Good Governance: Art, Craft And Accountability

Henrieta Anisoara Serban

Abstract :

The paper relates good governance with its EU model indicators – openness, participation, accountability, transparency, effectiveness and coherence– and with transparency. Good governance should not reduce to good rhetoric, as it involves decision–making, information, freedom of expression, and transparency. Deficient transparency implies deficient communication and democratization (poor quality of the political class, corruption, and poverty). Investigating the hypothesis that governance based on republican tradition is an accountable political craft, good governance relates the techniques, rules and good practices of politics, best approximating a democratic political optimum. Democratization depends on good governance exerted by local, regional, national and global factors, according to the good governance’s set of principles. This perspective interprets the connection between republicanism, trust and accountability, in our globalising world.
