Description
This paper contributes to the debate on data for policy by presenting new data that sheds light on structures and hierarchies of measuring governance quality and identifies the actors that fund, produce and manage governance measures. In our contribution, we aim to analyze how political economy factors influence framing within the current global indicator culture, consequently setting the policy agenda in global governance.
