Political leaders and institutions across the Global South continue to fall short in meeting the needs of their citizens. In response, this comprehensive book aims to establish the pathways to and outcomes of accountability in a development context, while also exploring the means by which individuals can seek redress and hold their public officials accountable.
The book offers a timely addition to the existing literature on accountability, featuring contributions from a diverse range of experienced and emerging scholars and practitioners from across the Global South. Chapters delve into the questions of how improved accountability relations emerge, under what conditions they can be sustained, and the role that civil society actors, donors, and new information and communication technologies (ICTs) can and should play in developing countries.
By integrating empirical case studies from Brazil, Egypt, India, Kenya, Uganda, and Zambia with a robust theoretical framework on accountability relations, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of accountability initiatives across the Global South. It ultimately reflects on how these initiatives contribute to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16.
This insightful book will serve as a valuable resource for academics, policymakers, and practitioners worldwide who are actively engaged in enhancing public sector accountability and implementing SDG 16. It will also provide guidance to social movements and citizen-led action.
