Accountability and tofu

Accountability is an abstract concept that is variously and metaphorically described as a social and political process (Day and Klein, 1987; Sinclair, 1995) with dimensions (Day and Klein), functions (Bovens, 2005), forms and discursive constructs (Sinclair, 1995).

And as a chameleon, a chimera, links in a chain, and tofu. Tofu? Yes - go and download Dubnick's draft paper, as he says not to quote it yet.
