The Politics of Accountability in the Modern State

by Matthew Flinders

"In this work, Matthew Flinders examines how far alternative forms of accountability have evolved and the extent to which they remedy the current shortcomings of the parliamentary system. Adopting a pluralistic perspective, this exploration of the accountability of the core executive is clearly grounded in research methodology, thus ensuring the book makes a valid, incisive contribution to the literature." This volume will be of interest to undergraduates, post-graduates and lectures for courses on legislative studies, central government reform, public administration, British politics and research methods.
