“Knowledge was an essential part of the making of the modern State and we judge governments by measuring and ranking them. Indicators — their collection, application, use, and comparison — are hence an essential part of global governance. But how to measure and compare the worldwide rule of law, integrity, good governance, stateness, institutional quality, government performance, sustainable development, or human rights? This groundbreaking, multiperspective and transdisciplinary book providesall that one needs to explore this new area.” (Sabino Cassese, Professor of Global Law, LUISS Guido Carli University, former judge of the Italian Constitutional Court and Emeritus Professor at the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa)

Makes a distinct contribution to the understanding of indicators as policy instruments by bridging the gap between politics and techniques Offers new analytical reflections on whether indicators can provide answers to global governance priorities, and on whether such metrics impact on policy orientations at global and sub-global levels Incorporates the practice and experience of institutional actors, including global NGOs
