This book examines how efforts to exert accountability in crises
affect public trust in governing institutions. Using Sweden as the
case study, this book provides a framework to analyse
accountability in crises and looks at how this affects trust in
government. Crises test the fabric of governing institutions.
Threatening core societal values, they force elected officials and
public servants to make consequential decisions under pressure and
uncertainty. Public trust in governing institutions is
intrinsically linked to the ability to hold decision-makers
accountable for the crucial decisions they make. The book presents
empirical evidence from examination of the general bases for
accountability in public administration, and at the accountability
mechanisms of specific administrative systems, before focusing on
longer term policy changes. The author finds that within the
complex web of bureaucratic and political moves democratic
processes have been undermined across time contributing to
misplaced and declining trust in governing institutions.
Accountability in Crises and Public Trust in Governing Institutions
will be of interest to students, scholars and practitioners of
public policy, political leadership and governance.
