 Abstract:

This study explains the concept of good governance in Pakistan and discusses the issues and challenges of governance in Pakistan and the expectations of the people from the setup. This work also estimates the past and present status of governance in Pakistan and proposes an idea for a fruitful and successful future. Good governance in Pakistan is probably ideal governance because its goals are difficult to achieve. Pakistan must control its shortcomings such as corruption, poor accountability and nepotism, lack of accountability, and mismanagement through the legislative framework to make sure good governance. This opinion has been reached with the help of the Normative Model of Governance.
