虽然治理在政策辩论中被广泛使用，但它仍然是一个模糊的概念，有时指的是理论方法，有时指的是意识形态立场。从许多发展中国家的角度来看，它意味着西方机构强加的一套“处方”和限制。本文探讨了如何在现有方法的基础上，将治理概念发展成为社会和发展科学的分析工具，而不受意识形态内涵的影响。为此，本文提出了我认为最流行的四种治理概念方法：公司治理、全球治理、善治和现代治理，对这些方法进行了比较和分析，既考虑到它们的差距，也考虑到它们对所设想的分析工具的潜在贡献。为这一工具制定的标准是，它应适合于分析不同社会和不同时期的不同层次的社会动态，对参与分析的行为者不应有任何限制。因此，治理首先被界定为当集体利益导致竞争与合作时发生的决策过程。
Although governance is widely used in policy debates, it has remained a fuzzy concept, referring sometimes to theoretical approaches and sometimes to ideological stances. From the point of view of many developing countries it connotes a set of ‘recipes’ and constraints imposed by Western institutions. This article explores how, based on existing approaches, the concept of governance could be developed into an analytical tool for the social and development sciences that does not fall prey to ideological connotations.For this purpose, the article presents what I consider to be the four most popular approaches to the concept of governance: corporate governance, global governance, good governance, and modern governance.These approaches are compared and analysed in terms of both their gaps and their potential contributions to the analytical tool envisioned. The criteria developed for this tool are that it should be suitable for analysing social dynamics at various levels, in different societies, and at different times, and that there should be no limitation to the actors incorporated into the analysis. Accordingly, governance is delineated in the first instance as the decision-making processes that take place whenever collective stakes lead to competition and cooperation.
