Conclusions

1 2 3 Strong positive relation between „Institutional Learning“ (esp. Reform capacity) and Policy Performance in the SGI

• Constant review of political institutions as well as systemic adaptation to external and

international pressures seem to enhance policy performance

„Institutional Learning“ only one important feature of „good and coherent governance“ –

• ther important elements covered in the SGI (e.g.):
• Capacities for strategic planning in the phase of drafting policies
• Regulatory Impact Assessments in order to detect incoherencies during the phase of policy

development

• Inter-ministerial coordination and ministerial compliance in the phases of policy

implementation

Next edition SGI 2014  more PCD-sensitive, either explicitly with new indicator(s) or implicitly by reshaping existing indicators

SGI: Five stages of data review

All regional coordinators meet to compare and calibrate the results for each region.

• 4. Inter-regional

calibration

The SGI Board evaluates and approves the final results.

• 5. Results

validated

The 1st expert establishes a first country report, a combination of a written assessment and personal scores.

• 1. Data

Collection

The 2nd expert reviews and edits the country report and provides his own personal scoring.

• 2. Review

The regional coordinator evaluates and establishes a final report upon the provided data.

• 3. Regional

calibration

„Commitment to International and Supranational Law“ (M7.NEW)

Does the government commit to international and supranational law? This question studies whether a government shows commitment to international and supranational law. Commitment does not only imply the adoption of international rules in domestic law but also the control of its application and its effective enforcement where the law is violated. Relevant international or supranational law includes public international law (e.g. human rights, war, criminal, climate treaty law) as well as supranational law of regional entities (e.g. EU/Mercosur law).

• The government commits to an extensive set of international and supranational law. Its commitment is characterized

by effective and consistent adoption, application and enforcement. (10/9)

• The government commits to an extensive set of international and supranational law. In some cases, its commitment

lacks consistent application or enforcement. (8/7/6)

• The government commits to international and supranational law on a partly selective basis. (5/4/3)
• The government does not commit to international and supranational law or any adoption on paper lacks coherent

application or enforcement in practice. (2/1)
