Indeks : p.231-236 p.219-229 This book fills a growing gap in the literature on international development by addressing the debates about good governance and institution building within the context of political development. It returns the key issues of human rights and democratization to the centre of the development debate and offers the reader an alternative to the conventional approach to, and definition of, the idea of development. Discussing political development in its broadest context, it includes chapters on democracy, institutional-building, the state, state failure, nation, human rights and political violence. The author argues that good governance is not just about ensuring the integrity of a state's financial arrangements, but that it goes to the core social and political issues of transparency and accountability, implying a range of social structures defined as institutions.
