    In Search of Development and Governance: Practice and Challenges in a Globalized World
    (CIU Journal, 2020-12-01) Ahmed Shafiqul Huque 1
    The idea of development was recognized as a tool for helping countries to achieve progress in establishing and sustaining economic and political systems and improving living conditions for citizens. For several decades, scholars and practitioners were optimistic of the success of the tool and some progress was achieved in some areas. A serious assessment of development revealed that it has not met the high expectations and, in fact, contributed to worse conditions for certain groups of people across the developing world. Several changes in the world system and the advent of globalization, in particular, distorted the outcome of many development efforts. Uneven results and disillusionment with development led analysts to consider the potentials of good governance that could contribute to the improvement of conditions by emphasizing a number of values such as accountability, transparency, adherence to rule of law, equity and efficiency. However, it is unrealistic to expect one single model of development or a prescribed strategy for attaining good governance in a globalized world. The article argues that it is time to recognize the inherent diversities across political, economic and social systems and recognize differences to build on strengths derived from indigenous traditions, cultures and practices

    The Idea of Management in Government: Evolution of the Concepts and Implications for Reform
    (CIU Journal, 2021-12-01) Moslehuddin Chowdhury Khaled1
    Debates about public-private similarity and dissimilarity go on due to “isomorphic mimicry” and unexpectedly lower results with management in government or public sector reforms. The fundamental concern about the government globally is how to make government work better for citizens more effectively, efficiently and economically while creating more value for the public. The core objective of this article is to develop a theoretical proposition of the “Management in Government” (MIG) discourse in a contemporary context by discussing its roots, evolution and convergence with modern management. To achieve this objective, we comprehensively followed and reviewed the literature focused on the emergence and evolution of “managerial effectiveness” and “operational efficiency” through historical analysis. This is important because the quality of reforms in government both in terms of design, implementation, and success, depends largely on this proposition and alignment. If reforms are to work, the theoretical foundation of management in government has to be based on the belief that “management in government” can be improved, despite debates around the concepts and constructs. Thus theoretically, it has become imperative that “management in government” is discussed as a functional discipline within management having customized the systems, processes, and mechanism, including people management.
