allAfrica.com: Africa: Explainer - How Indicators Have the Power to Shape Our World: "The use of indicators in governance has expanded from economic and sector-specific quantitative data to the measurement of almost every phenomenon. Our recent book focuses on indicators of governance itself, specifically governance through law. These are indicators purporting to measure practices or perceptions of good governance, the rule of law, corruption, regulatory quality, and related matters.
The underlying theoretical framework of this book is the linkage between knowledge and power. Indicators are both a form of knowledge and a technology for governance.
Like other forms of knowledge, indicators influence governance. They do this when they form the basis for political decision-making, public awareness, and the terms in which problems are conceptualised and solutions imagined."
