This concluding article summarizes the main arguments and contributions of the special issue on virtuous circles of governance in areas of limited statehood. Furthermore, the article points out directions for future research. I argue that in order to understand virtuous circles of governance adequately we need to pay more attention to power dynamics between governance actors and citizens, including conflict and coercion. We also need to broaden our empirical basis to substantiate claims on the virtuous circle argument and research additional cases and regions, particularly over time. This also includes the development of precise measurements for different degrees of legitimacy of both state and non-state actors. Lastly, we need to elaborate on the conceptual differences between trustworthy government and legitimate government and the diverse sources for both beyond effective performance
