Abstract

"Good governance" became the catch phrase of the twenty-first century, as policy makers, economists and engineers, looked for a breakthrough to address the issue of sustainability. Failed strategies like nation building to provide social stability, river damming to secure fresh water, and urban zoning to promote economic activity, have shown that sustainability is a complex question beyond securing resources, or enacting the right policies.
