Accountability and Democracy (eBook, ePUB)

The Pitfalls and Promise of Popular Control

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Accountability and Democracy provides a critical study of the concept of "democratic accountability" as it figures in democratic theory and in debates over globalization. The book challenges views that emphasize political order, popular sovereignty, and control. It instead illuminates democratic accountability as a source of mutuality, participation, destabilization, and political transformation.
