CONNEX: Thematic Conference on ACCOUNTABILITY
29 June 2007 - 30 June 2007
Austria
During the conference we will address six major themes which link discussions on accountability with each of the other core research areas in the Connex network. For each theme we have invited a senior keynote speaker who will look at the general parameters of the topic, exploring the state of the art and mapping the field and the issues involved.
It is envisaged that each of these paper givers will present not only the state of the art in terms of current thinking/research but will also deal with the reform panorama as well as with directions for future research. Each of these presentations will be followed by two shorter presentations which address more concrete research problems.
The themes as follows:
• Accountability and Transparency
• Accountability and Administration
• Accountability and Civil Society
• Accountability and Representation
• Accountability and Multi-Level Governance
• Accountability and Judicialisation
