Governance and Sovereignty "[T]ransformation (and globalization) has led to a reinvention of government and what it does“ - Anonymous
Reinventing Government?
Governance: an Overview of Issues • Focus of International Development: Post-2001: “Democracy and Governance” Human Rights (First but not second and third) • Basic Terms: The Environment of Development
Terms Governance Manner in which the state is created, modified or overthrown
Governance and the State • Sovereignty – Authority to Govern (Ostrom) • Presumption of Independence – A National Government status given by International Community and by use of International Law "States will necessarily remain central actors in development policy and development management. " - Milton Esman
Governance Issues Local Government • Primary unit of government that has both political leadership and bureaucratic structures
Governance Issues Civil Society • Associations and organizations that are beyond the clan and the family and short of the state (does not include state organs)
Civil Society • Definition: – Networks of organizations, groups and individuals pursuing socio-economic interests "Beyond the family but short of the state” - Hegal "Human Rights, Basic Needs and the Stuff of Citizenship” - First vs. Second generation
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Democracy Two Views
Democracy: What is it? "It is only when men learn what it means to be free, and struggle to maintain proper limits upon the exercise of authority so that no one is allowed to become master of the others that human beings have the possibility of creating mutual relationships which they may freely enter and leave as they seek mutually productive patterns of human development. " - Vincent Ostrom
Vincent Ostrom, Tej Kumari Mahat and Elinor Ostrom
Democracy: What is it? “The policy makers have rational interests--to develop their countries, to improve the condition of their people, to acquire or stay in power, or to steal as much as possible. ” Peter Berger, Pyramids of Sacrifice
Peter L. Berger Central to Peter Berger's work is the relationship between society and the individual
Types of Democracy: Terms • Direct Democracy – Actual direct participation of a population in decision-making about laws and regulations • Town hall or village model • Indirect Democracy – Some form of representative democracy • Pluralism – Existence of various diverse interest associations, individuals and groups within society (Focus on Tolerance)
New England Town Hall
Types of Democracy, cont. • Polyarchy – Diverse interest associations of society compete with each other over policy issues (Structured Pluralism) • Cooperative Movements (or Corporatism) – Diverse interest associations cooperate with each other and with organs of the state to make policy

Governance and Sovereignty • Rules of the Game politics: – Zero/sum vs. sum/sum politics • "Splintering” – Break up of states--centrifugal forces • Interest Group Liberalism: The goal? • Civil Society as organizational – Not the individual or the mass
The Nature of Conflict
Governance and Sovereignty • The need for apathy? • Constitutional vs. Social stability • Institutional structures: – Checks and balances – The Institutional State • What is the "Institutional State? ” Why is it important?
Decentralized Governance • Subsidiarity- higher units of Government should not do what can be done by lower units
