<br/><br/> Good governance has now become a passion as all governments and regimes appropriate and/or misappropriate the term for development or populist reasons. However, democratic good governance is the catalyst for development. The idea of reinventing government is necessary in order to confront the dynamics and challenges of development in the era of globalisation. This is the main thrust of this review article. the article reviews three major books, the focus of which provides analytical insight towards reinventing government for achieving the MDGs and other development agenda. The book argue that to redesign and reinvent governments for development, attributes of democratic good governance must be articulated, localised and contextualised based on individual country's historical-political experiences and socio-economic capabilities. - Reproduced.
