Stanford's Fukuyama searches for a better measure for government capacity
CDDRL, Governance Project NewsIn a discussion paper entitled What is Governance?, Francis Fukuyama searches for a better way of measuring the quality of good governance.

CDDRL's Governance Project, led by Fukuyama, will begin working to develop an empirical instrument to measure governance incorporating these principles.
