Arora, Dolly creator text xu| 1998 continuing ng p.385-397. In the context of `good governance' emerging as prime aid conditionality entailing radical interference with politico-economic processes in Third World countries, the author analytically brings to the fore several critical issues connected therewith having serious implications in terms of: insensitivity to diversity of needs and experiences; pre-emption of any participative-democratic process and treating aid-receivers as mere subjects (not sovereigns), telling them what they must or must not do; legitimising insensitivity to the legitimate aspirations and demands of the people, particularly those on the periphery; and fore-closing all options, possibilities, and even new understanding of things. The remedy, she emphasises, lies in revitalising political space and reorganising institutional space based on serious rethinking to promote greater sensitivity to the marginalised sections under the present dispensation. - Reproduced Public administration Good governance Indian Journal of Public Administration 180718
