The workshop on ‘Global Governance by Indicators-Measuring Governance and Stateness’ will bring together scholars and policy-makers to promote mutual understanding and learning about the role of indicators in evaluating the quality of governance and stateness. The workshop will address three fundamental questions:
• What do governance and stateness indicators measure?
• How are particular metrics created and further developed over time?
• How do they impact on decision- and policy-making?
First, the workshop aims to debate what is meant and measured by ‘governance’ and ‘stateness’. The discussion will attempt to map how several normative quests have shaped the manner in which indicators have been developed over time.
Second, the workshop will approach the technicality of ‘measuring the unmeasurable’, exploring the methodological and conceptual uncertainties faced by some of the most important metrics of governance and stateness.
And third, the workshop will debate the implications and use of governance indicators as the basis for political action and instruments capable of influencing policy-making.
