At the end of the 20th century, the consolidation of neoliberal principles determined the transformation of relations among state, private sector and civil society organisations by increasing the role of civil actors in decision making processes, provision of social services, representation and defence of group interests. The deficit of democracy, emerged in regard to politicians' dependence on big business, had induced social indifference and distrust on government decisions, that in turns allowed NGO to transform from peripheral actors to active advocates of public interest. These reforms encouraged the research of NGO governance from the perspectives of organisations' and managements theories. The analysis of NGO governance's concept, presented in this paper, is based on examination of main structural elements of NGO governance and assessment of organisations' accountability as part of governance processes. The main objectives of the paper are: 1) to review the main characteristics of NGO and transformations of its roles by presenting different scholars' perspectives toward NGO as deliverers of social services; 2) to discover the complexity and contextuality of NGO governance concept by summarising the current research in the context of neo liberal transformations of public administration and by analysing different models of NGO governance. The paper continues the discussion on the principles of good NGO governance by presenting the NGO governance models typology, based on two dimensions: established versus innovative and unitary versus pluralistic. The systematic analysis of scientific literature and comparative analyses were used as the main methods to achieve the objectives of the paper. [.]

This paper analyzes the scientific discourse of governance and university governance within the framework of the existing concepts, it also deals with alternation of university governance in the context of European higher education regulations and directives, presents analysis of the traditional and entrepreneurial university governance models of the content aspect. It also presents the results of "International Comparative Research on University Governance Models" carried out by the paper authors emphasizing the context of Finland's higher education and university governance and the case of Lapland University. Although traditional higher education values dominate in many missions and visions of Finnish universities, internal institutional governance of the University of Lapland has recently become entrepreneurial. Good governance of the university is associated not only with distinction of administrative and academic functions, reduction of bureaucratic processes, but also with the openness of the university, good communication and understanding of the academic culture.

The discipline of Public Administration is marked with an ever growing increase in theoretical models of governance. However, this theoretical proliferation is not matched by a meta‑theory that would allow building an understanding of the interrelation of these models. The dissertation provides an in‑depth analysis of selected theoretical models which is used as a basis of researching the role of the Government of Lithuania in the formation and development of Lithuanian public governance.

The citizens' right to participate in the conducting the public affairs is accepted as one of the democracy principles constituting the base of the good governance. The members states of the European Council have to embed the participation principle in the internal laws and, if necessary, in the Constitutions. The legal aspects of participatory governance in local self-government are analysed in this article. In accordance with the documents of international organisations, international and Lithuanian acts of law, participation is one of main principles of the good governance. The analysis of participation principle helps to disclose in which way and in what forms local residents can participate in management of the public municipal affairs. It is identified, that the content of participation principle includes: direct participation of local residents in preparation of and discussion on the decisions' projects; direct participation of local residents in the meetings, rallies and polls; direct participation in the analysis of public petitions. Furthermore, the municipal institutions have to inculcate the principles of self-government in the institutions of education, cultural and in other, to support associations initiatives, which are related to the managing the public municipal affairs. Accomplished analysis of law acts allowed to establish that the implementation of residents' municipal rights is concurrent with the institutions, through which this right is implemented, and (or) with the organisation and activity of their accountable institutions.

We also have organized some scientific expeditions in the different regions of our state with the purpose to collect data about evaluation of local authorities' collaboration with communities and about proposals of active citizens for possibilities of improving of self-governance system, as well as system of election for municipalities' council members, mayors and chiefs of municipality administrations. Our proposals, stated in the paper, encompass a model of three stage system of self-governance, rejecting of proportional elections system, based on voting for list of candidates of only one political party, strongly limiting rights of voters, as well as improvement of elected people responsibility to local community.
