Does good governance act as a tool for resolving conflicts?

Yes, according to Nigerian author MJ Amachree, from Rivers State University of Science and Technology.  Good governance means many things, but it includes concepts such as popular representation, respect for minority rights, accountability, the rule of law, transparency, and due process protections. Without these safeguards (along with others mentioned in the article), the government degenerates, which can bring about conflict.
