Produktbeschreibung

This book responds to an on-going perception of a 'crisis' in public accountability in modern-day governance caused by globalization and increased power of private economic interests. It provides the most comprehensive survey to date of how different organizations hold persons acting in the public interest to account and the problems they face. It includes studies not only of Anglo-American experiences, but also of those of foreign and transnational organizations such as NGOs, transnational resistance movements, the Indonesian labor movement, and the Chinese Parliament. Contributors are all internationally-recognized experts in their fields.
