Debating NGO Accountability / Jem Bendell  

Public ISBD Titre : Debating NGO Accountability Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jem Bendell, Auteur Editeur : UN-NGLS Année de publication : 2006 Collection : Development Dossier Importance : 101 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : ONG Tags : ONG  Développement  Pauvreté  Nations unies  Coopération internationale  Restructuration Index. décimale : 07.01 Société civile Résumé : Read the newspapers or switch on the television, and you will soon hear a story about the bad behaviour of someone in government or business. In a world of accounting scandals and scurrilous politicians, perhaps the only thing we can trust in is that our trust will bebreached. The desire for power is often said to be the cause of this social malaise and so, conversely, we may anticipate integrity in those who do not desire such power for themselves, but to help others.

Markets and good government / Robert Archer  

Public ISBD Titre : Markets and good government : the way forward for economic and social development? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Robert Archer, Auteur Editeur : UN-NGLS Année de publication : 1994 Collection : Development Dossier Importance : 52 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Commerce Tags : Commerce mondial  Développement économique et social  Bonne gouvernance  Marchés mondiaux Index. décimale : 03.01 COMMERCE / MONDIALISATION Généralités Résumé : The papers's first audience was British, and its argument reflects the emphasis that the British Government has chosen to give good government in its own policies. Over time it has been amended in various ways to take account of the needs of different audiences, but her original framework is nevertheless largely intact. As a result it reads like a northern (especially European) critique of a northern theory--and, since the theory makes some claim to universality, so does the critique! To clarify the framework, the first section (titled Overview) summaries the features (and weaknesses) of the theory of good government that has been advanced in broadly similar terms by a range of northern governments and international financial institutions. The second section (titled Commentary) describes in more detail the assumptions and logic of the official policies--in relation to the rather different assumptions of NGOs. The third section (titled Critique) challenges the assumption that market-led growth will generate conditions in the poorest countries that are easily compatible with achieving the other core values of the good government approach--democracy, respect for human rights, and high standards of administration in government and the law.
