Trade Review
“Each chapter makes a genuine contribution to scholarship and illustrates the various understandings of accountability, its levels, and the forms it takes in various communities. The case studies provide an excellent opportunity to interrogate the role of elites in various contexts, including Morocco, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Sudan, South Africa, and Mauritius. The authors show a deep and wide understanding of accountability and the range of scholarship that bears on the chosen topics. It makes a huge contribution to scholarship in this field.”
