Bertelsmann Stiftung´s project Sustainable Governance Indicators (SGI) explores OECD countries along a set of 147 indicators in terms of their need for reform (Status Index) and their capacity for reform (Management Index). Employing both qualitative and quantitative research methods, the SGI seek to identify effective policy-making strategies by means of systematic comparison. The SGI’s in-depth country reports and the international rankings are backed up by the collective expertise of more than 80 renowned international scholars. Additionally, the SGI project conducts various special studies focusing on sustainability related topics such as social justice or intergenerational justice. Moreover, the policy performance and governance capacities of the emerging economic powers Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) have been systematically examined by means of the SGI framework of analysis. In this manner, the SGI seek to contribute to the debate on “good governance” and sustainable policy-making, identify successful models and foster international learning processes within the OECD and beyond.
