World Bank has employed major dimensions to construct measures of governance. These dimensions are:
1. Voice and Accountability - measuring political, civil and human rights
2. Instability an d violence - measuring the likelihood of violent threats to or changes in government, including terrorism
3. Government effectiveness - measuring the competence of the bureaucracy and the quality of public service delivery
4. Regulatory burden - measuring the incidence of market, unfriendly policies
5. Rule of law - measuring the quality of contract enforcement, the police, and the courts, as well as the likelihood of crime and violence
