The second part reviews rule of law and the role of government in the process of governance. Third part intends to broaden the understanding of how governance is affected by rule of law especially in the developing world. The last part of this study deals with the conclusions and findings.
The theoretical relevance of this paper contributes to a better understanding of specific components and factors that interlink governance and rule of law together in the public institutions. The main thesis of this study is, to what extend governance is affected by the rule of law?
