The recent growth in research on "good governance" and the quality of government institutions has been propelled by empirical findings that show that such institutions may hold the key to understanding economic growth and social welfare in developing and transition countries. We argue, however, that a key issue has not been addressed, namely, what quality of government (QoG) actually means at the conceptual level. Based on analyses of political theory, we propose a more coherent and specific definition of QoG: the impartiality of institutions that exercise government authority. We relate the idea of impartiality to a series of criticisms stemming from the fields of public administration, public choice, multiculturalism, and feminism. To place the theory of impartiality in a larger context, we then contrast its scope and meaning with that of a threefold set of competing concepts of quality of government: democracy, the rule of law, and efficiency/effectiveness.

“…In Western ideology, harmony is regulated by the rule of law, and if the rule is broken, there will be punishment (Rose, 2004). In contrast, Confucius sees Propriety (li 禮) as the key to achieving harmony, and therefore Propriety is the foundation for political rule (Cheng, 2011b).…”

The objective of this review essay is to expand the concept of Pauk-Phaw beyond the conventional Western international relations discourse of realism, liberalism, and constructivism. Pauk-Phaw is a Burmese term meaning kinsfolk assigned specifically to describe the asymmetrical relationship between China and Myanmar. This paper argues that for China, whose traditional world-view was based on a Sino-centric tributary system, the strategic culture of the country is still relevant in exploring the foreign policy options available to the state that do not necessarily fit into existing Western international relations literatures. Pauk-Phaw, as a dialectic tool to examine state-to-state relations embedded in Confucian culture, may represent an epistemological break from conventional Western traditions, and therefore may hold promise to enhance the understanding of how China and its former tributary states conduct their relationships.
