Year: 2003

Type: report

Abstract: The contemporary nation-state exists to perform, to provide financial assistance, public services and other benefits to its people. How well the government performs influences the economic and social well-being of citizens, the mindset that voters take into the election booth, the programs and behavior of politicians and bureaucrats, and the relationship between government and the governed.
