Polity, policy and good governance

Abstract

This study concentrates on the polity and good governance of a country in the developing world. The concept of democracy has changed the scenario of every nation in the modern world. Nations which have adopted democracy have designed their policy in such a way that, they meet the existing world demands in globalization without affecting their culture. Asian countries like India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, China, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, etc., are the best examples for describing the growth of culture parallel to globalization. A nation‟s fate purely depends on a good policy. The law-makers, policy designers are the pillars of a nation in the globalized world. Critics argue that, globalization in the modern world affects the native culture of a nation. But, I argue that, though globalization enables countries to share and explore human and technological resources, it’s the policy of the nation which protects the native culture. A strong and healthy policy of a nation creates good relationship between citizens and markets, people and culture, legislators, executives and judiciary. Policy is dependent on polity and thus leads to good governance. Therefore, culture, globalization in the modern world depends on the nation‟s polity, policy and good governance.
