Good governance can contribute to the IMF's legitimacy by ensuring appropriate voice and representation for the membership, by allowing the Fund to fulfill its mandates effectively and efficiently, and by facilitating accountability for relevant stakeholders.  Three main conclusions follow from the studies in this volume.  First, to strengthen its legitimacy and effectiveness, the Fund needs greater, higher level and more transparent involvement of member country authorities in its governance.  Second, the Board needs to play a stronger role in strategy development and oversight, which requires a shift away from the day-to-day business of the organization.  Finally, there are significant accountability gaps that need to be addressed if the IMF is to remain effective and regain legitimacy.--Publisher's description  aAlso available online.20aInternational Monetary FundxManagement.1 aLamdany, Ruben,1 aMartinez-Diaz, Leonardo,
