South Korea�s governance index, including freedom of press, politics, quality of regulations, constitutional governance and corruption control has been getting worse, according to World Bank announcement.
The World Bank released a report called Governance 2007, which evaluates 212 nations� freedom of press and civil participation, political stability, effectiveness of government, quality of regulation, constitutional governance and corruption control on July 10.
The governance index ranges from -2.5 to 2.5 and is based on polls of civilian, organizational experts, entrepreneurs and NGO officials and recent data from international organizations. According to the report, only government effectiveness improved from 1.01 (ranking: 46) in 2005 to 1.05 (ranking: 37) last year, while the rest of the five sectors seriously deteriorated.
Civil participation and freedom of press fell from 0.78 (ranking: 58) in 2005 to 0.71 (62) last year, which is close to that of Monaco (ranking: 60) and Tuvalu (61). In addition, political stability is worse compared to the index of 2005 and fell from 0.55 (76) to 0.42 (84) last year.
