4. The Problem of “Good Governance” as a Donor Narrative

Hye is critical of the World Bank and IMF’s “good governance” agenda from the 1990s. He argues these frameworks—focusing on transparency, rule of law, and anti-corruption—are not wrong, but they are exogenous. Imposing performance indicators designed in Washington or London without understanding local power structures (feudal landholdings in Pakistan, caste dynamics in India, or syndicate politics in Bangladesh) leads to ritualistic compliance, not real change.
