Next Steps Agencies and Problems of Accountability.
The term ‘accountability' is a relatively modern interloper into the vocabulary of constitutional law, and its successful diffusion should almost certainly be regarded as significant. The word possesses no exact meaning and appears to embrace aspects of more traditional terminology of ‘responsibility' and ‘control'. Next Steps Agencies are a technique of managerial administration designed specifically to increase accountability. But the examples given clearly illustrate the insufficiency of the present arrangements for accountability. This reform failure has caused problems at a political level concerning ministerial responsibility. Select Committees thereby continue to challenge the government and demand powers to question and discipline the real authors of administration. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
