Quality of governance as measured by World Bank indicators for the region of south-east Europe

Summary/Abstract: The comparative international measurement of state governance or corruption did not exist until twenty years ago. In that time, the number of empirical investigations concerning state governance has started to increase rapidly. The most famous basis of good governance indicators is based on the lengthy research programme of the World Bank and its research section. This includes six key dimensions of governance: freedom of expression and responsibility; political stability and the non-existence of violence; government efficiency; legislative quality; the rule of law; and the control of corruption. The World Bank publishes the results of its research once a year, covering 185 countries all over the world.
