Routledge Frontiers in Accountability Studies

Routledge Frontiers in Accountability Studies series promotes state-of-the-art analyses that reflect and interrogate the shifting accountability landscape from a range of perspectives. The series embraces a rich seam of scholarship that encompasses the analysis of blame-games, notions of responsible government, concerns about delegation and patronage, impeachment processes, crises management, multi-level governance, public trust, accountability webs and overloads, plus the cultural, historical and psychological foundations of accountability processes. The core focus or intellectual glue that binds this broad range of topics together is a recognition that the dynamics of public accountability are changing as a result of complex social, economic, cultural and technologically-driven trends. These trends place pressure on traditional assumptions and processes as they struggle to cope with increasing complexity and fluidity. This is the accountability challenge that every book in this series is expected to in some way address and engage with.

The series welcomes proposals for monographs, edited collections and shorter works by established and early-career academics from a range of disciplines that span the arts, humanities and social sciences. Inter-disciplinary studies are particularly encouraged, as are approaches that seek to challenge dominant frameworks of ‘self-evident’ truths. The series is designed for a global audience, welcoming contributions that address national, comparative and international issues.
