Zusammenfassung: | This book examines whether the mechanisms of accountability characteristic of democratic systems are sufficient to induce the representatives to act in the best interest of the represented. The first part of the volume focuses on the role of elections, distinguishing different ways in which they may cause representation. The second part is devoted to the role of checks and balances, between the government and the parliament as well as between the government and the bureaucracy. The contributors of this volume, all leading scholars in the fields of American and comparative politics and political theory, address questions such as, whether elections induce governments to act in the interest of citizens. Are politicians in democracies accountable to voters in future elections? If so, does accountability induce politicians to represent citizens? Does accountability limit or enhance the scope of action of governments? Are governments that violate campaign mandates representative? Overall, the essays combine theoretical discussions, game-theoretic models, case studies, and statistical analyses, within a shared analytical approach and a standardized terminology. The empirical material is drawn from the well established democracies as well as from new democracies |

Dunn -- Situating democratic political accountability / John Dunn This book examines whether the mechanisms of accountability characteristic of democratic systems are sufficient to induce the representatives to act in the best interest of the represented. The first part of the volume focuses on the role of elections, distinguishing different ways in which they may cause representation. The second part is devoted to the role of checks and balances, between the government and the parliament as well as between the government and the bureaucracy. The contributors of this volume, all leading scholars in the fields of American and comparative politics and political theory, address questions such as, whether elections induce governments to act in the interest of citizens. Are politicians in democracies accountable to voters in future elections? If so, does accountability induce politicians to represent citizens? Does accountability limit or enhance the scope of action of governments? Are governments that violate campaign mandates representative? Overall, the essays combine theoretical discussions, game-theoretic models, case studies, and statistical analyses, within a shared analytical approach and a standardized terminology. The empirical material is drawn from the well established democracies as well as from new democracies Democracy Elections Representative government and representation Responsibility Regierung (DE-588)4049012-9 gnd rswk-swf Repräsentative Demokratie (DE-588)4049535-8 gnd rswk-swf Verantwortlichkeit (DE-588)4187523-0 gnd rswk-swf Demokratie (DE-588)4011413-2 gnd rswk-swf Wahl (DE-588)4064286-0 gnd rswk-swf Verantwortung (DE-588)4062547-3 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content Demokratie (DE-588)4011413-2 s Wahl (DE-588)4064286-0 s Verantwortlichkeit (DE-588)4187523-0 s DE-604 Repräsentative Demokratie (DE-588)4049535-8 s Regierung (DE-588)4049012-9 s Verantwortung (DE-588)4062547-3 s Przeworski, Adam 1940- (DE-588)124178936 edt Stokes, Susan Carol 1959- (DE-588)140224386 edt Manin, Bernard 1951- (DE-588)132741008 edt Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe, Hardcover 978-0-521-64153-1 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe, Paperback 978-0-521-64616-1 Cambridge studies in the theory of democracy 2 (DE-604)BV047214075 2 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781139175104 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
