First, good governance is predicated upon mutually supportive and cooperative relationships between government, civil society, and the private sector. The nature of relationships among these three groups of actors, and the need to strengthen viable mechanisms to facilitate interactions, assume critical importance. Second, good governance is defined as possession of all, or some combination of, the following elements: participation, transparency of decision-making, accountability, rule of law, predictability. Third, good governance is normative in conception. The values that provide the underpinning for governance are the values postulated by the defining actors and institutions.

Good governance has 8 major characteristics. It is participatory, consensus oriented, accountable, transparent, responsive, effective and efficient, equitable and inclusive and follows the rule of law. It assures that corruption is minimized, the views of minorities are taken into account and that the voices of the most vulnerable in society are heard in decision-making. It is also responsive to the present and future needs of society.

A new process of governing; or a changed condition of ordered rule; or the new method by which society is governed.
I view governance wearing public administration and public

policy spectacles and define it as follows:

‘1. Interdependence between organizations. Governance is broader than government, covering non-state actors. Changing the boundaries of the state meant the boundaries between public, private and voluntary sectors became shifting and opaque.

2. Continuing interactions between network members, caused by the need to exchange resources and negotiate shared purposes.

3. Game-like interactions, rooted in trust and regulated by rules of the game negotiated and agreed by network participants.

4. A significant degree of autonomy from the state. Networks are not

accountable to the state; they are self-organizing. Although the state does not occupy a privileged, sovereign position, it can indirectly and imperfectly steer networks’ (Rhodes 1997a: 53).

In sum, governance refers to governing with and through networks. For clarity’s sake, it is best if the word always has a qualifying adjective.
