Political accountability refers to the responsibility or obligaÂ¬tion of government officials to act in the best interests of society or face consequences.Public officials should be held responsible for their actions.egal accountability concerns the mechanisms by which public officials can be held liable for actions that go against established rules and principles.
CLOSUP's study of political accountability focuses on the local level, where much less in known. On the one hand, many local government outputs-such as the services municipalities provide-are highly visible.n the other hand, local government processes-how decisions are made-may be quite opaque. Perhaps most importantly, the institutional incentives and information shortcuts that facilitate accountability at the national level are largely absent. This study is designed to assess the net effect of these factors.
