Sole focus on economic growth lead to growing disparity
Data issues... China and other East Asian countries skew the data for decreasing inequality (control globalisation)

Nothing too drastic happens without a policy process
Consistency
Rules there for a reason to protect us against bad policies
Bad when they constrain trying to solve the problem

Both positive and negative - no absence of bias and value judgements
Negative - information - how much is enough?

Trust gives credibility to decisions - even if it't not want you want
Perceived repeated 'betrayals' we diminish trust over time
Trust hard to gain but easy to lose
To what extent were the groups disappointed? How serious are the consequences of losing trust?
Different values - make it hard to make the 'right' decision for everyone - does that even exist?

Providing information, dealing with conflict, inducing rule compliance, providing infrastructure and be prepared for change
Ranking:
Information - quite high
Dealing with conflict - getting better?
Rule compliance - depends on the area, higher compared to other countries?
Providing infrastructure  - doing well
Prepared for change - nada

- Need balance of economic growth and advancements in collective well-being
- Economic growth important as a concept to provide society with a motivation and means for improvement
- from reading: "constant stream of small changes" rather than a one-off revolution
- This is a question of equity, rather than on economic growth itself, on how we relate to each other as members of a community
- (So how?) The trickle down effect is a farce! Institutions should reflect this effort towards cultivating a more equitable and egalitarian society.

Depends on the spectrum you judge QoL on (e.g. GDP or Happiness)
The culture of the country may influence the perceived importance of economic growth to QoL.
Not to say that relationships are not important for QoL. They are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

Questions in regards to MDB as it is too difficult to answer overall
-providing information - Strong scientific backing
- dealing with conflict - Not enough stakeholder engagement which cause conflict between interest groups. 0.5/5
- inducing rule compliance - decent job  4/5
-providing infrastructure - providing market for water rights 4/5
-being prepared for change - inflexible due to short political terms. Not prepared for major change 1./5

Good =
Easier to identify mechanisms
Consistency - easier to communicate / justify when there are "rules" to consult.
Predictability may be beneficial to equity -- processes usually ensure consultation.

Bad =
Rules may not be appropriate throughout time (could be perceived as a limit to flexibility/adaptability).
Potentially limits the rate of response (meeting the rules/requirements/ processes means that the response may be too slow)
Questions of: "who, why and to what end" - potentially problematic.

# data[].attributes.body
- Governments are part of bigger network of international governments.
- Governments have access to a larger resource pool, have greater monetary funds
- Governments have access to information that they need to make educated changes
- Governments have the credibility to implement changes.

Trust is imperative for effectiveness.

However, trust must be established as a result of critical thinking on reliable information (i.e. not blind trust)

Trust results in confidence which can lead to smoother processes of execution.

It depends on if disappointment is equivalent to mistrust. It also depends on the process of the decision. For example, it may be a breach of trust if the body consulted the groups, claims to care about what they have to say, but deliberately ignores them.
Versus, if the body uses the extent of the information to come to a conclusion that has validity but does not necessarily benefit all groups. This would definitely be disappointing but not necessarily a breach of trust.

It depends on the extent of the disappointment, the extent of harm,  the quality of the relationship between the decision-maker and stakeholders AND the historical context.
