Good Governance

Somewhat alarming were the recent deaths at an opposition gathering in Kampala. What does it mean to have good governance? The US government established some potential critieria for their Millenium Challenge Account, but it has subsequently been criticized for giving out very little money. And, some might argue American inconsistency with some of the principles we are espousing. While it may seem patent that good governments and economic development are directly related (Mugabe trashing Zimbabwe's economy is a good example), the reality is probably a bit murkier.
