Introduction

What makes governance 'good'? What are the factors that inhibit good governance? What institutional changes are required (at the local, national, regional, global systemic level) to achieve sustainable development? What is governance for? These are a few Big Questions that will be addressed in an interdisciplinary context. The efforts will be to explore neoliberal restructuring as the mainstream on development governance, and alternatives to it; the multidimensional nature of governance; different perspectives on the role of institutions in development, on why institutions and governance mechanisms differ across countries and on possibilities for institutional change. As such, it is directly linked to SDG16: ‘Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions’, which refers to the need to develop effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels, to ensure participatory decision-making, and to strengthen global governance - but governance as a theme is more broadly relevant to all SDGs.
