Theories of Governance

Theories of governance explain how organizations, governments, or societies are directed and controlled. They explore the structures, processes, and rules that shape decision-making, accountability, and resource management. Different theories emphasize aspects like transparency (how open decisions are), participation (how stakeholders are involved), and effectiveness (how well objectives are achieved). For example, some focus on hierarchical authority, while others stress collaboration among various groups. Overall, these theories help us understand the best ways to organize, manage, and ensure trustworthy leadership in complex institutions.
