of governance and to what extent it correlates with socioeconomic variables.This comprehensive study is based on interviews in Argentina, Bulgaria, Chile, China, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Russia, Tanzania, Thailand, and Togo. 606 $aComparative government$xResearch 607 $aDeveloping countries$xPolitics and government 615 0$aComparative government$xResearch. 676 $a320.9172/4 700 $aHyde?n$b Go?ran$f1938-$0243697 702 $aCourt$b Julius 702 $aMease$b Kenneth$f1951- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807305203321 996 $aMaking sense of governance$94045062 997 $aUNINA
