Arunachal Pradesh has undergone the transition to electoral democracy in comparatively short period of time. As elsewhere in the developing world and particularly in the tribal world, the establishment of formal institutions of liberal democracy has neither been smooth nor uniform in all parts of the state. Given the absence of insurgency and militancy, high level of participation in elections, smooth change of governments in the state, it would be probably correct to conclude that democratic processes and institutions have taken a firm root in Arunachal Pradesh.
Nevertheless, many key aspects of good governance are clearly absent in the state. Some of these problems are common to all developing societies; few others are generally found in almost all states of the northeastern region while some others are unique to the state.
The fundamental challenges facing the government and the civil society in Arunachal Pradesh today include the tasks of secularizing governance and democratizing development. The goals of building capabilities, expanding choices and safeguarding freedoms cannot be achieved unless the development process is made more inclusive and participatory in nature. The often talked about but least implemented, bottom-up approach to development is likely to suit the aspirations of the people in this state with so much cultural and ecological diversity. However, there is an urgent need to develop a transparent and non-discriminatory framework for governance, which in turn requires effective monitoring mechanisms and accountability at all levels. While there is always a scope for enhancing public investment in the development of physical and social infrastructure, mere announcement of financial packages, without an institutional strategy that ensures proper utilization of the fund will only reinforce the existing cycles of corruption, inefficiency and perpetual dependence. The role of civil society in this transformation can hardly be overstressed.
