The article theoretically and practically analyses principles of Good Governance and their implementation at the level of local self-government. The multiplicity of good governance conception, the specificity of principles of Good Governance in the local self-government are revealed by the insights of foreign and Lithuanian scientists, official international documents. Practically we tried to investigate the implementation of principles of Good Governance in Siauliai city municipality preparing a hypothetical model of implementation of principles of Good Governance in local self-government. Invoking the experts of Siauliai city municipality in the context of self-evaluation, the implementation of Good Governance principles in the municipality was analysed emphasising the problems and foreseeing possible trends of governance improvement. The research has showed that the equivalents of principles of Good Governance are established in legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania that the representatives of self-government institutions must follow in their activities, but often their implementation faces lack of a clear strategic vision, prevailing manifestations of governance conservatism that do not stimulate initiatives and changes in local self-government.
