| Summary: | Abstract After the failure of theories concerning the notion of government, the theory of good governance was introduced by the international institutions like the United Nations Commission on Human Rights and The World Bank Group in the recent decades. This theory puts emphasis on the strength of the governments. According to this theory, the way to achieve this goal is to revise the concept of governance. Examining this theory in the West has caused some concerns about its implementation in the Islamic societies. In this article, varrying opinions about this issue have been discussed with the viewpoints of its advocates and the opponents. The authors of the present study do not admit the ideas of neither group. Conversely, they believe that the theory of good governance and the excellent principles introduced in it can be accountable as a human experience. In this way, following the Islamic foundations concerning governance, like the principle of Islamic governance and some other rules concerning it, which are taken from the Holy Quran and the Islamic traditions, the theory of good governance can conditionally be applicable if it can observe the foundations of the Islamic governance. |
