This collection investigates the ideological underpinnings and practical consequences of the 'good governance' paradigm within the framework of global neoliberalism. Edited by Jolle Demmers, A. E. Fernández Jilberto, and Barbara Hogenboom, the text brings together scholars to analyze how international aid policies and development strategies often mask the structural impacts of neoliberal regimes. By scrutinizing the normative implications of the term 'good' in governance, the contributors argue that these policies frequently exacerbate inequality and political instability in developing nations.

Experts recognize this volume as a critical intervention in development studies, noting its utility in deconstructing the often-unexamined rhetoric of international aid organizations. Readers frequently highlight the academic density of the prose and the breadth of the geographical case studies as key strengths for students of political economy.
