چکیده:
Nowadays, the 'good governance' paradigm has been a common and dominant method for managing society at the global level and is distinct from government and rule. In this article, first, 'good governance' and its indicators are examined using a 'descriptive-analytical' method, and then 'competent governance' and its indicators are analyzed from the perspective of Hazrat Ali (AS). Finally, a number of indicators of competent governance from his perspective are compared with the indicators of good governance from the perspective of international institutions and Western thinkers.
خلاصه ماشینی:
Accordingly, good governance and its indicators, as defined and explained by international institutions, cannot be a sublime model or program for the progress and expansion of human society, especially for developing countries and also Islamic countries.
Problem Statement The fundamental question that this article seeks to answer is: Can a model of governance be presented based on the practical and theoretical Sira (biography) of the government of Hazrat Ali (peace be upon him), through which an Islamic society can be managed; a model that is different from the good governance model?
Good Governance According to the United Nations Development Programme, good governance is: governance with characteristics such as participation, transparency, accountability, effectiveness, adherence to equality, promotion of the rule of law, and the determination of economic, political, and social priorities based on a broader consensus, in which the voice of the weakest and most vulnerable individuals is heard in decision-making and resource allocation (United Nations Development Programme, 1997, p.
According to the United States Agency for International Development, good governance is: democratic, transparent, inclusive, participatory governance in decision-making, representation of the people, and accountability, which focuses on five bases: strengthening legislation, decentralized and administrative local and democratic governance, anti-corruption, having civil-military relations, and improving policy implementation (USAID, 1997, p.
Given these fundamental criticisms leveled against the theoretical foundations of good governance as the dominant model in the Western world, the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, says: The Western model for development is an unsuccessful model; because despite Western countries achieving wealth and power, human values and spirituality have been lost in these societies (Nazemi Ardakani, 1387, p.
