Globale politische Kommunikation: Freie Medien, Gutes Regieren und Wohlstandsentwicklung

  • Chapter
Politische Kommunikation im internationalen Vergleich

Zusammenfassung

Im Mittelpunkt dieses Beitrags steht eine Analyse des Zusammenhanges von „Gutem Regieren“1, Wohlfahrtsentwicklung und medialer Kommunikation. Das Konzept „Good Governance“beschreibt ein verändertes Verständnis von Regieren, bei dem es nicht mehr um hierarchische, politische Steuerung sondern um eine Art gesamtgesellschaftliches Verantwortungsmanagement geht. Die Grundsätze von „Good Governance“sind Effektivität, Responsivi-tät, Demokratie und Transparenz. Effektivität bezieht sich auf die Leistungssteigerung des öffentlichen Sektors, insbesondere der Verwaltung. Respon-sivität umfasst die Verantwortlichkeit der Regierenden gegenüber den Regierten, also die Festlegung von Rechenschaftspflichten und öffentlichen Kontrollinstanzen. Demokratie beinhaltet nicht zuletzt die Verbesserung der rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen und Partizipationschancen. Transparenz erfordert freien Zugang zu Informationen, gilt als Mittel zur Korruptionsbe-kämpfung und als Voraussetzung für die Akzeptanz politischer Entscheidungen2. Nach Überzeugung von Weltbank und Vereinten Nationen kann nur eine Gesellschaft, in der es „Good Governance“gibt, positive Entwicklungsleistungen im Sinne von Wohlfahrtsentwicklung vollbringen. Damit sind die Verringerung von Armut und Hunger, Fortschritte der Medizin und Gesundheitsversorgung, Erhöhung der Lebenserwartung, Steigerung landwirtschaftlicher Erträge und Alphabetisierung gemeint.
