Collaborative governance and policy change: the case of right to information (rti) law in Bangladesh / Nurmohammad, Kazi ; Haque, Hossainul   Article
Kazi Nurmohammad Hossainul Haque Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In a modern democratic state, civil society that includes Non Government Organisations (NGOs) is an important governance actor. With increasing demand for policy change as part of governance reforms, governmentNGO-donor collaboration emerged to facilitate the process. Governance of collaboration or collaborative governance has been instrumental in policy changes across countries and sectors. However, the collaborative governance literature predominantly focus on in-country and local cases of “consensusoriented decision making” by multiple stakeholders in wide range of fields. This article attempts to fill the gaps in literature by showing first that collaborative governance can be a tool of policy changes not just day-to-day policy choices, and second, the ‘transnational’ dimension of collaborative governance, in which case foreign or multilateral actors join with local and national actors in decision making - a frequent phenomenon in many countries of the global south that receive development assistance. The article examines the role of collaborative governance in policy change through a case study of the Right to Information (RTI) legal reform in Bangladesh. It adopts the general model of collaborative governance as depicted in Chris Ansell and Alison Gash’s seminal piece ‘Collaborative Governance in Theory and Practice’ to explain government-NGO-donor collaboration over RTI law in Bangladesh.

Has RTI succeeded in restoring good governance in India? / Kumar, Satish; Kaur, Silky   Journal Article
Kumar, Satish Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Recently, RTI has again stirred a major controversy between the two leading political parties and personalities in the forthcoming general election. The bringing of six political parties under the scanner of RTI is still a matter of debate. If the political parties are an instrument of democracy and democracy has to be scaled on parameter of transparency and accountability, RTI becomes very relevant to it but more of politics and less of concrete actions are what is visible. Whistle blowers and RTI activists are being targeted in different states of India. It proved the fact that still the legal instrument is widely practiced by an individual rather than by established institutions.
