DISSERTATION
“Critical Accountability: Markets, Citizenship, Global Governance”
Chair: Romand Coles
The dissertation analyzes the concept accountability as it applies to debates
surrounding the global political economy and the democratization of its institutions.
I begin by critiquing suggestions that market accountability could provide a
substitute for democratic accountability. I then turn to several models of democratic
accountability found within the canon of political theory, including models
from Athenian democracy, the Federalist Papers, social choice theory, deliberative
democracy, and cosmopolitanism.
While recognizing the strengths of these models, I nonetheless argue that they
are insufficiently attentive to the questions of exclusion that invariably trouble
accountability relations. I conclude that participation needs to be made a more
central facet of how we evaluate the accountability of institutions and their
critics. To this end, I develop a notion of “critical accountability”
that seeks to interrogate its own grounding. Rather than seeing accountability
as something to be achieved in any present, I argue that it should be approached
as an ongoing project, as both a predicament and a promise.
Keywords: market accountability, principal-agent, deliberative democracy, participatory
democracy, representation, cosmopolitanism, social movements, global governance
