The term governance deals with the processes and systems by which an organization or society operate. Frequently a government is established to administer these processes and systems.
The word derives from Latin origins that suggest the notion of 'steering'. This sense of 'steering' a society can be contrasted with the traditional 'top-down' approach of governments 'driving' society or the distinction between 'power to' in contrast to governments 'power over'.
Meanings
The World Bank defines governance as
- the exercise of political authority and the use of institutional resources to manage society's problems and affairs.
- the use of institutions, structures of authority and even collaboration to allocate resources and coordinate or control activity in society or the economy.
