Despite the key importance of accountability for the legitimacy of
humanitarian action, inadequate academic attention has been given
to how the concept of accountability is evolving within the
specific branches of the humanitarian enterprise. Up to now, there
exists no comprehensive account of what we label the 'technologies
of accountability', the effects of their interaction, or the
question of how the current turn to decision-making software and
biometrics as both the means and ends of accountability may
contribute to reshaping humanitarian governance. UNHCR and the
Struggle for Accountability explores the UNHCR's quest for
accountability by viewing the UNHCR's accountability obligations
through the web of institutional relationships within which the
agency is placed (beneficiaries, host governments, implementing
partners, donors, the Executive Committee and UNGA). The book takes
a multidisciplinary approach in order to illuminate the various
layers and relationships that constitute accountability and also to
reflect on what constitutes good enough accountability. This book
contributes to the discussion regarding how we construct knowledge
about concepts in humanitarian studies and is a valuable resource
for academics, researchers and professionals in the areas of
anthropology, history, international relations, international law,
science, technology studies and socio-legal studies.
