Government accountability is generally accepted to be an essential
feature of modern democratic society; while others might turn a
blind eye to corruption and wrongdoing, those who value
accountability would instead shine a bright light on it. In this
context, it is common to hear claims of accountability 'deficit' (a
particular mechanism or area is lacking in accountability) and
'overload' (a particular mechanism or area over-delivers on
accountability). Despite the frequency of references to these
concepts, their precise content remains undeveloped. This book
offers an explanation, as well as a framework for future
exploration, of these concepts. It highlights the difficulty of
defining a benchmark that might be used to measure the amount of
accountability in a particular situation, and also the challenge of
mapping out accountability mechanisms as a system. While difficult,
if accountability is indeed a foundational concept underpinning our
system of government, there is merit in meeting these challenges
head-on.
