Accountability is seen as an essential feature of governments,
businesses and NGOs. This volume treats it as a socially
constructed means of control that can be used by the weak as well
as the powerful. It contributes analytical depth to the diverse
debates on accountability in modern organizations by exploring its
nature, forms and impacts in civil society organizations, public
and inter-governmental agencies and private corporations. The
contributors draw from a range of disciplines to demonstrate the
inadequacy of modern rationalist prescriptions for establishing and
monitoring accountability standards, arguing that accountability
frameworks attached to principal-agent logics and applied
universally across cultures typically fail to achieve their
objectives. By examining a diverse range of empirical examples and
case studies, this book underscores the importance of grounding
accountability procedures and standards in the divergent cultural,
social and political settings in which they operate.
