High Governance
Costa Rica surpassed or
was even with some world
powers in a World Bank
study of governance
indicators between 1996
and 2006.
Chile, Uruguay, and
Costa Rica are the best
performers among the
Latin American nations;
furthermore, they rank
better than
industrialized nations
such as Greece and
Italy.
The survey was done in
212 countries and is
based on data from 33
different organizations,
thus becoming an “index
of indexes”, according
to analysts. The basic
criteria include:
citizen’s voice and
responsibility,
political stability and
lack of violence, the
effectiveness of the
powers, the quality of
the rules, the rule of
law, and the control of
corruption. |
