Abstract
One of the more interesting by-products which accompanies the spread of English as a lingua franca is the launching onto the dark waters of misunderstanding of terms that possess meaning and precision in one historic or political context but which, taken over into another setting, suddenly lose both. There is, of course, another and even less enviable fate possible, and this is for a term to become so utterly divorced from its original meaning that it mutates into what amounts to little more than a new version of “the Black Box”. There are many examples of this process — “accountability” figures amongst the foremost with “governance” following swiftly on its heels (Harman, 1992; Neave, 1998, 2000a).
