Governance Dialogue through Forms of Political System

Abstract

Governance is the processes and practices in which issues of concern are decided upon and regulated. It is important to understand and address the problems of political administration through well-known approaches to the concept of governance, such as corporate governance, global governance, good governance and modern governance. Ensuring the needs and expectations of the common citizen are given due regard. Understanding the relationship between fiscal and political decentralization and its forms is must. When centralization becomes a monopoly, it gives a second thought in searching for other Political systems, i.e. federalism, where a federal constitution is considered as a constitutional arrangement --- when the powers of government are distributed between the central and component units. The best examples are the federal systems of larger political entities of the U.S. federal government and the disaggregated federation of Nigeria.
Some democratic institutions always tried to fund decentralized governments under the abled and literate civil society for the success of anti-poverty measures, whereas Federalism encourages unity in diversity and is a very potent instrument for national integration in plural societies like the USA, China and India. It only becomes fragile when politicians mobilize support along ethnic lines, as in the case of newly formed countries.
