Month: February 2017

Our 5 component orthodoxy. Debate.

On February 2, 2017February 13, 2017 By Graham TeskeyIn Governance, Opinion5 Comments

So, here’s our take – but what’s your view? What is this ‘governance’ thing anyway and what does it mean to you?

What is this ‘Governance’ thing anyway?

On February 2, 2017April 3, 2017 By Graham TeskeyIn Governance, Opinion3 Comments

The first blog post will tackle the complex question of ‘what is this governance thing anyway?’ I remain surprised how many times I am asked this question. I suppose it’s like most things; if you know which English King was married to Eleanor of Aquitaine, then question is pretty easy. If you don’t it’s tricky.

This blog is supported by Abt Associates. The views and opinions expressed are those of the individual contributors and may not represent Abt Associates policies or opinions.
This blog is a frank and fearless forum for all things ‘governance and development’ with support from Anna Winoto and Priya Chattier, and other members of the Governance and Development Practice (Graham Teskey and Leisa Gibson).

It is a place for practitioners and theorists to share experiences and debate the complex and murky world that is ‘governance’ and international development. It does not necessarily reflect the views or policies of Abt Associates. Or sometimes even our own views.
