Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s philosophy centers on the renewal of peoples and their spiritual cultures.

As I understand it, democracy and good governance are synonymous. Democracy is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

It is about accepting the people as a sovereign source of power. Governance can be classified as bad and good. Good governance is about using state power and resources in a justifiable and accountable manner. Rule of law, accountability, transparency, and people’s participation in a meaningful sense are some of the requisites of good governance.
