Description: "Despite democracy's recent proliferation, for marginalized people in developing countries the promise of accountable governance remains largely unfulfilled. This book analyses how and why conventional institutions of democratic accountability fail to advance the interests of the poor, and assesses the worldwide wave of experimentation with new methods for holding powerful actors accountable."--Jacket.
