Governance Improvement in India and China Based on the View of Social and Economic Development

摘要

Governance as a kind of institution, can play a critical role in economic development. Being emerging economies, India and China must reform and improve governance to fit in with the rapid change of economic and social facts. After conceptualization of governance, the author constructs an assessment framework based on the decomposition of social, and economic arenas - altogether 7 indicators, 5 and 2 for social, and economic area respectively, to measure governance improvement in India and China by using the selected indicators sequentially. Though confronting many difficulties, the two countries have made great progress of governance in recent years. The governance improvement in the two countries can give many enlightenments for other developing countries. Certainly, it is critical to find a desired approach of governing to push a nation's development and improve governance continuously with the social and economic changes over time.
