Thanks Martin, www.sewa.org is an example of a system than
helps to protect,support and govern the lives of poor women in india and get
them into self-employment. I am not in a position to list many examples of
good governance, what I was saying is that there are many examples going on
every day on smaller levels. I could suggest that the northern european nations
in general have many good processes and practices (the dutch system is based on
the minoans. The purpose of my statement was to say that if we
look even for a short time, we can find examples of positive change
and good governance. I also get the feeling that if i was to start
listing examples, you would have great arguments about why each are not good
practices, someone else would have another point of view - and we'd all be
running around the same problem of arguing without any productive
outcome. I would like to say also that there are many people
building methods and tools which I believe can create good governance. Perhaps
there have not been more than a handful of positive governments (i have the
feeling people here in Europe don't appreciate how great far their governments
have come) but there can be change brought about through
interaction. I can recommend searching for "good governance" on
google and see who is putting money behind that buzzword. It's worth looking
into that. Regards Pras
