The Centre for Governance Studies at BRAC University seeks to foster a new generation of researchers, public administrators and citizens with critical and analytical perspectives on governance.
The Centre’s State of Governance research project is devoted to providing empirical evidence and conceptual clarity about governance in Bangladesh. It seeks to demystify a contentious topic to further constructive discussion and debate.
Good governance is often viewed as a means of advancing the agendas of official and multilateral development institutions. The Centre believes, however, that there is a large domestic constituency for good governance; and that governance is properly deliberated between citizens and their state rather than by the state and external institutions. The Centre’s working papers are a means of stimulating domestic discourse on governance in Bangladesh. They bring to the public domain the insights and analyses of the new generation of researchers.
The initial working papers were originally developed as contributions and background papers for Centre’s first annual report, the State of Governance in Bangladesh 2006, in collaboration with the Research and Evaluation Division of BRAC.
