In an attempt to better compare and contrast between different (and somewhat vague) explanations, there is a list, from which the most relevant keywords were extracted. It was also possible to create a 'word cloud' of associated terms; this tool is commonly used to visualise text data and is useful in exploratory search tasks. Our impression of the literature and reports related to this term is that the authors tend to generalise and are inclined towards giving either a state-centric or a society-centric definition of 'governance'. In trying to define the terminology, studies, and reports comply in that 'governance' is 'a process' or 'method' of 'controlling', 'states', 'society', 'citizens' and 'organizations'. It was observed that political unions or institutions (such as the European Commission and EU agencies) tend to emphasise the political aspects of governance, whereas others (such as the World Bank) focus more on the societal and economic aspects, thus giving a more generic explanation. There seem to be instances where definitions of the term are 'built' or 'tweaked' purposefully and subsequently agreed upon, for example, during the opening stages of national and global fora.
