ABOUT


Good Governance Worldwide is the interactive Web site of ASPA’s Section for Public Management Practice. Its aim is to promote good governance within a global community of public management practice – here in the United States and other advanced industrial countries and in modernizing and emerging democracies around the world. As a collaboration with other ASPA Sections and Chapters, this online journal and professional network aspires to offer a wide array of best practice content – through e-articles, commentaries, book reviews, interviews, blogs, podcasts, videos, topical forums, wikis, etc. – and open up networking opportunities for practitioners, applied researchers, PA students, trainers, and technical consultants, among others. Also, in addition to ASPA’s Sections and Chapters, we’ve reached out to other organizations with related content relevant to this worldwide community of practice – proven tools, techniques, strategies and field-tested experience that can be shared through such a global online vehicle.

On this page, you‘ll find the usual suspects that explain and describe the site’s purpose, affiliates, structure, steering group and editorial board. The “Interact” page is devoted to many of the networking vehicles we’re looking to put in play; and the “Contact” page lets you weigh in by submitting article ideas, questions and responding to calls for content and our editorial guidance. The pull-down that will likely get the most action is the “Content” tab. For example, in addition to our original, featured works, we have lots of “must read or watch” contributions from The Public Manager’s 40+ years of archival material, the ICMA and other state & local interest groups, Harvard Kennedy School’s Kokkalis Program on Southeastern and East-Central Europe (rich in videos of interviews and seminars), Princeton University’s Innovations for Successful Societies (ISS), The Alliance for International Educational and Cultural Exchange (one of our many links to the world of international exchange programs), Global Connections TV, The International Monetary Fund (IMF), The United Nations, Washington International, The World Bank, among others.

Not only is our focus both domestic and worldwide, but it aims to move laterally across the many bureaucratic silos that impede efforts to operate collaboratively. We expect to refresh the online site regularly and anticipate that as it becomes better known – within ASPA’s Sections and Chapters and other domestic-governance and globally-oriented circles – we’ll be well on our way to building a robust, searchable collection that users can tap and contribute to for some time to come. Please contact me directly at wciwmaster@aol.com if you have practice-oriented content to offer or propose.
