About the lecture 'Institutional Foundations of Good Government and Governance'

Why do some countries have lower levels of corruption, deliver better public services, and enjoy greater citizen trust than others? Are there any key institutional characteristics of good government? What are the roles of public managers in creating a high-performing government?

The class will address questions such as:

• What explains the variations in levels of corruption, government effectiveness, and innovativeness across national and sub-national governments?
• Why do some countries have higher levels of corruption than others?
• Which countries have better gender representation in their bureaucracies? 
• How does gender representation influence government performance and levels of corruption?
• Why are public managers in some national or local governments more innovative than others? 
• How do the capacities and experience of public sector leaders affect performance?
