“What we often look on as scandals, mal-administration, bad luck or accident…

... often has its root causes in issues of governance. Though, historically, governance has been the poor relation compared to other more noticeable areas of regulation, one of the reasons we notice governance in the UK more often nowadays is due in no small measure to the work - from thought-leadership to debate via shaping legislation – of Governance. It’s unofficial but important role in educating and informing key decision makers by covering such a comprehensive and varied range of topics in every edition including emerging trends and international best practice make it a true leader in its field but often also ahead of its time. Articles are regularly thought provoking as well as making a very real contribution to the debate on the best way forward to improve governance and across all sectors too. There is always something of interest to discover or discover anew in any edition of this highly relevant specialist publication. Congratulations to Lesley and the team on your twenty-first anniversary and best wishes for the future. Given the various crises in governance affecting us all the issues covered by the journal have never been more important to discuss, debate and act upon.”
