This volume on democratic accountability addresses one of the
burning issues on the agenda of policy makers and citizens in
contemporary Latin America. In much of Latin America,
disenchantment and cynicism have set in regarding the quality of
elected governments raising the prospect of a new round of
democratic erosion and breakdowns. One of the important emerging
challenges for improving the quality of democracy resolves around
how to build more effective mechanisms of accountability. A
widespread perception prevails in much of the region that
government officials are not sufficiently subject to routine
controls by oversight agencies. Corruption, lack of oversight,
impunity of state actors and improper use of public resources are
major problems in most countries of the region. Dealing with these
issues is paramount to restoring and deepening democratic
legitimacy. The fundamental question in this volume is how
democratic leaders in Latin America can improve accountability
while simultaneously promoting governmental effectiveness.
