Good governance in public administration

Abstract

Good governance is a common denominator for reform processes in public administration, which can potentially become supranational. It includes a set of doctrines and governance techniques in public administration. Considering the changes and challenges faced by the public administrations of countries around the world and the necessary reforms in response to them, this concept, with its universal potential, can serve as a kind of guide for them. It represents an aspiration to make public administration more open, transparent, and accountable. The principles contained in the concept of good governance should be understood as fundamental principles on which modern public administration rests and as a standard presented to national public administrations that should be strived for.
