Reviews

""In this volume, the editors advocate a distinct approach to the analytic challenge of ‘grappling with the conceptual chameleon that is accountability.’ Applying the concept analysis method associated with Giovanni Sartori, they bring together a wide-ranging collection of studies that highlights the benefits of putting aside our obsession with creating a definitive theory or framing and instead focuses on the insights generated by ‘adjectivization’ of accountability that characterizes most of the literature being generated by our field. The result is a major step forward in enhancing our understanding of accountability and its role in an increasingly complex and fragmented world.” — Melvin Dubnick, Professor Emeritus at the University of New Hampshire, US.
