Abstract: Thomas (2009) rejette les indicateurs mondiaux de gouvernance (IMG) en considérant qu′ils constituent une hypothèse élaborée mais non confirmée en raison de l′échec à démontrer la « validité de construit » de ces indicateurs. Nous soutenons que la « validité de construit » n′est pas un instrument utile pour évaluer les mérites des IMG et que, même si c′était le cas, Thomas ne fournit aucune preuve d′une quelconque conséquence concrète du non respect du critère de « validité de construit ».
