This chapter examines the evolution of theories and doctrines of governance and development administration, especially over the post-WWII period. Because sound governance is the bedrock of responsive and effective policy, no other aspect of development, whether economic, political, or social, can escape the ravages of poor governance. As mentioned in chapter 2, economists have joined other social scientists and all shrewd practitioners—that institutions matter. This is certainly the province of governance.
