The role of governance in realising the transition towards sustainable societies
2016
It is widely known that governance is central to the successful implementation of sustainable development policies and measures.

Supply and Demand of e-Government Services in Developing Countries: Cases from Tanzania
2013
One of the main contributions in order to create development in poor countries is to give people access to information and communication.

One area where information technology and public Internet access can be particularly useful for the development of poor countries is as a tool for promoting good governance through e-government systems. Generally, developing countries are lagging behind in e-government adoption, and in this…

Los códigos de buen gobierno ¿son útiles para mitigar los pseudoliderazgos públicos?
2021
International audience; Leadership is one of the main roles of institutions and the lack of integrity of certain leaders affects the decision logic. The corruption of leadership degenerates into a pseudo-leadership which benefits from the principle of hierarchy that exists in all organizations. The lack of integrity of the leaders affects decision making and the structure of the organization.

Corruption cases have stimulated in the last decade the elaboration of a legislative repertoire of codes of good governance in public administrati…

To contribute to recent scholarship attempts at defining the character and tendencies of this emergent regime, the article traces one of its key ideological antecedents from Carl Schmitt’s earlier formulation for a “strong state, free economy”. It then presents a su…
