There is growing concern that welfare states are inefficient,
unsustainable and lack popular support. New Public Management
reforms affected the balance between managerial and political
accountability and disrupted administrative, legal, professional
and social accountability, causing confusion as to whom public
organizations are really accountable. The Routledge Handbook to
Accountability and Welfare State Reforms in Europe assesses
multi-dimensional accountability relations in depth, addressing the
dynamic between accountability and reforms. Analyzing how welfare
state reforms oriented towards agencification, managerialism and
marketization affected existing relationships in services
traditionally provided by public institutions, the theoretically
informed, empirical chapters provide specific examples of their
effect on accountability. Expert contributors explore the
relationship between accountability and performance and the impact
of reforms on political, administrative, managerial, legal,
professional and social accountability. The role of specific
actors, such as the media and citizens, on the accountability
process addressing issues of blame avoidance, reputation and
autonomous agencies is discussed. Comparative chapters across time,
countries, administrative levels and policy areas are included,
along with discussions linking accountability with concepts like
legitimacy, democracy, coordination and performance. This handbook
will be an essential reference tool to those studying European
politics and public policy.
