The subject of this paper is of interest to me for two reasons: one is the debate about followership, and the consequent set up of the follower as a straw man, at the receiving end of the blame game about the ills of the Nigerian society, an issue I found scholarly attractive. To confess, I have had a longing for an engagement with the subject. Two, you cannot go beyond governance to address followership without reference to the former.
Following Rhodes and Rosenau, Stoker notes that there is a redirection in the use and import of governance, signifying a change in the meaning of government to mean a new process of governing society along certain code of governance morality that are distinct from the traditional institutions of government. The point is that governance is no longer monolithic in terms of its meaning.
In a research report titled Our Global Neighborhood issued in 1995, The Commission on Global Governance defines governance as the sum of the many ways individuals and institutions, public and private, manage their common affairs. It is a continuing process through which conflicting or diverse interests may be accommodated and cooperative action maybe taken.
Notwithstanding the above insight into the dynamics of governance as a conceptual category, it is operationalised here as those processes that lead to the establishment of equilibrium in society, i. e, balancing of the interests of all the social forces in society in the dispensation of public good. This is the responsibility of government within the ambit of the state. So, we are back to the point of departure where governance assumed multifaceted meaning.
