- Q: what is governance?
- A: Governance refers to the set of processes, laws, regulations, and practices that are used to make and implement decisions within an organization or system. It involves the distribution of power, the management of resources, and the decision-making processes that are used to achieve the goals of the organization or system. Governance can be exercised at various levels, from the local to the global, and can involve a range of actors, including governments, businesses, civil society organizations, and individuals. The concept of governance is often used to describe the ways in which power is exercised and decisions are made within political, economic, and social systems. It is closely related to the idea of leadership and management, and involves the development and implementation of policies, procedures, and practices that guide the operation of an organization or system.

- Governance is the process of interactions through the laws, norms, power or language of an organized society [1] over a social system (family, tribe, formal or informal organization, a territory or across territories). It is done by the government of a state, by a market, or by a network. It is the decision-making among the actors involved in a collective problem that leads to the creation, reinforcement, or reproduction of social norms and institutions".[2] In lay terms, it could be described as the political processes that exist in and between formal institutions. A variety of entities (known generically as governing bodies) can govern. The most formal is a government, a body whose sole responsibility and authority is to make binding decisions in a given geopolitical system (such as a state) by establishing laws. Other types of governing include an organization (such as a corporation recognized as a legal entity by a government), a socio-political group (chiefdom, tribe, gang, family, religious denomination, etc.), or another, informal group of people. In business and outsourcing relationships, Governance Frameworks are built into relational contracts that foster long-term collaboration and innovation. Governance is the way rules, norms and actions are structured, sustained, regulated and held accountable.The degree of formality depends on the internal rules of a given organization and, externally, with its business partners. As such, governance may take many forms, driven by many different motivations and with many different results. For instance, a government may operate as a democracy where citizens vote on who should govern and the public good is the goal, while a non-profit organization or a corporation may be governed by a small board of directors and pursue more specific aims.
In addition, a variety of external actors without decision-making power can influence the process of governing. These include lobbies, think tanks, political parties, non-government organizations, community and media.
Most institutions of higher education offer governance as an area of study, such as the Balsillie School of International Affairs, Munk School of Global Affairs, Sciences Po Paris, Graduate Institute Geneva, Hertie School, and London School of Economics, among others.
