Abstract
The paper takes a tour de horizon regarding: (a) the philosophical and conceptual issues of governance and democratization globally and in Pakistan, (b) the universal aspects of good governance objectives and processes applied in Pakistan, and (c) the governance priorities that emerged during stakeholder consultations that served as background to the launching of the Pakistan 20 I 0 program. At the very outset. most of the presentation is focused on ‘how to reform’ issues to instill a good govenance process and evolve credible mechanisms to implement reform measures.
