Abstract
Over the last decade, the concept of “governance” has been increasingly employed in the discourse and practice of development of southern countries. Good governance appears to be the missing link in the road to development and poverty eradication. This article reviews the emergence of governance in the debate on international development, sketching at the same time the most relevant features of that concept. Additionally, it analyses the most usual responses to the question as to how governance matters for development. Finally, it draws some lessons for the future by assesing the limitations of the traditional approaches to promote good governance that donors have carried out.
