Conceptually, governance is linked with the ideological triumph of neo-liberalism. The theoretical roots of governance are located in ‘neo-liberal’ economic theories, especially ‘neo-right ideology’. Government is ‘redefined’ in market paradigms by redrawing boundaries of public administration. In the new dispensation, governance is an interface between state, market, and civil society. The neo-liberal ideology has changed the role and activities of the state. The rise of neo-liberalism as a new ideology of policy making has downsized the government and allowed more free play of the market and civil society. The traditional bureaucratic model appears to have lost its significance, because of growing importance of the non-state actors in Citizen-centric administration
