Resumo

The purpose of this article is to share with new users of governance indicators for comparative policy analysis some strengths and pitfalls of the construction of these data, along with relevant features of their evolution over time, such as the addition of the so-called “second-generation indicators”, which are focused on specific aspects of governance, their effects on social welfare, along with transparency issues in the process by which these indicators are created and their replication. Among the challenges of the production and usage of global governance indicators, emphasis is made on those related to the operationalization of the abstract concept of governance. Furthermore, the article encourages the creative exploitation of the array of governance indicators available today when drafting essays and doing consultancy work and research in the field of comparative policy analysis.
