Abstract
Government capacity and governance capacity are the new concepts in the literature of public administration and political science. Beside these concepts, there are other concepts that points at the capacity of institutions, and non-government organizations. Non-governance capacity has measured in such dimensions as the capacity of media, political parties, research institutions, pressure groups, private sector, and citizens. The innovative point in this article is the introduction of a model to recognize non- governance capacities in different countries. The study validates a conceptual model to measure the non-governance capacities in a quantitative approach, in which data is collected from different countries. Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyze the collected data. The results confirmed the validity of the conceptual model. In this model, the non-governance capacity measured by four subscales including; media capacity, research organizations capacity, citizen’s capacity and private sector capacity. For this measurement, data for 40 indicators from 159 countries were collected.
