The concept of ‘governance’ risks becoming an empty catch-all phrase. This is even truer for a concept such as ‘good governance’, which is often prescribed as a panacea for any number of Africa’s woes. Although the concept seems intuitive, intuition will suffice neither for academic nor policy research, and cannot serve as the foundation for policy recommendations. his chapter aims to conceptualize governance and then to problematize the ideal of ‘good governance’. Throughout, and in order to ground the discussion in real-world cases, arguments are illustrated with examples from the Democratic Republic of Congo and other resource-rich countries in Africa.
